Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials
3rd October 2018 - Keiko Ruwhiu
What a great experience. Keiko has a great way in explaining and showing you the signs to look for in understanding and speaking 'dog'. Very early on some simple techniques and changes in what I was doing showed an instant result.
It definitely is about training the owner and I have to say Keiko is wonderful at this.
With the resources left for me to follow and the next catch-up training session to happen soon, I am already feeling a lot more confident and my George is a lot happier.
Trainer note from Keiko
I was very happy with the way George (7 month old French Bulldog) responded to the lesson. It was clear that he was a little confused about the rules and boundaries. Keep up the good work and looking forward to catching up soon :)

Our Maltese has always had problems listening to our instructions. We were very pleased with Keiko's extensive preparation and clear communication to ensure we can take steps to alleviate this issue. With just one lesson (and making sure that we follow our homework!) we think that there is already an improvement in Wenji's demeanour and interactions with us. Thank you very much, Keiko we look forward to continuing to work with you :)
Trainer note from Keiko
Wenji (3 year old Maltese) responded to the first lesson very well. She was confused about the structure of her pack. Keep up the good work!

Keiko arrived started with an explanation of the training methods we would use.
Nothing was rushed and the training session went well and I am confident that with Keiko's help the problems will be resolved. Some behaviours are already changing and it has only been one day. I will be doing my part to make this work. I was impressed.

Keiko was very good in providing information regarding training for Roxy. Roxy seemed to respond well to the correction and other commands.

Keiko was a wonderful trainer. We have 2 very boisterous Staffy puppies - one is deaf. She demonstrated how to easily manage them with effective behavioural correction techniques. We now have a plan and some hope.
Trainer note from Keiko
I was very pleased with the way both Fez and Subi (6 month old Staffies) responded to the lesson. They were just confused about who made the rules. Great dogs :) Keep up the good work!!

Thorough, thoughtful, personalised. I really appreciated Keiko's approach, gentle but firm. She worked with us and our dog towards our own goals and was very knowledgeable; able to answer all my questions in full. I never expected to make so much progress in one day! My Chihuahua puppy was always tugging at the lead on walks but after 5mins practice in the driveway with Keiko guiding us, he was walking perfectly to heel. We also had quick results on door manners and we have a clear plan on what to do each day to continue and develop this good behaviour. I am very happy with Keiko's process and the results.

We were really impressed by Keiko. We saw a different side of our dog within minutes, and today (less than 24 hours later), he is behaving much better already.
Trainer note from Keiko
Great to hear Bernie (2 year old Collie cross) is doing well! He just needed clear rules and boundaries. Keep up the good work!

We have had very good training session and guidance from Keiko. She makes it easy to train a dog and gives us good strategies and practical tips on how to walk our dog.
She follows up on training visits and willing to accommodate to suit our schedules.
Keiko has a good over knowledge about dogs, and their behaviour patterns and training.

Keiko was very good. We are happy to finally communicate effectively with our dog.
Trainer note from Keiko
Bella (8 months old Husky cross) responded to the lesson very well. She was just confused. But not any more. Bella is happier now that she understands you and your family better. Keep up the good work :)

This has been great - we have really noticed such a difference in the behavior of both our dogs. It's really important to practice the techniques you learn with your dogs regularly to get the full benefit but when you do it really works.
Trainer note from Keiko
Jazz (2 year old German Spitz) and Kiki (18 month old Staffy cross) came a long way. It is the result of all your work and your commitment to helping them behave better. Keep up the great work!!

It was quite a lot to learn, but the theories made sense and our dog responded incredibly quickly. They also have a lifetime support guarantee so if we continue to have difficulty/new issues pop up etc. we will always be able to nip it in the bud. We have asked the trainer, Keiko, questions already even though our training session was yesterday and she responded promptly and with a lot of detail. It really is true that it's more about training the humans than the dogs. Thank you for training us and committing to continue to train us!
