5th April 2017 - Mark Gall
Mark was great, he explained everything clearly and positively. We have definitely noticed a difference in how we and Charlie behave and I'm looking forward to more improvements as we progress.
Trainer note from Mark
Charlie's going to be a great dog but certainly has a focus issue to work on . Quite headstrong too. Great work by Jacq and the family.

We live overlooking a reserve and Robbie and Willow barked at everything! This has meant that we had to live with the curtains permanently closed, doors and windows shut and we never had a meal that was uninterrupted as we constantly tried to stop Robbie and Willow barking to avoid upsetting the neighbours. We had been to puppy classes, listened to ridiculous advice from other dog owners, bought a sonic device, had a trainer (not from Barkbusters) in our home whose methods were to say the least cruel and unethical. Our trust in trainers was at an all time low. Life was stressful and we were at our wits end. Then salvation came in the form of Keiko.
Keiko is an amazing trainer. From the time that she entered the house she paid close attention to Robbie and Willow's behaviour whilst also listening to our difficulties, especially with barking. Within a couple of minutes she had the barking under control. It was unbelievable, almost as if a switch had been turned off in the dogs brains. They seemed more relaxed, and we were just in awe at the efficacy of the training. We were also helped with problems walking Robbie and Willow and given heaps of advice.
It is now one week since our first session and the difference that Keiko's training has made to our lives and Robbie and Willow's is immense. It is of course a process; we have to train ourselves as well as the dogs but at last we are seeing the lovely dogs that we always hoped that we had.
I cannot recommend Barkbusters and especially Keiko enough. If you have problems of any kind, don't give up on your dogs, invest in them, it is worth every cent. You will reap the benefits, making the lives of your family and dogs much happier.
Trainer note from Keiko
Thank you for the great feedback! I was very pleased with the way both Robbie & Willow responded to the training. They were a little confused about the rules and boundaries. Keep up the good work :)

The training was amazing! Keiko understood my dog 100%, and she was like doing magic things to Jojo, then Jojo was listening to her very well, and behave very well after the training, that was what we wanted from Jojo. Thanks very much Keiko!
Trainer note from Keiko
Jojo is a very smart lovely young German Shepherd. I was very pleased the way she responded to the training. Keep up the good work!

Great lesson for a rehomed Cavaliar King Charles with barking issues and had always lived with a big dog not alone.
Trainer note from Mark
A challenging wee girl, with slight nervous issues, Can do the tasks but sometimes chooses to be stubborn. Great work by the owners who endeavour to work through the new problems when they occur.

Our training sessions have been very educative and informative. Our trainer Keiko is very thorough and knowledgeable.
Good techniques introduced.

Very well explained and easy to follow. Amazing both Sadie and I appreciated Keiko's techniques and patience. No harsh collars, no repeated treats. It was all at my pace. Not harried. No pressure. Amazing how simple and straightforward techniques are and how quickly Sadie responded. Have used the technique on other minor problems since lesson with ideal responses. Wish I had found Bark Busters 18 months ago.

Keiko was real gift with dogs and it was like "light bulb moment" when she explained how dogs listen etc. She made us realise what we were doing wrong and shown us the right way to handle the situation. Love her!

We noticed the difference in behaviour right away. Tried a couple of trainers before and we didn't achieve the same result like Bark Busters. Very impressive, money well invested!

Keiko is a wonderful trainer to work with. Winnie is 11 years old, rescued from pound. She had a reputation of being very protective. But not since Keiko trained me, the owner how to deal with her. Technique is much more effective than using treats and clickers which I have tried. I very highly recommend Keiko.

The session gave us plenty of tools and techniques to continue to use with our dogs, we have seen instant results and are very pleased with the session today.
Trainer note from Mark
Unfortunately todays session was a little pushed for time as the lesson was booked a matter of a couple of days ago and I was due to fly out straight after. But even so both the dogs and Jo and Josh really got onto it well. Both dogs showed improvement and consistency and putting in the focus work will show through. Bella the younger dog really has had no successful training so far and is very exuberant and Griffy is less of an issue but still required some work. Great work guys and Girls
