Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

Such an amazing first lesson. It’s great to have some tools to work with. Incredible to see the dogs responding so quickly.

Our 3yr much loved pittie cross was growling at visitors and final straw was snipping at a grandchild who was cuddling her. Our choice was to get formal training or to have her put down. While the cost was almost prohibitive, I worked extra hard to get it asap and can honestly say, after having just one lesson with Keiko, I would now pay twice or three times that, to save my dogs life. Right from the first lesson, we had a different dog. She went from disobedient, not listening, no recall, pulling on the lead, barking at everyone who walked past and wanting to kill every cat around, to a shockingly different dog. We are 4 days in now from the first lesson, and she is quiet, comes to her name, rarely barks, was super gentle with newborn baby the day after the lesson (no muzzle), friendly to strangers while on walk, no pulling on lead, stays on her mat inside instead of wandering around, friendly to our cat, but most of all ... she is actually listening to us. We had watched hundreds of dog training videos and tried all sorts of techniques, but was not prepared for how quickly our dog changed, we even waited 5 hours after Keiko left to see if she would put a paw wrong, so we could practice a correction, but... nothing, no bad behaviour. We have accused Keiko of swapping our naughty dog for a good dog in jest, because we are still so shocked at the sudden and it appears, permanent change in her, it has literally saved her life. Thank you Keiko, for gently showing us what we were doing wrong, and giving us a beautiful new dog!

I am very happy to having training with Keiko. Her knowledge is amazing and make me more confident. Looking forward to step up with Keiko.

Keiko is FANTASTIC! From the moment Keiko arrived, the training started. We could no believe the response we had from our dog who is 10 years old. Keiko's explanations make complete sense. Absolutely and utterly well worth every penny spent and highly recommend.

Great to meet Mark and get help with our boy. Am so excited how things went in such a small amount of time - things can only get better from here.

Just wanted to give you a quick update and say a massive thanks! Dug has now slept through the night 3 days in a row. No longer jumping on the couch unless invited. Responding to level 1 (sometimes needs lvl 2) if he looks like he’s going to chase one of the cats. So the cats are becoming more confident around him. The biggy, did some lead training yesterday and took him for a walk this morning. My aim was just to have a walk and use the command and tug if he started pulling. OMG! Best walk ever. Thank you so much. I cannot believe the immediate results and the benefits of your training are strengthening our bond.

Clear communication, felt comfortable asking questions, fantastic knowledge, punctual and reliable. Within the first session our puppy has been taught valuable obedience skills

Very helpful and I feel that I will find Mark good to work with. Covered a lot of ground. Quite tiring, mentally and physically for both of us. Pansy and I will both have to work hard for some time to achieve results. I will need some support, maybe more than others more active. I am thinking about a programme for the next months.

Ghost Staffy and Hank Boxer had issues on different end of the scale, Ghost was high adrenaline and a jumper who loves people and Hank didn't like men and would be scared. Mark explained clearly what was happening with each dog and the best way to teach them. In just a few days we have seen a huge change in both dogs.

Mark was very informative and helpful. We had nearly immediate changes with Marley.

The session was very informative and clear as to what was required from my husband and I with regards to the training of our dog. A definite improvement from the start which can only become better as we progress with training.

The training definitely exceeded our expectations. Still a long way to go with barking at cars and door knocks, however recall to his bed and in general has improved greatly and also walking on the lead. Trying to practise daily which you can see a difference when consistent. Red has had a traumatic past and has triggers towards aggression which we are now able to see before things escalate and with the use of the dog commands he is learning to reset. It was the best thing we did getting help.
