Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

It was awesome. i didn't believe that there could be such a rapid improvement. i feel more confident now about fixing Barney's anxiety. Mark's manner was positive and affirming for both me and the dog.

My husband, daughter and I got Brian from the Humane Society in December last year. There were thoughts he had been chained and used to fight. We initially got some training which helped to sort a few things out but were still concerned about his aggression towards other dogs (he had attacked a puppy a few months back which left us very scared to take him in any close proximity to other dogs) I found Keiko on the website and decided to see if she could assist with this behaviour. Keiko's first lesson was extremely valuable - she is very knowledgeable and what she relayed to us made absolute sense. After the first visit, we felt elated as we can already see a big change in Brian's behaviour and have hope for the future. I cannot wait to see how we can assist him to change this behaviour with Keiko's help. Thanks so much Keiko. Regards Chantal Stewart and Tayo

Keiko was amazing. She was methodical and calm and helped us to understand what we were doing wrong. Her training methods were simple and so effective. Our dogs have almost stopped their barking and are totally calm and obedient. They are so much fun and we are enjoying them without the stress of being out of control. Thank you Keiko.

I was really amazed by how fast Nova started responding to the training. By the end of the 1st session she had improved 90%. It is now almost a week after our first session and she is doing unbelievably great. Some of our biggest problem areas are already a thing of the past: 1: Jumping up and scratching the kids' faces. 2: Pulling uncontrollably on the lead. 3: Barking at everything that moves outside the yard. 4: Speeding out the second a door or gate opens (she now waits behind me) 5: Digging holes in the grass. Keiko really knows what she's talking about. I would (and have) recommend her to anyone!

What a great experience. Keiko has a great way in explaining and showing you the signs to look for in understanding and speaking 'dog'. Very early on some simple techniques and changes in what I was doing showed an instant result. It definitely is about training the owner and I have to say Keiko is wonderful at this. With the resources left for me to follow and the next catch-up training session to happen soon, I am already feeling a lot more confident and my George is a lot happier.

Mark was great, very informative, very patient, very clear and had an immediate impact on our dogs. We saw immediate results and Mark left use with great knowledge and tools, we learnt to speak dog and to finally have clear communications. He help us understand our puppies and to handle their personalities effectively. We are very grateful for his visit and teachings.

Our Maltese has always had problems listening to our instructions. We were very pleased with Keiko's extensive preparation and clear communication to ensure we can take steps to alleviate this issue. With just one lesson (and making sure that we follow our homework!) we think that there is already an improvement in Wenji's demeanour and interactions with us. Thank you very much, Keiko we look forward to continuing to work with you :)

Keiko arrived started with an explanation of the training methods we would use. Nothing was rushed and the training session went well and I am confident that with Keiko's help the problems will be resolved. Some behaviours are already changing and it has only been one day. I will be doing my part to make this work. I was impressed.

Keiko was very good in providing information regarding training for Roxy. Roxy seemed to respond well to the correction and other commands.

We were very impressed with the immediate changes in the behaivour of our dogs, particularly Hazel. Honestly, she was a different dog by the end of the lesson!

We had no idea how to train Louie, we were becoming frustrated and so was he. Mark was wonderful, he explained how Louie was interpreting our actions and the reasons for his behaviour. Then he taught us how to correct everything we needed to and get on the right track to a well behaved dog. It is not an overnight fix and we need to work at it but we started seeing results from day one. We are happier and so is Louie.

Great session with Mark. Really love that the training is done at our home and unlike other unsuccessful trainers we've used it isn't based on extreme fear or food. In a week we have made some great progress with walking and door bell running. Really appreciate the knowledge as our Greyhounds are ex-racing but Mark knew how to handle them, so thanks. Highly recommend.
