Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials
23rd February 2019 - Keiko Ruwhiu
Evie's first training session was on Sunday. She is 18 weeks old. It was a great session. We got advice on barking, walking and training. She is already very responsive to the new techniques. Keiko was very helpful and modelled and provided feedback to myself and my husband.

I found Keiko very helpful and supportive and understanding. She was very good to give feedback of behaviors that she didn't like to see. I was grateful of hearing behaviors that were not helpful or just an automatic response. I found her to put my fears at bay.

I am glad you feel at ease. Keep up the good work!

We were extremely impressed with your positive approach, wealth of knowledge and experience to assist us with the tools we need to train Maia.
Our ultimate goal and wish is to be able to have visitors over home without the worry of her being aggressive towards them and to reduce her barking.
We noticed instant results within the first few minutes of the 1st lesson and we were shocked to think she was even capable of adhering to the commands - she really did surprise us and it brought a few tears of relief and assuring us that there is hope.
As a family we are committed to putting in the hard work so that we can enjoy her more as being part of our family of 6 (2 adults and 4 children).
Thank you and we highly recommend your services.

You are more than welcome! I was very happy with the way Maia responded to the lesson. She was confused about the rules and boundaries. Be consistent and keep up the good work!

Miraculous! We are amazed at how quickly our dog Leo has taken to this new form of communication. He is a different dog. We are able to walk him calmly and he listens to us now. It's like he wanted us to be the leader from the start but we just didn't know how to show him he could trust us. We had the first lesson yesterday and I have already recommended to all my coworkers!

I was very happy with the way Leo (2 year old English Cocker Spaniel) responded to the lesson. He was so willing to please you once he knew what you wanted him to do. Keep up the good work!

Keiko is wonderful. This is the second dog she’s helped me with. She’s concise, makes sure I understand everything and I enjoy working with her.
Doing my homework now!!

This is an amazing service, the trainer gave us loads of helpful training methods which have worked wonders with our dog. She was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions when needed. Best dog training service that we could have asked for.

Amazing training session. Keiko provides good practical advice from day 1. Already feeling more comfortable and confident with our beloved dog.

We were very pleased with the training! Keiko was so helpful and knowledgeable, she thoroughly answered all the questions we had. We learnt a lot about how to communicate better with our dog and are looking forward to training him (and ourselves) better!

Keiko came to my home to help and advise me with home training my dog. I found her method has had some amazing results already for which I am very grateful. I realize the importance of daily training is necessary. Jackie is responding very well in the home but I find when we go to the park he wants to get off the leash which of course he can't at this early stage but I will continue with the daily training and I can see improvement each day. My sincere thanks to Keiko
Trainer note from Keiko
Jackie (8 year old Bichon cross) responded to the lesson very well. He barked at visitors and people walking past but he stopped immediately. He is so willing to please you once he knows what you want him to do. We still need to work on recall so off lead is too early to trust him. One step at a time, be patient and keep up the good work!
