Mark dealt with Aggression, Barking, Jumping up, Pulling

Went beyond my expectations. Mark was wonderful. Extremely competent and gave clear instructions for us as owners of Jesse, to follow. Already after one session, Jesse is much quieter and more obedient. Worked like magic.

- S.M, Christchurch (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Mark
Jesse is a Labrador x Border Collie , clever and little manipulating. Runs the household a bit. His biggest issue is a dog in the neighbourhood who attacked him when he was young now the tide has turned and Jesse is full on when they see each other. 1st session was to develop the focus skills and all responded well to the speakdog training. A little more to go and Jesse will be awesome. Great work guys , chat soon.

Keiko dealt with Aggression, Barking, Other

By showing us how to communicate with Rosie and interpret her body language Keiko put us on the same page. Hands down contacting Bark Busters was the best call I've made in my life, I wish I'd done so sooner. Rosie has always been aggressive toward other people, we couldn't take her anywhere, friends stopped coming over, if only she could be with others as she is with us. Although we were a little apprehensive as to how it would work out, Keiko kept everything simple and involved the whole family. Rosie responded amazingly well, I wouldn't ever have dreamed we'd be able to have a visitor over without putting Rosie in her kennel or crate whilst barking the house down. Within our first session Rosie was able to accept Keiko as our visitor and stop barking, she even stopped barking at the neighbours. We can already see Rosie's behaviour changing and are committed to working with her, it's so rewarding. Thank you Keiko.

Keiko dealt with Jumping up, Pulling, Puppy management, Recall, Toileting

Hi Keiko, I want to express my gratitude for all your fantastic work with Jasper. As a first-time dog owner, I was overwhelmed and unsure of how to raise and train him properly, but with your guidance and expertise, I now feel confident in my abilities. The overnight behaviour change in Jasper was simply remarkable. Your training methods were effective and gentle, and I could see their positive impact on his behaviour almost immediately. I was amazed at how quickly Jasper responded to your training techniques. I also appreciate the information you provided to help me better understand Jasper's behaviour. You took the time to explain the reasoning behind each training method, and you gave me helpful tips and tricks for reinforcing positive behaviours. Thank you again for all that you have done. You have made a world of difference to us. I highly recommend your services to anyone needing a skilled and compassionate dog trainer.

Mark dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Pulling

Had our first session with Mark. We were really happy with how it went and are working on the areas we had time to cover. Looking forward to continuing the journey with Mark by our side.

- H.W, Blenheim (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Mark
Ardi is a Hungarian Vizsla and at 1.7 yrs old ,a full on in tact male teen dog. A slightly nervous dog he was barking at lots and recall and pulling were major issues. Both the owners and Ardi responded well and the owners apply what we had time to put very well. Future lessons will see further improvements as he is a pushy boy who's been let lead . Great work guys.

23rd March 2023 - Mark Gall

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

Thank you Mark. Although we’re still a work in progress, your knowledge and help with Bear has been great. In only a few days we have some control inside already.

- P.S, Renwick (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Mark
Little Bear is a huge attitude 1yr old Jack Russell. Aggression when being put in his kennel and food resource guarading are the main problems but barking ,jumping ,pulling and recall are too. In charge of most of the house. He showed good improvement on the day and the owners applied the skills well but is definately a work in progress. Time and consistency will work .Small steps for mankind , big leaps towards an amiable dog. Great job guys and Bear.

Absolutely amazing session, great basic information and instructions. Feel confident working through the tasks each day. Literally saw results in the training session which have carried on since.

Nimbus is a GSD x Husky x Collie. Very active and far too clever. Major issue was Barking pulling and dog aggression. Great work buy the owners ,taking onboard a new way of communicating with Nimbus who showed he can do the things asked. Nice job guys. Chat soon with an update.

22nd March 2023 - Mark Gall

Mark dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall

An excellent investment. Charlie changed and is now quieter and able to be controlled much easier. She walks well, trotting along at my left heel instead of pulling at the lead.

- K.N, Blenheim (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Mark
Hi Kay. Great work you've achieved in a short time. Certainly little Charlie was in charge but also very anxious of the responsibility and the dog fear will be a work in progress. Awesome shes responding as the Shihtzu's can be quite head strong. Remember cool and calm in control. Any problems or questions just call me.

19th March 2023 - Keiko Ruwhiu

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

I immediately started seeing change with my dog Nam’s with this training method and I now have a better understanding about dogs. I know with time and consistency I will see results. I highly recommend Bark Busters and training with Keiko. Keiko is very professional and straightforward. One thing I like most of all is this training method is safe and simple yet so very effective.

- M.L, Auckland (Testimonial)

16th March 2023 - Mark Gall

Mark dealt with Barking, Chewing, Digging, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Recall, Separation anxiety

Mark was fantastic with his demonstrations. We were amazed that we had such control over the Puppas within minutes of first meeting them. The exercises were all simple and very logical but it was great that Mark provided rationale behind each as well as it's easier to do something different if we know the reasons why it works. Our puppas have changed a lot already. We have a little way to go with some things but there is definitely a huge change ready

- S.P, Avondale, Christchurch (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Mark
Both dogs were extremely excitable and way over the top with barking , the reason for their enquiry to start with. Both dogs and owners responded well and improvements were obvious on the first lesson . Well done mums and we'll set up another checkup and revisit soon.

15th March 2023 - Keiko Ruwhiu

Keiko dealt with Hyperactivity, Puppy management, Other

When I got a new puppy, I contacted Keiko, who I had used with my older two dogs a few years ago. She was again absolutely brilliant, Zephyr (the puppy) responded well to her training. But she picked up a potential hearing problem - it turned out Zephyr was born without a right ear drum, so definitely struggled to hear. Keiko worked with me on strategies to deal with a deaf dog, how to use body language rather than words, so he can better understand what I want from him. She also assisted with leash training, Zephyr is a 30 kg boofhead Blue American Staff, so powerful!! After half an hour, he was walking much better on a leash and I had much better control. Keiko has been responsive to all my questions and explains things in a way even I can get. She is patient with people (and amazing with dogs too) which I need because my hand eye co-ordination is not the best, sometimes neither is my listening. I couldn't recommend Bark Busters more and am very pleased that Keiko could make time to help with little Zephyr. I also love that I know Keiko is a phone call away for the next time I have problems with my dogs. Thanks Keiko (and Bark Busters). love Zephyr, Zombie and Duke

Mark dealt with Aggression, Barking, Chewing, Pulling, Recall

Thank you Mark for your skill and understanding ,we thought Stanley was a good dog but what we have now is an awesome dog ,Stanley is now so much more relaxed and so are we. Well worth the investment

- L.A, Parklands Christchurch (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Mark
Stanley was a dog who hadn't had any previous training by previous owners , lovely temperament but no educational skills. Didn't know anything really. He was boisterous and hard to refocus or walk . He responded well as did the owners and great progress in a short time. Well done Stanleys clan. I look forward to our revisit catch up soon
