Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

Keiko is a wonderful and very knowledgeable trainer, who really understood our dog's needs. We appreciated her positive approach, and she had some great advice for us regarding dogs behaviour Keiko made everything seem like common sense and she didn't train our dog...she trained us!

Evie's first training session was on Sunday. She is 18 weeks old. It was a great session. We got advice on barking, walking and training. She is already very responsive to the new techniques. Keiko was very helpful and modelled and provided feedback to myself and my husband.

I found Keiko very helpful and supportive and understanding. She was very good to give feedback of behaviors that she didn't like to see. I was grateful of hearing behaviors that were not helpful or just an automatic response. I found her to put my fears at bay.

Kia ora Keiko We were extremely impressed with your positive approach, wealth of knowledge and experience to assist us with the tools we need to train Maia. Our ultimate goal and wish is to be able to have visitors over home without the worry of her being aggressive towards them and to reduce her barking. We noticed instant results within the first few minutes of the 1st lesson and we were shocked to think she was even capable of adhering to the commands - she really did surprise us and it brought a few tears of relief and assuring us that there is hope. As a family we are committed to putting in the hard work so that we can enjoy her more as being part of our family of 6 (2 adults and 4 children). Thank you and we highly recommend your services.

Max had his first training last Saturday. During the training he responded to the trainer very well. I am so happy about Keiko's training skills. She taught us very easy but effective methods to train Max. If we follow her guidelines, we can expect a very obedient dog in future. We have to do our homework to achieve this target too.

Miraculous! We are amazed at how quickly our dog Leo has taken to this new form of communication. He is a different dog. We are able to walk him calmly and he listens to us now. It's like he wanted us to be the leader from the start but we just didn't know how to show him he could trust us. We had the first lesson yesterday and I have already recommended to all my coworkers!

Keiko is wonderful. This is the second dog she’s helped me with. She’s concise, makes sure I understand everything and I enjoy working with her. Doing my homework now!!

I was amazed to see how Spike responded to the trainer’s voice from the moment she walked through the front door. The collar she gave me was an instant success, for some reason my dog prefers it to the harness and tries to get it on himself. He walks much better with the Bark Busters collar. I couldn’t believe how well my dog responded to the Bark Busters way and how focused he was on the trainer for three hours.

This is an amazing service, the trainer gave us loads of helpful training methods which have worked wonders with our dog. She was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions when needed. Best dog training service that we could have asked for.

Keiko spent 3 hrs at our home with Peanuts (large border terrier x, rescue dog). Keiko gave a very impressive no nonsense verbal and physical demonstration of what to expect from our dog and how to achieve it. At the end of the session we had gained the confidence we needed on how to manage and train our dog. This was so effective that Peanuts became a different dog on her future walks and the stress of unacceptable behaviour was removed from us by knowing what to do and knowing Peanuts would respond. We were provided with notes for daily training and a correct lead. This has all resulted in a happy dog and owner.

I found the training really easy to use and was amazed at how quickly Lucy responded. I think it is a good program and feel comfortable using it. I have shown my husband how to use it and we will continue with the daily training.

We had an extremely positive first session with Keiko. Murphy responding well to the adjustments Keiko showed us and we're looking forward to reinforcing these in the coming weeks.
