    Photo of Lola Miguel was fantastic with my dog--and with me! Lola is a Great Pyr-Lab mix, age 5, who is high energy, pulls on the leash, and barks loudly at passersby, especially those with dogs. Miguel gave me a new leash that has worked wonders. Now I enjoy walking her. He also taught me how to manage her very loud barking at people at the front door, laying down in her bed so as not to drive me nuts when I'm trying to read or work on the computer. Miguel is also very kind. Due to a serious health condition I've developed recently, in which I can't risk being pulled over or jumped on, he has been looking for a foster or forever home for Lola. I recommend Miguel 1,000%!!! He is excellent at his craft and a natural dog whisperer!

    Miguel was amazing! He was incredibly patient with my loud little Jack Russel Terrier, Guster. He gave me some good drills to work on over the next week and an easy to follow schedule. I would 10/10 recommend Bark Busters and Miguel. You won’t regret it.

    Miguel was very patient and thorough with our two corgies and with us! We loved that you come out to the home vs our past dog training experiences were in distracting groups full if other dogs. This was 1/1 with my husband and I and our dogs. He was very mindful of our home and removed his shoes on entry and brought them to our back yard. Our pups were very responsive to the training and are still responding to our commands on day two! Miguel also recommended a special leash and sent a link we asked for as well. We highly recommend him and Bark Busters and I immediately made a Facebook post to that effect with a link to them and Miguel’s card. You will not be disappointed!

    Miguel was easy to work with, and very knowledgeable about dogs. He came with tools to help us get control of a dog we had just adopted. He took his time with us and our dog. He returned phone calls. He gave us good information about the breed and what to expect.
    With Miguel's help, things improved within a week.

    Photo of Rooney and Judi Miguel was extremely helpful with our dogs. Judi our main concern seemed to take to it so easily. Rooney actually became the more resistant to training, but since the first session, she has had great progress. I feel like the whole family has a better understanding between each other. I would highly recommend Barkbusters and Miguel for anyone. Especially because it’s life long so it’s comforting to know I can just contact Miguel with questions or schedule another session whenever.

    We were at our wit's end with our energetic 8-month-old Golden Retriever, Rufus. Jumping, pulling on walks, destructive behavior and ignoring commands – it felt overwhelming. Then we found Miguel, and it was a game-changer!

    Miguel's positive, patient, and knowledgeable approach led to immediate results and is helping us have the confidence to be better leaders for Rufus. Miguel’s training methods are clear and effective. He is sensitive to the needs and barriers of our household and able to offer helpful suggestions tailored to our unique circumstances.

    In just a short time, Rufus has become a calmer and more obedient pup. We can finally enjoy walks and time playing or relaxing at home together.

    We can't recommend Miguel highly enough! If you're looking for a trainer who will not only train your dog but also empower you as an owner, look no further than Miguel!

    Miguel is awesome! We are a CA transplant and Miguel has been so good to us. His communication is wonderful, he's professional, and so good with Lou, my mini golden doodle. Every time he leaves, I have more confidence and direction of what to do and how best to help Lou. Thanks Miguel!

    Just as listed, Miguel spent a couple hours with us on the first meeting, observing the dogs (my dog and wife's dog. Discussing what we wanted and observing the dog's interactions with each other and and ours with them as well as discussing what we wanted to accomplish. He gave us quite a lot of written information as well as spoken to base our training program on. We couldn't have ask for a better trainer. He taught us by both spoken word as well as example what to do and how to do it to accomplish our goals for the our dog. He has come back for our last two meeting to teach further as well as check the degree of success we have had implementing his teaching instructions. We marvel how much we have learned from him in the short of time and how much progress our dog has made. We Highly recommend him without any reservation to anyone desiring a home trainer,
