Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

9th August 2018 - Keiko Ruwhiu

It was quite a lot to learn, but the theories made sense and our dog responded incredibly quickly. They also have a lifetime support guarantee so if we continue to have difficulty/new issues pop up etc. we will always be able to nip it in the bud. We have asked the trainer, Keiko, questions already even though our training session was yesterday and she responded promptly and with a lot of detail. It really is true that it's more about training the humans than the dogs. Thank you for training us and committing to continue to train us!

I was very happy with the way Cali responded to the first lesson. She surprised her mum and dad how quickly she responded. Great job!! Our help is always available whenever you need :)

Mark has helped us to better understand our dog Tyson's dominant behaviors. He was able to start us off with techniques to correct his behavior so we can have a more relaxed and obedient dog . He let us know that it would be baby steps with Tyson and we have the reassurance of ongoing support . Mark was professional and was able to relay a basic training programme that we are confident to follow. Already Tyson is becoming a lot more settled thanks Mark

- J.N, Bromley, Canterbury (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Mark
Tyson is a 15mth old German shepherd un neutered male of direct German bloodline, extremely dominant and aggressive to visitors and other dogs ,animals. In the time the owners have had him they've not been able to get him to focus on commands even though they've owned several Shepherds before. His issues were aggression , barking , very physical and boisterious. Pulls. in fact isn't walk on the streets due to his nature. Tyson took a bit to settle and was starting to respond to our passive use of training techniques. I'm excited to see progress in a couple of weeks. Great work guys.

We loved seeing Keiko again and learning how to speak dog again it’s certainly working for us all. We are all really enjoying our walks again now-Sharyn

- S.C, Massey, Auckland (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Keiko
Was great to see you again since April 2014 :) Our Life Time Support works when you need us any time. Great to see Ollie (Bichon cross, 7 years old) responded immediately. Great student!!

6th August 2018 - Keiko Ruwhiu

I don't know where to start, Keiko was amazing! Within our first session of 3 hours, we noticed the biggest change in our dog Blaze. Blaze would act quite aggressive towards strangers and visitors to our house, jump up at us, bark at other dogs and noises and run off if we left the ranch-slider open. Since Keiko, Blaze now does not respond aggressively to visitors at the door, he is not barking at strange noises or dogs, he will not jump up on us and we can know walk on our deck with the ranch-slider open and Blaze will not run outside. Within 24 hours Blaze is a different dog and more relaxed and I can only imagine what he will be like as weeks go by continuing training. Thank you Keiko!

- A.R, Stanmore Bay, Auckland (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Keiko
Blaze (a year old Greyhound cross) responded to the lesson very well. He needed to understand who is in charge of his pack and there are rules and boundaries. I was very happy to see him relax once he understood that.:) Keep up the good work!

2nd August 2018 - Mark Gall

Mark was great really easy to understand all information about puppy management & we as a family look forward to implementing the techniques we are learning with Rizzo

- C.R, Waimairi Beach, Canterbury (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Mark
Brand new little puppy and the clients did their research before purchasing , getting training when it arrives to be a head of the game before problems occur. Great wee puppy with an exploring attitude. Looking forward to next session in a couple of weeks

31st July 2018 - Keiko Ruwhiu

Ella's inside behaviour with us was completely different to her outside behaviour to others. Our sweet 1yr old Lab X had a bark that was quite scary for the people walking past our gate. Keiko saw this and explained everything about what Ella was thinking. Within 1hr Ella changed. This was not just training for Ella but for us as well. Keiko also helped Ella with her lead walking and focus whilst walking. Gone is the pulling and going towards all she sees. The things we learned are now in practice. Keiko helped us to understand Ella and to speak dog. We are so happy with this change and will recommend Keiko to others who need a hand with their furry member of their family.

- K.S, Massey, Auckland (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Keiko
I was very pleased with the way Ella (a year old Lab cross) responded to the lesson. She is still a young girl, so keep up the good work! She can only get better with your help :)

16th July 2018 - Mark Gall

Mark carried out an excellent training session that far exceeded my expectations. His knowledge of dog behavior and his genuine nature made the lesson enjoyable as well as a productive step towards improving my dogs life as we well as my own.

- G.M, Bishopdale, Canterbury (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Mark
Ned is a large and big softy malamute x Shepherd with separation anxiety issues, Ay one year old also all about himself. he responded well and the owner applied the techniques very well . Check up in a week or two to see how progress is going but even during the lesson the separation howling was significantly reduced. Great work Neddie boy you big cuddly bear.

15th July 2018 - Mark Gall

I found the training extremely helpful. Marks quiet but strong nature put my wee dog sophie at ease, and made the training easy for me to understand. All the written information left will help me continue the training and give me something to go back too if necessary it is also very assuring to know that i can call Mark if i have any ongoing problems and that there is help for the lifetime of my dog should other issues arrise.

- T.W, Christchurch, Canterbury (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Mark
Great wee dog with some separation issues, solved quickly with simple easy techniques, Great work guys , keep it up.

8th July 2018 - Keiko Ruwhiu

A miracle happened in our house yesterday. Keiko very quickly showed us how to communicate with our dogs effectively, getting them to respond correctly and all in a couple of hours. They no longer jump up, bark randomly, pull on their leads or jump on the furniture. They are happier and now know who’s the boss. All achieved without treats - just simple techniques that work. If I hadn’t seen this for myself I would have been very cynical. Worth every cent! Thank you Keiko!

- M.K, Kohimarama, Auckland (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Keiko
You are more than welcome! I was very happy with the way Duffy (8.5 year old Eg Cocker Spaniel) and Zico (6 year old Am Cocker Spaniel) responded to the lesson. They simply needed to understand that there are rules, boundaries and manners. Keep up the good work!

20th June 2018 - Mark Gall

We saw immediate improvement with our two dogs, Charley and Sputnik (both are Cavalier King Charles Spaniels). Mark helped us understand why our dogs were behaving the way they were, and helped us to become better pack leaders. His techniques were excellent, and he has been very responsive in terms of followup questions. Our dogs are so much better than they were before we met with Mark. I am thrilled with the service and cannot recommend it highly enough. I wish we had done this earlier!

- N.L, Blenheim, Marlborough (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Mark
Sputnik and Charley are great temperament dogs but barked and took on the visitors in a highly exciting way. The owners implemented our techniques and with in the lesson immediate improvement. Great work guys.

19th June 2018 - Mark Gall

Good explanation of how puppy thinks, and how we need to treat him to help him be a well behaved dog as he grows

- N.C, Halswell, Canterbury (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Mark
Previous clients of a behaviour issue dog they decided to get us in right from the pick a puppy , which one , what temperament ,stage. The 1st lesson of several as well as puppy school this pup is going to cared for with supervision by the teenage son, so implementing the importance on focus and training was important. Great wee pup and he'll do well.

7th June 2018 - Keiko Ruwhiu

The training gave us some really useful tools but more importantly it gave us hope that we would be able to work with our dogs to solve the problems we were having.

- A.K, Auckland, (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Keiko
Both Jazz (2 year old German Spitz) and Kiki (16 month old Staffy cross) were very territorial due to confusion. I was very pleased with the way they responded to the training. Keep up the good work!
