Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

Fantastic. We’ve noticed a marked difference in 3 days. It’s Applied behavioural Analysis, and wonderful to get it explained simply and applied to dogs. Something that actually works. What a waste of money it would have been if I’d gone with a trainer instead of a proper behaviourist like Keiko.

Very helpful to get started on some of our dogs issues around barking. Will need a further session to get some more direction while we are out on a walk. Looking forward to seeing Keith again.

Mark was amazing ,we saw a change in our dogs behaviour with in the first hour. We can now cook in the kitchen without tripping over dogs, and food staying on the bench . Walking the dogs has become so much better. Indy is less stressed when cars passing her while out walking.

Keith was a fantastic tutor, gave us lots of practical ideas, Echo is picking up things easily.

We had Mark in to help us with our 12 week old dachshund puppy, Poppy. Having never trained a dog we didn’t know where to start. Mark put us at ease straight away. He had a really lovely manner with Poppy, and our kids. The training was explained really thoroughly. Whilst different to what we’d previously been told by family etc, this new form of training makes so much sense and is very logical to follow. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mark to anyone. Looking forward to putting it all to practice. Poppy seems to respond beautifully.

Mark was great, noticed a difference straight away. Has stopped pulling on the lead and work in progress to stop her jumping up.

I was rather surprised to find my understanding of dog training had missed the mark so crucially.

Stressed, skeptical but desperate, we contacted Mark having read his reviews on Facebook. We have two English Pointers, Poppy and Lilly and a Bullmastiff Sharpei cross all with different issues. Two weeks out from moving from a 10 acre block to 500m by the beach house, I finally bit the bullet and contacted Mark. Dogs have run free off lead for a couple of years and have parents with different handling styles. Husband, typical Kiwi, she'll be alright and me tearing my hair out because of the barking at anything. Our first session was yesterday. Within a couple of hours we saw amazing results. Training with Poppy and Sully I managed to walk both dogs on lead and off lead! This morning I was sure I would not remember anything. No worries though, feeding time was a breeze. I opened the door, gave one correction and all three dogs sat and let me go out first. I even had to call them to come out I don't trust reviews, I didn't believe we would ever be able to walk the dogs without being pulled along. However, I have today, on my own whilst Hubby was at work managed a short 300m walk with all three dogs OFF LEAD to heel. They would normally just run off and ignore me. This will make a huge difference to our life near the beach. Thank you Mark for training us how to communicate with our dogs 🐕 😀

Keith was amazing! What he said really clicked straight away. Frankie would wake me up constantly through the night with her barking but it took one night of training for that to stop. Now I get a proper sleep and so does Frankie!!!

We were a wee bit skeptical that Mark could give us the tools to have Ed behaving as a member of our family rather that a issue. After our first Ed was a changed dog. We learnt a lot of valuable information about how to connect with Ed in a way he understands. We still have a way to go but all signs are good that the new skills we have are going to give us an awesome dog for many years. Highly recommend Mark's service.

A great morning. Knowledgeable beyond belief. It was a very informative lesson and 3 days in and im seeing results and a demeaned change already. Can’t wait for follow up lessons.

Mark came to our home to support us with our 14 month old Rottweiler Mavericks. We were struggling with quite a few behaviours with Mav particularly around his big emotions to other dogs, lead pulling and attention seeking. Mark thoroughly talked us through the process, acknowledged our concerns and worked with us in an encouraging supportive way to help address these concerns and correct and refocus the behaviours. By the end of the session we felt as though we had so much more understanding of how to work alongside Mavericks and by the end of the session we had results. I truely could not recommend Mark enough he is highly knowledgeable and we feel as though we have gained so much confidence back and a big weight has lifted from our shoulders. Thank you so much Mark!
