Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

Keiko's methods work! We were really struggling with a very reactive teenage bitch with the final straw having her stood down from daycare. We have much work to do over the next few weeks but already we have made massive progress after just one session. I am no longer anxious and am feeling very confident that we can all start to have a life again with a well behaved dog - thanks Keiko!

Keiko came into my home after a desperate call to her a week earlier. I have used her before when my dogs have been out of line. but this time I have two puppies which was not my best work. My house was chaos, after 3.5 hours she had me trained enough that my household has become manageable. It has been hard work- but I have a way forward (with a lot of rules - which I created) so I could deal with the issues I created. Keiko is straight forward and blunt- I love that. She scares me - I need that. She knows so much more than I could ever hope to know. She tells it like it is. She is brutal - this approach just works. I even tried another assessment with another trainer, before I caved and went to Keiko (to avoid the telling off). Being unimpressed with their ability to, the cost and their plan- I went back to Keiko. She has been truly a blessing. My household is far from perfect. My pocket bully is behaving a million times better, he has stopped nipping My border collie is still hard work, he is finally lying down and 'resting ' Thanks again Keiko, the boys and I are forever grateful.

Keith is friendly and low key. Was a great help with my dog. He responds quickly to email and texts and is willing and helpful to provide guidance and teaching. He is calm with the teaching, not making you feel you’re doing everything wrong but just gently directing to make corrections

Keith has been great! Very happy with his help :-)

The lesson with Mark has been really helpful. Elmo is now a lot more attentive, more relaxed, and is generally eager to please. But I'd have to say that the main issue of barking when the rubbish trucks/posties etc go past definitely needs a lot more work on our part. A work in rogress.

Tiggy is quickly picking up the change of being boss and calling the shots. A lot of common sense, and easy to follow advice and so far the results are impressive.

We highly recommend Mark, Zena is showing promise after only the 1st lesson and he's taught us to communicate in a way she understands. We still have a bit of work to go but we are heading in the right direction already.

Mark has great dog training skills and instructed us well which had an immediate impact with our dogs behaviour. She was not coming when called ,Jumped a lot , generally a good dog but too hyper and barker at our fence lines.

Keith was absolutely amazing. We needed help with integrating our new puppy into the household with another dog and our baby (we are temporarily staying at family's place with their dog and there was a bit of biting going on from our pup) and helped us learn how to correct her behaviour in a more effective way than I have previously learnt in any puppy school with a dog i had many years ago. I absolutely love that his methods aren't food/treat driven and actually work. He explained things so well and thoroughly and answered all questions we had. He has set us up with so much information to be able to refer back to and read when needed and also given so many tips for our big move to another city. His knowledge and expertise have been absolutely invaluable to us. We can't recommend him enough.

Keith at Barkbusters helped me hugely with my 5 yr old dog who oddly started peeing inside at night. Now my dog is great at night with no problems!

We are so happy with the excellent dog training service we received recently. Mark was professional, knowledgeable and very supportive throughout the session with ourselves and our wee dog. He taught us easy to follow training techniques which resulted in noticeable improvements in our dogs’ behaviour and obedience. These techniques were explained and demonstrated clearly to enable us to continue using these at home. Although we still have quite a way to go, we are really grateful for the guidance Mark has provided so far, and we would not hesitate to highly recommend this service to others wanting to improve their dog’s behaviour.

We really enjoyed our training with Mark and he opened our eyes to the mistakes we have been making with Shady. A very strong temperament Blue heeler.
