    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,

    Miguel is fantastic! We appreciate how he took the time to get to know us and our dog, Lola. And customized things to fit our situation. He also made the ‘homework’ easy to add to our routine while still having plenty of time to play or snuggle with our girl. Lola quickly dropped some bad habits and now knows we will be her protector. She doesn’t need to protect us. We are more confident taking her anywhere now too. We highly recommend Miguel!

    What a difference a lesson can make in your life and the life of your dog! I didn't realize how much I was allowing the dog to control our household until Miguel came over. Now that the tables have turned, what a great dynamic we all have! No more barking, growling at other dogs on leash and ignoring my commands. Oh and the door manners -- it's like night and day. If your waiting to train your dog, don't.

    Wow! what an amazing trainer. Miguel was able to turn my crazy, out of control Lab into a sweet, calm, gentle dog. I know this will take practice and time on my end to keep this going, however I'm already blown away with how well these methods work.
    If you are in need of a great dog/people trainer, I would call Miguel and Bark Busters immediately, you won’t regret it. Thanks Miguel for everything .

    Miguel provided a great session. I have an older dog which I thought I’d have to deal with a few issues for the rest of the dogs lifetime. However, Miguel was able to help me improve his walking, actions at the door around visitors and also my communication with my dog. Looking forward to getting my dog from a few issues to none. Looks like the old dog is learning new stuff and quite easily. I also really like the style of communication over treat training.

    Dick is a dynamic, educational and empowering teacher/trainer.

    He most certainly respects and honors the Bark Busters methodology …..

    ….. and the results of our dog’s training are amazing!
