Both John and myself would like to thank Keiko for her patience with us to explain and answer all our questions. Looking forward to the future working together to help us with Harley.

Keiko was amazing - the moment she walked in the door she had our dogs attention and they didn't jump up on her. What a first that was - I knew from then it was going to be a great success. By the end of the afternoon Keiko had them listening not pulling on the lead when out walking , leaving balls when told to and generally being much better dogs. The best thing was that Keiko communicated everything so well to us and we both managed to achieve wonderful results with our dogs. We have had other trainers come in in the past with no success - this is the first time we have seen immediate results. Thank you Keiko.

I was so relieved to have Mark come and work with us and our dog. His expertise in all aspects of the session sorted my concerns swiftly and effectively. He got us back on track immediately and Roman has almost returned back to the well behaved little boy he was in the past (before I let him take over as the "boss"). We enjoyed Mark's visit and are confident in the knowledge that what he went over with us, works! Money well spent for peace of mind. Thank you Mark :-)
Trainer note from Mark
Little Roman is a toy poodle but very possessive, and barking ,grumpy issues were appearing and guidance to not let him take complete control was needed. Great work by all was evident in Roman not needing to be quite so in charge and therefore relaxed.

mark was very helpful and we have seen immediate results with shadow. He was more determined than our stubborn dog and had her behaving in no time.
Trainer note from Mark
Shadow is most definitely a challenge but started to show improvement in the lesson, She'll be a work in progress as her dog on dog aggressive issues are very strong. Her owners are committed to getting on top of her anxieties. Great effort and persistence Guys.

Keiko has helped us with Cooper a lot and we all noticed a big difference after our first lesson. Very good teacher with a great manner. Thank you Keiko.

Lesson 1 was a great learning curve for both Brent and myself but Mark made us feel at ease and confident we can continue with Django's and our own training. A day after lesson 1and Django is much more calmer and willing to listen to our instructions and we are mastering the BAH and praise.
Trainer note from Mark
Django is a 4mth Shihtzu X Maltese. Young and fun but in need of education, Challenges include getting voice controls good as Hubby is in a wheel chair and usual body language isn't there to utilise and make communication clearer. Great work by the owners and Django is responding already, Looking forward to the next session.

Mark was fantastic! We enjoyed the lesson thoroughly. There were alot of helpful tips and hints for getting our dog to listen and focus on us. Mark has a great way of explaining why our dog was doing the things she was and made us feel comfortable with all the activities we did.
Trainer note from Mark
Awesome young couple trying to deal with a dog who's had 5 owners in 2 years. They've already made a difference in this dogs life prior to Bark Busters. But more was needed. The house hold has 5 adults in it and consistency is key but also focus of the dog , Great effort and great focus Taz girl.

Keiko was amazing. She taught us some very basic tips to help train Buddy. Nothing too complicated and all of those tips have been effective.

I was amazed with the speed the techniques helped me get my unruly, unfocussed dog under control. We need some more work on his behaviour outside the home, but he has markedly improved inside and does what I ask without throwing a tantrum or running away!
Trainer note from Mark
Great wee dog and committed owner, Pippin was manic at the front door and would nip at legs and feet. Quite a strong temperament but needed some speaking dog to. Very strong on lead . Responded with the commitment and work will be a great dog. Brilliant effort by both.

Keiko is amazing and each time we see her we both feel like we have learnt so much and we know what we need to work on as Georgie's parents. Keiko always give us the 'Why' behind everything which we find really valuable.

Mark amazed us with his knowledge and ability to teach us how to work with our dog and to get our dog to listen. Mark was very patient and flexible with us and a house full of children.
Trainer note from Mark
A rehome dog for this family who have settled in beautiful St Leonards area of Dunedin. Large property and a dog not used to staying around. Great work by the family to take on board how Buddy thinks and apply the skills to there unique environment and busy household. a revisit will be on the cards to work more past the basics.
