Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

Our 2 year old Spaniel, Leo had recently started growling at children and jumping up on them as well as being extremely hyper when guests came over, barking at neighbours and pulling on the leash. Keiko was incredible right from the get go. She clearly explained to us that Leo lacked respect and thought he was top of the pecking order in our household. Once she explained his behaviours to us, and all the little things we didn’t realise we were doing to promote these behaviours, we had a big break through moment. Leo has responded incredibly well to the training so far and we can’t wait to get Keiko back to help us continue the training.

We had a wonderful first training session with Keiko. I was very pleasantly surprised to see how quickly Tilly responded to her! Literally changing her behaviour within 10 minutes. I know we still have a way to go, but I have been well equipped with information and training to make it happen! I feel totally supported and confident in moving ahead with all our goals!

Mind blowing at the results, teaching dog behaviour and language to deal with any issues.

I was surprised how quickly our dogs responded to the new techniques and her behaviour started to change straight away.

Fantastic. We’ve noticed a marked difference in 3 days. It’s Applied behavioural Analysis, and wonderful to get it explained simply and applied to dogs. Something that actually works. What a waste of money it would have been if I’d gone with a trainer instead of a proper behaviourist like Keiko.

I was rather surprised to find my understanding of dog training had missed the mark so crucially.

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.

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!!

Keiko was very knowledgable and clear in her communication. She introduced and explained the technique of training Bark Busters uses in detail and showed us in practice how it was effective. I am already starting to see improvements in my dogs behaviour 2 weeks later.

I thought my first lesson was helpful and informative I believe with consistency and patience, I will get the results I want.

Very easy to get hold of and organise a day for Keiko to come and see us. Explained everything really well, especially the why, which is so important.
