Keith dealt with Barking, Chewing, Digging, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall

We really enjoyed the training, we now understand how leadership is the most important factor. We are really happy how quickly Yoto's behavior has changed. Keith did a great job to explain the training exercises. I definitely recommend Bark Busters if you are having issues with your dog.

- S.K, Porirua (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Keith
Thank you. It's great to hear how quickly he's changed. As an anxious dog he'll be happier already. He's a big strong Labrador so getting the walking right is important along with the stuff inside. He'll be enjoying his walks more, and you will be enjoying them more as well. I'm looking forward to seeing his progress. Good job!

Keith was amazing. Dogs were so calm with him and he trained us well! In one week the difference in our puppies is amazing

- M.J, Lower hutt (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Keith
Thank you. Mini Schnauzers can have a bit of attitude, 2 Mini Schnauzers is a lot of attitude! And they're just puppies who aren't even teens so there is more to come! You and they responded really well in the session and it's great to hear they are responding well to your ongoing training. This is setting them up to be the dogs you want them to be. I'm looking forward to seeing more.

Keith is a great communicator. His knowledge, reassurance and support made me at feel at ease and confident in my ability to train my dog. The results are amazing.

Keith dealt with Barking, Separation anxiety

We had a really great and meaningful first session with Keith, he was able to develop our learnings and knowledge on our dogs behaviour, but also help us implement trainings and techniques to correct behaviours! I would recommend Keith to any friends or family who are looking to support with their dogs

- M.B, Upper Hutt (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Keith
Thank you very much for your feedback. You all responded well in the session and I'm really pleased to hear there's been the improvements you need, after the other things you tried hadn't worked. Calmer and happier dogs, and less stress on the owners. Win, win!

2nd September 2025 - Keith Mockett

Keith dealt with Aggression, Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Separation anxiety

I found the initial lesson long but looking back probably needed to be. Since Saturday we have put what we learned into practice and have noticed a huge improvement in behaviour immediately. Today was a big test when meeting another dog in close proximity and what we were taught helped incredibly and kept everyone safe. I cannot recommend this method highly enough it’s simple in it’s deliverance and with ongoing support doesn’t leave you feeling lost if you slip up.

- H.S, Wellington (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Keith
Thank you for the feedback. Yes, the first session can be long. There are a number of things to do in your daily interactions with your dog, plus the exercises, which can make for a long session. It all comes together in those big moments and I'm really pleased to hear you've had that early test and success. Great job! She'll be happier to, now that you're showing leadership. No need for her to be worried about these things, that's your job! And, yes, we are there with our Life of the Dog Support Guarantee to provide ongoing support.

27th July 2025 - Keith Mockett

Keith dealt with Puppy management

So far so good still have a lot to learn together, it’s more harder to teach humans to be on the same page

- L.H, Upper Hutt (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Keith
Thank you for the positive responses to the questions regarding the content and delivery of the lesson. Still a way to go and 'yes', it is hard sometimes to get everyone on the same page, at the same time. It's not an easy thing dealing with a reactive dog and there'll be good days and challenging days. Our Life of the Dog Support Guarantee helps to get you there, and keep you there, and get you back there!

Keith dealt with Aggression, Barking, Chewing, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Recall, Separation anxiety, Toileting

Keith is amazing. Thanks to him, in a few hours we have a different 2-year old FrenchieX and we are trained to speak her language and correct her behaviour. I can't speak highly enough of Keith's training. He's equipped us with everything we need.

- V.H, Maupuia (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Keith
Thank you. It is so rewarding to have feedback like this and to know the positive impact of our training on all your lives. Now you can better enjoy your dog. Thanks. Of course, with your Life of the Dog Support Guarantee I'm here to support you if she pushes back or gets a bit stubborn!

14th July 2025 - Keith Mockett

Keith dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall

We have a hyper enthusiastic, people loving dog, who enjoys interacting with humans - whether they like it or not! Keith has taught us many ways to calm her enthusiasm and leave her in no doubt she is a dog and quickly becoming a well behaved one. Holly is so much calmer. Listens to instructions, loves her crate, walks quietly alongside, learning that jumping is not welcome. Knows about distance recall. Has stopped jumping all over people and furniture. Holly no longer barks at everything that passes our front window. We are very satisfied with the pleasant, highly skilled, dog behaviour therapist Keith. As owners we are a work in progress! Teresa & Peter

- T.K, Paraparaumu (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Keith
Thank you! Toy Poodles can be excitable and noisy but she's shown an excellent response to your training and now she's so much calmer. And the household can be calmer and quieter as well. Good job everyone!

3rd June 2025 - Keith Mockett

Keith dealt with Aggression, Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Separation anxiety, Sibling rivalry

OMG we feel like this is life changing for all of us. We were on the brink of putting our lovely dog down due to his aggressive outbursts and after learning these farily simple strategies we have so much hope for a future with our dog. We accept he might regress, but we know to keep working on things. And I reflect on the behaviour of friends dogs, and while they might not get agressive they certainly show signs that could lead that way and their behaviour could so easily be corrected to solve the stress their owners are having. Life changing!!

- D.C, Wellington (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Keith
Thank you so much for this feedback. To help him to have another chance and for you to feel so positive is extremely rewarding. Yes, there will be up and downs, but he's shown he can do this and you know you can, so the we're off to a great start. I'm looking forward to your progress and helping when required as per our Life of the Dog Support Guarantee. Thank you.

1st June 2025 - Keith Mockett

Keith dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Pulling

Very helpful to get started on some of our dogs issues around barking. Will need a further session to get some more direction while we are out on a walk. Looking forward to seeing Keith again.

- A.C, Wellington (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Keith
Thank you. As per our Life of the Dog Support Guarantee we'll have another session soon. Sometimes it's the second session where things click for owners and/or dogs. I want you all to succeed so I'm more than happy to see you again and take the training to the next level. See you soon!

Keith dealt with Barking, Pulling, Recall, Separation anxiety

Keith was a fantastic tutor, gave us lots of practical ideas, Echo is picking up things easily.

- T.O, Waikanae (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Keith
Thank you, I appreciate this feedback. I'm sure the clarity of the communications is helping Echo to pick things up and your leadership helps make it easy for Echo as well. Looking forward to more progress reports.

Keith dealt with Aggression, Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Recall, Separation anxiety

Keith was amazing! What he said really clicked straight away. Frankie would wake me up constantly through the night with her barking but it took one night of training for that to stop. Now I get a proper sleep and so does Frankie!!!

- P.R, Raumati South (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Keith
Thank you! I try to explain the 'why' as well as the 'how' and your feedback is much appreciated. It's amazing what clear communication and leadership can do for a dog, and the human-dog relationship! Even Pomeranians can get it. Great job.
