Mark dealt with Hyperactivity, Pulling, Other

Mark was super generous with his time, he even called to see us on his way to an appointment to offer some advice without payment prior to us confirming a lesson, we were super impressed and engaged him to help with Sylvie. Her travel anxiety was a real worry for us which threatened to derail our caravanning plans, Mark has provided us with the tools and a plan to overcome her issues, we feel so much better and confident, which is half the battle. thank you Mark we look forward to our next catch up.

- R.J, Bannockburn (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Mark
Sylvie is a Cavoodle 18mths old , lives in Bannockburn near Cromwell and very little access to training or advice. Her issues are those of an anxious but also very passively pushy dog, she Barks , dog reactive to the neighbours dogs, jumps , pulls , very anxious of car travel . I stopped in to give some quick pointers which helped their cause and then on the next trip to the region they booked in a lesson , Huge improvements almost instantly. I'm looking forward to catching up in the near future

Keiko dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Sibling rivalry

Thank you so much Keiko, after just one session Poppy is a much happier, calmer dog, I wouldn't believe the results if I didn't see them for myself! Our training sessions are so much more enjoyable now that we're speaking the same language.

- L.B, Auckland (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Keiko
That's wonderful Lisa 👍 Poppy (18 months old Sighthound cross) was shy and confused. Now she has leaders who understand her better and speak her language!! She is not confused any more 😊 Keep up the good work!

Keiko dealt with Hyperactivity, Pulling, Recall, Sibling rivalry

We were absolutely overjoyed and amazed at the difference in our dog after just a few hours with Keiko. Even a day later it feels like we have a different dog, even though we know there's lots more work to do. If you're on the fence at all about calling BarkBusters please do it. Keiko was very friendly and professional and made the whole process of understanding why our dog acts the way he does very engaging and intuitive.

- K.B, Glendene (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Keiko
Thank you Katharine for taking the time to leave a lovely review, I was very happy how Barney (1.5 year old American Staffy) responded to his first session. I am so glad that you are seeing the results. Keep up the good work! My help is always available for you and Barney 😊

9th October 2023 - Mark Gall

Mark dealt with Barking, Pulling

Mark was incredible! When mark said the first three hour session would make a huge difference, I didn’t really expect to see so much of a change in Kygo, he’s a completely different dog. Mark gave us really simple and practical tasks to do with him, and explained the reasons behind each one. He also fitted him with a Wagg Walker harness. Highly recommend Mark and looking forward to seeing Kygo get even better over the next couple weeks. Money well spent

- J.C, Pegasus (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Mark
Kygo is a Lab x Huntaway 2yrs old . The property looks straight onto the street with see through fencing so Barking and rushing was an issue also attention seeking, a bit dog reactive and pulling a major problem. All the household responded well to training, and applying the Bark Busters methods. A big improvement in the lesson but Kygo will still need a little more focus work all part of teh lifetime support guarantee. Nice job guys. See you in a few weeks.

Keiko dealt with Aggression, Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling

Fabulous first session with Keiko. We’ve learnt so much already and have noticed a difference in our boy’s behaviour after just one session. We look forward to seeing the results after completing his 6weeks of home practice. Keiko made the whole experience enjoyable and provided loads of information and tools for support. We would highly recommend her.

- J.C, Piha (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Keiko
Thank you Jasmin for taking time to leave a review, it is my pleasure to work with you and Ziggy (Shar Pei Mastiff cross 4 years old). I was very happy to see how he responded to his first session. Keep up the good work! Ziggy just needed a clear rules and boundaries 😊

4th October 2023 - Keiko Ruwhiu

Keiko dealt with Aggression, Barking, Chewing, Digging, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Other

We are very happy with our first training session. We have been two other trainers and this one is outstanding in comparison. Keiko is patient, and calm and does not encourage shock therapy or aggression toward our dog - which is what the other two previous trainers recommended. The whole experience from online enquiry, information call back from Keiko, set up of first training, payment, and also aftercare has been amazing and we cannot fault this company at all. Keiko you are outstanding at what you do and we are super grateful for the information you have given us to be able to understand our dog a whole lot better! We know to maintain what was taught we need to consistently adhere to what Keiko has taught us but we are also very grateful that Keiko is just a call/email away if we need to ask questions or re-set. Highly, highly recommended!

