Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

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.

Mark Gall was amazing and he had Us & Bella doing things that she wouldn't do before and now she walks beside me and a lot more less reactive to door knocks , unknown visitors . I would highly recommend him and a big thank you Mark for your help with Bella.

From the moment Keiko stepped into our home, her professionalism and passion for what she does were evident. She dedicated time to observe the behavior of our 2-year-old Pomeranian, Biscuit, understanding her unique personality, and tailored her approach to address our specific concerns. Her deep knowledge and expertise in canine behavior were truly impressive. During our first session, Keiko provided clear instructions and practical techniques that were easy to follow. What amazed us the most was witnessing the immediate positive response from Biscuit. The transformation in her behavior was remarkable. Additionally, Keiko shared valuable insights on understanding Biscuit's cues, creating a stronger bond between us. She not only addressed the issues at hand but also empowered us with the knowledge to continue the training on our own. We can't thank Keiko enough for her dedication, patience, and expertise. Her positive and encouraging demeanor made the entire training experience enjoyable and effective. My only regret was not contacting her sooner!

I found the training very good with Mark, I would rate it 4 out of 5 , only because it was a lot to take in in 3 hours , Oakley would not get into my car previously but has done so successfully each day since the lesson, lead work is still a work in progress needing some more work but our second session will sort that. Mark was definitely a great help.

Bandit is nearly 3yrs old and likes to bark at any noise he hears from the house, plus pulls when walking and has intermittent obedience. Keiko showed us some simple methods and approaches and we are already seeing positive results within a few days, and without the need for treats! More work to be done, but very happy with the progress so far, and the presentation and extra knowledge we now have means we can get more enjoyment from our relationship with Bandit.

We are thrilled that we now have a settled and content dog who no longer regards herself as ‘in charge’ of the household. We highly recommend the training programme. It’s a life saver! Lucy is no longer barking at everything or attacking her brother or jumping up on us when we get home. It’s such a relief.

Willow has shown a lot of progress in just a few days of constant training an sticking to what was taught to us on Wednesday. Really impressed with the progress so far

Keiko provided amazing support and guidance for us with for our adolescent puppy and helped us prepare safely for the arrival of a new baby in the house with a very large dog. Her approach was clear, sensible and supportive and she ensured we understood why we needed to do each part of the approach. We really liked that the approach with the dog was assertive but also gentle, with clear guidance for the dog and lots of positive feedback rather than punishment. This has helped us to develop really positive relationships and trust with the dog. We were at a point where we were considering options, including rehoming, but Keiko worked her magic and we all love our relationship with our lovely dog now and he has settled in beautifully with the new baby. Many, many thanks to Keiko for training us so well!!

Keiko was simply amazing and assertive with us educating on us so much and helping us understand our little boy. As soon as she walked into our gate our puppy responded to her immediately. Within our first session we were able to adjust his habits almost straight away. Very excited to see the progress we can continue to make together!

Initial session was a success and we are already seeing changes. She appreciates the more rigorous discipline. She is more relaxed and spends more time on her mat. She is getting better with visitors. Walking to heel is better when walking briskly but she still pulls when walking slowly. Recall still needs to improve.

Bobby has thought he is the leader of our pack after his human father passed away earlier this year. Mark came to our home and explained why Bobby is reacting this way and has given me some great skills to reestablish that I'm the pack leader with Bobby. It only took a couple of times and Bobby was great. Friends and Family have all noted what a different dog he is behavioral wise and not barking at couriers etc. My chooks are very grateful now too with no surprises from Bobby rushing at them, walking around the park without being pulled along, it is so pleasant to have my buddy walk beside or behind me now. Mark was so great with both of us, and being able to be trained at home in our own surrounds familiar to Bobby.
