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!!

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.

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!!!
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.

I am so glad we have gone with Bark Busters. Keith was fantastic with Lilly and made us feel that what we want to work on is achievable. Keith is so knowledgable and able to explain the techniques in such away that the entire family understood and are able to put in place
We have already seen a positive improvement in Lilly and are looking forward to our next session with Keith
Trainer note from Keith
Thank you. Staffys can be a handful with their athleticism, exuberance, and enthusiasm! I'm glad you all feel more confident and capable. Understanding the behaviours and why things work helps everyone to be consistent and persistent. I'm looking forward to seeing your progress.

Well worth it. Alfie is a different dog and I'm not so stressed out. Things just got a lot easier with the different mindset and new ways of doing things.
Trainer note from Keith
Thanks Trish. Pomeranians are interesting dogs and coming out of the environment he was in has added a bit extra to the mix. He's still very young and has a lot to learn but you'll get him there with consistent and persistent application of our methods. I'm very happy to have reduced your stress, we need less stress in our lives!

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.

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. ❤️🐾
Trainer note from Keith
Thanks Michelle. It goes to show that even a 13-year-old dog can learn new tricks! It's a pleasure to bring some peace to you both. You've done well, as has Pax.

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.
Trainer note from Keith
Thanks Sandra. A rescued female dog into an existing male dog environment has it's own challenges. You all did really well on the day and the dogs showed positive reactions. They will push back at times, consistency and persistence is key. They, and you, all showed you can do it. I look forward to the progress reports and working with you further as per our Life of the Dog Support Guarantee.

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.

Keith dealt with Barking, Chewing, Jumping up, Pulling, Puppy management
Keith explained everything clearly and in a way that my children could understand as well as me. My puppy can be very stubborn but even after only a few days I am seeing improvements in his behaviour, he is now chosing to rest in his crate most of the time instead of on the furniture, he is barking and jumping less, walks are a work in progress but I am getting longer spells where he walks beside me without pulling or trying to chase cars.
Trainer note from Keith
Thanks Carolyn. It's amazing what a bit of leadership does, particularly for a puppy. He's a big boy already so getting that walking under control is essential. You're making great progress. Well done, both of you! I'm looking for to the next session as per our Life of the Dog Support Guarantee.

Keith is highly personable, reassuring and relatable. The methods and techniques he has shared are working and he explains the how and why of "talking dog". I like the idea of the ongoing support for any behavioural issues that might crop up later. Would recommend as it has given me peace of mind I was looking for in terms of nurturing good behaviour and curbing undesirable behaviour.
Trainer note from Keith
Thanks Cam. It's great to start early and get you all heading in the right direction. He's a gorgeous Golden Retriever puppy and finding his way in his home and the world. Your guidance will help him immensely to be a happy dog, and you all to be a happy family. I'm pleased to be helping. Looking forward to seeing his progress.
