Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

Steve and I both found this extremely helpful. Even though Alfie is a small dog, he has habits that need sorting out. Since Keith was here, we have been using BB methods and Alfie has certainly been a lot calmer. The barking is still an issue, but is getting better every day.

Keiko was wonderful. She set the tone brilliantly and expertly explained how and why the system works. We are so looking forward to Briar becoming the best she can be.

Fantastic awesome. My daughter was highly impressed and was telling her twin what an awesome trainer you were and she's strait up so if you get a compliment from her,then you are definitely good.

My 5 year old Staffy/American Bulldog has been barking at every visitor coming through the door and every person walking past the house. A month ago she finally nipped at a visitor and that's when I knew I needed to do something. I did not know or have the tools on how to deal with this and I knew locking her in her crate each time a visitor came in was not fixing the root problem. Keiko was amazing, on the first day she established within a few minutes what was going on, that Delta was confused and was trying to be pack leader of our family. Keiko gave us the theory and practice needed to break Delta out of her barking frenzy, calm down and meet this new visitor completely calm and happy. It was amazing, a massive weight was lifted of our shoulders and it gave me the confidence to know everything was going to be ok. Keiko is worth every penny and I am so glad I called her in. We and Delta are much happier (and only after the first lesson!) and with the homework and lessons that will follow I'm looking forward to the new positive relationship we can have with Delta.

I am incredibly grateful for the amazing help from Keiko. My dog has issues with excessive barking, jumping, and anxiety at home and also during walks, with Keiko's guidance I noticed results from the very first session. Keiko's patience and professionalism were key. She taught our family effective techniques, and now we can communicate better with our dog and he behaves better. I highly recommend her services without hesitation!

Our session with Mark was so valuable. It’s amazing how changing a few simple things has transformed Bear’s overall behaviour. (If only some of these tips had been taught at puppy classes!) Our biggest challenges with Bear were jumping excitedly all over visitors, territorial barking, lead pulling and chasing aggressively after bikes and motorcycles. The greeting visitors, barking and lead pulling issues have largely been resolved and we have been given tools for dealing with the bike chasing. Mark is very patient and a great teacher. Bear is well on his way to becoming a calmer, better behaved wee companion.

Mark was great and within minutes Dotti responded to him and we had a different dog. He taught us how to work with her and by the next day walking was no longer a nightmare for us. We still have work to do with the separation anxiety, but it's early days.

Keiko has changed my life in 3 days. Our dog Loki was so aggressive with visitors that I was scared to ask people over. With a baby on the way I was starting to become very anxious about how I would handle the situation. On her first visit she taught us so much that we saw a huge change in Loki's behavior without treats or yelling. Her calm, clear, friendly manner and incredible depth of knowledge are exactly what we needed. A huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders now that I have Keiko’s strategies under my belt. I’m looking forward to learning more from her in our next lessons. My entire family is astonished by the results she has achieved in just 3 days since our first lesson. Loki seems so much happier and calmer too.

Well worth it

Mark and Bark Busters have saved the day and my confidence in handling my beautiful sweet 1 year old border collie x Billie Jean. Because she’s grown in a big strong dog I was struggling to walk her on the lead because of her pulling… it was becoming a danger to me and to Billie I was also becoming very frustrated…. There were other issues too that I wanted help with. Marks approach and training method was gentle but firm and I felt she has responded very well especially to the praise when she does what is asked of her … there is a huge turn around with in a couple of days and is no longer pulling on the lead or taking up her posie on the sofa and is listening to me It’s early days and I understand that she will still test me but I now have the tools to be in control instead of the other way around !! Thank you Mark for helping me to understand my beautiful girl.

Fantastic! We have had other trainers for our wee girl and didn't want to have too much hope for a new trainer. Mark has given us hope again! He equipped us with very effective tools to handle our problems and our 2 year old rescue has never been calmer. Can't wait for our second session.

Our 7 yr old Australian/Cairn Terrier is super lovable but can have a mind of his own and is territorial. Mark gave us the tools to communicate what we needed from Max so that he behaved in a better way. It quickly became apparent during the time Mark was with us that Max was keen to listen. Although we know that there is still alot of work to be done with Max, we are confident that both he, as well as us together with the on-going help from Mark, that a positive outcome will be achieved.