- C.F, Auckland (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Keiko
Thank you so much for your positive feedback and thoughts on our positive training system. I was very happy how Phoenix (2 years old Labrador Huntaway cross) responded to his first session. I am so glad that you have already started seeing results. Keep up the good work! My help is always available for you and Phoenix, I am only a phone call/email away 😊

30th September 2023 - Mark Gall

Mark dealt with Aggression, Barking, Jumping up, Pulling

Unbelievable difference so quickly! Really impressed with how effective the training is, we are seeing a significant improvement in the biggest issue which was aggression with other dogs when out walking. I think if we keep up the practice we will soon be able to walk past other dogs without having a reaction. So glad we made the decision to go with Bark Busters

- J.G, Lincoln (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Mark
Two Lincoln standard poodles who were certainly in charge of the visitors invaders and front door answering, Very reactive barking, not aggressive but full on. The biggest issue was aggression with dogs when on lead and walking. Both dogs responded really well and the owners put in place our simple techniques easily. Although called in for only one of the two dogs , the second also had plenty of issues to rectify. Great job guys , looking forward to catching up to see progress.

Thank you Georgina! I was very happy with the way Buddy (Staffy cross 19 months old) responded to his first session. Keep up the good work!

26th September 2023 - Mark Gall

Mark dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Puppy management, Recall

Tandy is a darling little 10-month-old Foxy Jack Russell cross - he’s snuggly, energetic, clever, quick to learn tricks, loves to play and run and is our best little mate. But he was very nippy with mum - constantly mouthing, nibbling and getting rougher with me as he got older. We tried puppy school, teenage puppy school and all of the tricks on the internet and while he learned all the usual commands really quickly, nothing we did stopped our little land shark! I was at my wit's end when I contacted Mark at Bark Busters. I was frustrated, there had been tears and I was exhausted trying to constantly deter Tandy from nipping at me and my clothes - which never really happened to my partner. I was getting pretty stressed out, annoyed and sad that I couldn’t seem to communicate with Tandy and I didn’t want him picking up on that and become scared, anxious or naughty with me. It felt like Tandy didn’t see me as any sort of leader, just a human chew toy! It felt like he was constantly hyped up, needed to settle and reset. Within about two minutes of arriving at our house Mark had sad the magic words and Tandy pretty much instantly started doing things very differently. We are now a week into our Bark Busters life and Tandy is so chilled, so relaxed, so calm and so responsive! We are still a work in progress but I can genuinely say he’s a different little mate from a week ago - barely a tooth has touched my skin! It’s a huge and amazing relief and we are SO thankful to Mark for teaching us how to talk to our puppy properly! We’ve also managed to significantly curb some secondary issues that were starting to emerge - barking outside, refusing to drop things he shouldn’t have. We are all SO much happier - and I SO much less exhausted now I am not constantly on guard. Thank you so much Mark! We would highly, highly recommend anyone else with pup issues (big or small) to try the Bark Busters programme. It’s phenomenal!! Mark is a legend, he was so patient, so helpful and we could not have sorted this without him!

- A.L, Christchurch (Testimonial)

Keiko dealt with Aggression, Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall

Keiko has been absolutely amazing for us and our pup Ralph. We were able to see differences immediately following the first training session and we feel confident that in time, we will see great results. Keiko is very knowledgeable and friendly and she has given us plenty of tips, tools and techniques to improve our dogs behaviour. We feel we are in safe hands and highly recommend her to anyone needing some help with their pup.

Thank you Emma for taking time to leave a review, it is my pleasure to work with you and Ralph (Cocker Spaniel 1.5 year old). I was very happy to see how he responded to his sessions. Keep up the good work! When you need further help, I am only a phone call away 😊
