Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

Absolutely enjoyed my training with Keiko. Gives me a lot of hope that I will be able to do more with Rex and not have to worry about how he will react outside of our home.

We first met Keiko when we needed help with Indi barking at the gate. That was almost 2 years ago It did seem expensive, but being able to have ongoing support for the lifetime of the dog is really superb value for money. We've asked Keiko back several times to help with bad behaviour after moving house & just to refresh us with training, or if Indi was forgetting her manners. Keiko is incredible - very experienced and great to deal with. Indi always says thank you for coming back to re-train my Mum.

The one problem we had was Petal’s incessant barking at the slightest noise. Keiko was just amazing she right away diagnosed the problem the Petal was an anxious pup and that was her way of expressing in self defense. Keiko first taught us how to gain the confidence of the dog and then showed us how to curb her barking. Now Petal is SO good that even the neighbours notice how quiet she is. Thanks to Keiko 🙏 Keiko is the most amazing trainer. She is so knowledgeable and has such a wonderful way with dogs. 😊 We are so lucky to have her to train our dog. Thank you Keiko for the wonderful job you have done with Petal.

Keiko's training of us has been wonderful, and both the dogs have responded so incredibly well - and are far more relaxed and happy as a result. We had particular issues with both dogs jumping up on cars/people to greet them, and charging through doors ahead of humans, causing problems on occasions with grandchildren! Both these bad habits were sorted out almost immediately once we were shown how to stop them - and Josh has almost stopped interfering with the grandchildrens' ball games! I would therefore thoroughly recommend Keiko and Bark Busters to anyone wanting to have trouble-free dogs to be proud of!!

One neighbour has already said Tilly is a lot quieter, not so much barking

Keiko is the real deal. An absolute professional with the ability to both do and teach. Having read and watched all the dog training information and tv series I could find I was unable to achieve the outcomes I wanted with my dogs prior to meeting Keiko. My relationship with my dogs changed almost instantly with instruction from Keiko. How surreal it was to find myself in a situation "as seen on tv" where my dogs suddenly did all the right things and were happy and relaxed about it! Keiko made this happen by teaching me how to communicate in a way my dogs understood and respected. Keiko has brilliant ways of explaining dog behaviour and thinking that I'd never heard before, and which provided many 'aha' moments. As someone who has been around a lot of dogs for much of my life I thought I knew what I was doing, and was reluctant to seek help. However, thanks to Keiko, I now have a new and effective way of communicating with my dogs; they understand it and are so much more relaxed and happy already.

Methods taught were effective and easy to implement. We looking forward to our 2nd visit

Training was really great - Mark was so easy going and extremely knowledgeable, he engaged well with both us and Brachan. He made the whole experience understandable and effortless. Cant believe how quickly Brachan responded. Looking forward to putting in to practice what Mark taught us. So pleased we were referred by Our Vets to Bark Busters.

I was amazed how quickly my dogs responded to the training. Fantastic. I felt empowered and excited that I could confidently handle my previously difficult dogs. I am so impressed with Mark and thankful. He is easy to talk to and puts you at ease straight away. I will continue with working on my dogs using the techniques I have been taught so I can take my dogs for walks without the struggle and dog aggression that had stopped me walking them. All in 3 hours! Highly recommend and encourage others to take control by calling Mark for not only your sake but also the dog's. The Bark Busters harness and collar gave me more control.

Excellent training, great tools and very knowledgeable trainer. It's great having the trainer on hand to help you handle new issues if they arise, always learning!

We frequently recommend Mark Gall of Bark Busters to other dog owners. Mark is the dog whisperer of the century. He made a huge difference to the behaviours that were upsetting us about our Papillion. Mark restored peace to our home because the barking reduced from 90 to 5% overnight. He was excellent and Toto responded to Mark very well. Mark understands dogs and as importantly knows how to teach the owners how to train their own dog. He is a great communicator and uses humour well.

Both my husband and I thought our training was remarkably effective in a short period of time, and provided some new and surprising advice in the way we approach our dogs. Within a couple of days, both dogs were far more relaxed and responsive, and we shall definitely continue to work on the many training techniques shown us by Keiko - as they obviously work!
