Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials
20th December 2017 - Mark Gall
Mark is very pleasant and easy to relate too. My two border collies have strong personalities and are definately a challange. My younger Tammy has fear aggression and had pushed the boundaries,she is anxious, so has been a challange for Mark as well. Tammy was also trying to push herself as the boss of the house which was causing issues.
Fergus , our 4 1/2 year old border collie does gate barking but also had managed to train us to play everytime he wanted without us really noticing. While the gate barking is still a work in progress, he has tamed it back and relaxed more, and realises play doesnt happen when he wants.
Tammy is getting better, though its not going to be a quick fix, things are better.She still doesnt like other dogs, but will work on that, but she now knows she isnt the boss and has settled a lot.
Its great having someone to call on when your not sure what to do next, and believe me I called on Mark alot, txting and emails and phone calls and replys were pretty quick. Even when we thought we couldnt keep Tammy, Mark suggested me she was worth it and keep trying, at this point we are pleased we have.
We are by no means finished with the training, so in the new year (2018) another visit from Mark will happen and we will work with Tammy again. Just wish I could have him here for the week, to help build Tammys and my confidence more, so I can get it right with her everytime.
Her leadwork is still not great but we will keep working on that too.LOL
Thanks Mark Bark Busters .
Trainer note from Mark
Tammy and Fergus have been extremely challenging dogs, Tammy especially with major fear issues from a young dog and I was called in at about 7 mths of age. Progress with Fergus has been great . Much slower with Tammy who has numerous anxiety issues to work through. And an extremely strong desire to be leader even though her temperament is not the one to be leader. Much pack shuffling has occurred since Fergus relaxed and Tammy thought she should come up. fantastic work and consistency put in by the owners who are dedicated to help her through.

At first I was not convinced about the methodology but Keiko did persevere with us and came back several times until we got the results we are hoping. Our dog is now a pleasure to have again. Thank you Keiko

Kieko is lovely and was fantastic with Mila. She explains the processes and the reasons for the training methods very clearly. We immediately saw improvements and our pup is a lot happier now that she knows her place in the pack. I would highly recommend Keiko and Bark Busters. We are very happy owners!

Keiko was lovely to deal with and explained everything really well. I really didn't believe that my dog's issues could be sorted but at the end of the session he'd responded really well and just continues to get better as we reinforce his training. Keiko is really passionate about her work and I'm still amazed at how my dog's behaviour has changed - he's a pleasure to have around now. The lifetime guarantee also gives great peace of mind.

Our neighbour already commented how much quieter Tilly was. Mark had us and Tilly applying the techniques and right where Tilly needed to be.

Our first training session with Mark was amazing! The response from my dog was immediate and has stuck with her beyond the lesson with just a few small changes on my part. I am so glad we decided to give Bark Busters a try and would recommend Mark to anyone who wants to have a great relationship with their dog.

The training was fantastic and very informative. Lots of explanations were given as to why the training was needed and it has certainly made a big difference to our family life. Cooper is now more relaxed and he knows what the boundaries are.

Khali was only 4 months old when Keiko first met us. She was a lot of work.. and patience. But thanks to Keiko, we learned to communicate with Khali better.

Mark explained things very thoroughly and then we were able put in to practice straight away with good results. Mark was patient and we felt instantly at ease with him. By the end of the training we felt we had the right tools to implement effective training with Burt and knowing that we have a guarantee to allows us to call on Mark if we need require further training is invaluable.
Trainer note from Mark
Burt is was a very exciteable non focussing but loveable wee chap, Just needed the right language to get the focus and brain engaged. Smart wee chap. Great work by the owners to implement the techniques and rewarded with pretty much instant understanding by Burt. Nice effort guys.
