Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

Wow! What a transformation in such a short time. Totally worth having Bark Busters guide us through the training with wee Gino 5.5mth old Mini Schnauzer with a big attitude and loud and often bark issue. But also help with all other obedience problems.

Our first session with Keiko was awesome! Keiko was very lovely to work with. She was very professional, knowledgeable and passionate in the way she shared her information with us. Her communications were clear and she gave great examples to help us understand what we as Ula's family needed to do and put in place to help connect and communicate better with her. She introduced and explained the Bark Busters Training Techniques clearly and showed us in practice with Ula all in that first session how it was effective. The education she gave us around how dogs operate and communicate and what she shared about nutrition for Ula was much appreciated too. Just in that first session with Keiko we saw great improvements for both ourselves and Ula and we are all much calmer and clearer on our path forward. By committing to the homework Keiko has set with us, we see positive things for Ula and us all as a family. We are so glad we reached out to Keiko for help and signed up for the lifetime support. We would not hesitate to recommend Keiko to all. Thanks so much Keiko.

We've worked with Keiko on our older dog (now 8, M, Lab) since he was about 3 to fix some tough habits and noticed a massive difference and so when we got a new puppy (8w, M, Retriever), she was one of our first calls. She's amazing at handling my big family and training all of us to be good leaders to our dogs as well as training our dogs. Would highly recommend. She's incredibly generous with her time and knowledge and with a lifetime support package, it's a no brainer.

Keith was great. Explained everything in a clear and concise manner. Was great to receive firm direction on how to deal with the issues that we encounter.

Mark was fantastic, he didn't just cover training, he also gave us recommendations for our dogs diet, exercise and tips on how to manage them in our home environment. We have a 3yr old Labrador and a 2 yr old Husky, and within half an hour of Mark being with the dogs we noticed a huge difference in their obedience and behaviour, so much more relaxed. I especially loved that it was all based on positive interactions with our dogs and wasn't treat based (we have a rather overweight Labrador) and the Husky is more interested in being on a mission than food.

Was great . Very informative. Still a way to go with the excitement bit and being anxious but we are getting there, much more relaxed dog who is listening now.

We found Marks training was very informative . Its a lot to take in at one time but good to see results almost instantly and to have the notes to refer back to. Mark is very patient and it is obvious he enjoys and loves his job.

Understanding and empathetic trainer who had an immediate effect upon how I discipline an anxious (biter and runner) rescue. Within 24 hours Pax was responding to my intervention and coming back to sit at my feet. He’s already more relaxed, less wound-up when I come home and happier in himself. We are so grateful that we can have the best of whatever time we have left together. ❤️🐾

Our 3yo boy, Dino, had bitten twice and, heartbreakingly, we were considering putting him down because we were so stressed about it happening again and we have young kids and lots of people visiting. We talked to a few trainers but Keiko offered us the most hope from that initial call. Keiko quickly showed us that Dino felt like he had to control situations because he was above us in the hierarchy. She gave us the tools to change this and taught us how to communicate better in dog language. It is funny because we have had numerous good dogs for over 20 years (and Dino's best mate Max is amazing), I have horses, cows etc but Dino, really tested us. You think what you are doing is right because you haven't had any issues for 20 years but this is where we were wrong and we needed a professional come and explain to us what we were doing wrong and open our eyes. Since Keiko has visited we have noticed a remarkable change in his behaviour and can see over time that we can break these bad habits completely. We are so grateful because she really has saved us a lot of heartache and Dino's life. Thank you Keiko!!

Had a great first session. Keith was here for 4 hours and was very thorough. Kind and gentle with both dogs but firm with instructions to both us and them.

Keith was very professional in his approach to our concerns, he asked questions to establish our worries then explained in layman terms how we can adjust our interactions with our dog to change our dogs behavior and how he reacts in different situations. Keith provided information pamphlet's and explained various scenarios covering our concerns. Keith left us with homework to continue with and arranged for another visit in a month. I would have no hesitation in recommending Keith.

Mark was here 3.5hrs explained lots very informative and helpful. Demonstrated heaps and gave me lots of assurance, both dogs were very good once we applied his process ,l am the one who needs guidance of becoming Zacs leader and protector. Had an issue yesterday so contacted Mark ,got a reply immediately, so very helpful. Hope I can do justice for Zac ,thankyou Mark l am feeling more positive with your guidance.
