Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials

11th June 2016 - Keiko Ruwhiu

Used Bark Busters about 15 years ago with another dog. Keiko obviously knows her stuff. Very happy with techniques she showed us, now it's up to us to put it into practice.

11th June 2016 - Keiko Ruwhiu

Keiko was very clear and explained why for certain exercises. Titus responded very well to the training we were almost shocked. It was good to see Titus responding so quickly. We love that there is a lifetime support guarantee and that so many training resources we required. Having trainer physically come to the house is also a bonus. Thank you very much for your time.

Pete responded to the training very well. Great techniques, easy to learn and follow. Keiko was a great trainer and Pete seemed to like her. Easy to contact when I had questions too.

1st June 2016 - Keiko Ruwhiu

Keiko was extremely helpful, thorough and explained everything in detail. She was firm with both the humans and animals which helped me understand that the way I was treating my dogs was detrimental to their well-being, ie; spoiling and not giving clear instructions and boundaries. I really appreciate her assistance and will ensure that we continue with the homework she has left us.

Excellent. Mark is sure of what he is doing and Jed responded very quickly. I had bought a puppy training book that was good but so involved it wasn't possible for me to do (have the dog tied to me so he didn't get bad habits). Thankfully Bark Busters training can be used in any environment and is practical and easy to use in everyday life. It will help our family enjoy Jed so much more. I can already see that after some use/practice it will be needed less and less often.

27th May 2016 - Keiko Ruwhiu

The training so far has been easy to understand and simple to follow. Our dog currently has habits like pulling lead, nervous barking and sometimes, jumping up, that we are thankful to say he is already learning not to do. As pack leaders, we have been able to address these habits (and more) with the help of Keiko at Bark Busters. Even in the very first lesson, we already saw a change in our dog's response to us as dog owners - his respect towards us is more obvious now. In all honesty, we already thought our dog had good listening skills and a teachable nature... But it's Bark Busters that's giving us the knowledge we need to unlock his full potential as a GREAT family dog. We owe it to our dog to be the pack leaders he looks for us to be, and to bring out the absolute best in him. We also know that what we learn with Bark Busters for our current dog can be applied to every dog we decide to adopt in future.

Mark got results from both Jack and us straight away. We were so amazed that Jack responded so quickly. Mark was great to deal with, he explained everything clearly, gave us a plan to move forward and stop having Jack rule his humans. To see results so quickly from Marks methods gave us great peace of mind.

Trainer note from Mark
Lovely wee MR "Jack" Russell, separation anxiety issue, neighbour works nights, last chance with council . Very stressed dog when owners are not home. It took a little for the male owner to get his head around the dog rules process, definitely not the owners nature to create structure and rules but did an awesome job and saw the results of that very quickly. Credit to them for working well and hard to solve a difficult problem.

25th May 2016 - Mark Gall

Just what we needed, in what seemed like a short time, although it was nearly 3 hours, we understood how we could get Ice's attention which is difficult with a deaf dog. We have a long road a head of us, training ourselves and our boy but we saw a huge difference in such a short time and have already been able to use the training tools to help us whilst out in public. I feel confident that with Mark's guidance and all of our hard work we will achieve a happy friendly dog again

- S.C, Brown Owl, Wellington (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Mark
Fantastic but confused English bull terrier. Deaf and unable to understand the owners , I was called in for an aggression bite which in view of the dog s deafness would probably have been fear and misunderstanding. He gets frights easily and sometimes shows reaction but communication was very difficult until we explained the use of a sight distraction to catch his attention and then body language communication ,and lots of praise Amazing effort on the part of the owners who honestly thought they may have to put him down. Work in progress but awesome start.

24th May 2016 - Mark Gall

Mark arrived on time and appropriately dressed in the Bark Buster uniform which presented in a professional and well prepared manner. He provided a detailed explanation of Bark Busters, the methods used by the therapists, dog behaviours and how we should expect the puppy to behave. He also undertook practical lessons with the pup and us. Over the two and half hour session we covered a comprehensive range of topics

- D.C, Wellington, (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Mark
Lovely couple and great wee Cavoodle pup Maisie. They have had dogs before but not a pup for a very long time. Wee Maisie and the owners responded well and ,as expected for a 9 week old, the basics will fall in place soon enough. Well done Maisies owners.

21st May 2016 - Mark Gall

Our dog Toka is a boisterous, large, play driven puppy. Lovely nature, but behaviour pretty questionable - much more interested in (really roughly) baiting his humans to play than in listening. Mark made an immediate impression on him, and had him submitting and listening within minutes. More importantly, as first time dog owners, Mark has been teaching us how to teach him, and how to 'learn' him. We have now had two sessions with Mark, and our doggo has made much progress, as have we. We are feeling much more confident - and have gone from being eaten alive to having a puppy that we enjoy being with, and who enjoys us. We are really pleased to have gone with the life time guarantee, so that we can access on-going support while we continue to get to know our doggo as he goes through different developmental stages.

- K.N, Upper Hutt, Wellington (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Mark
great effort by the owners to get their head around how to handle Toka. my first contact with the owners was"do we have an aggressive beast, he bites all the time" A bit of teaching and a bit of time and Toka is turning out a great wee man.

27th April 2016 - Keiko Ruwhiu

The training was really helpful - we have already learnt so many techniques to help us with Gary's behaviour issues that we had been happening, and she is so much happier now that we understand her better and she understands us better. Thanks Keiko - we cannot wait to see the end results with Gary from the trainings :)

- K.H, Kumeu, Auckland (Testimonial)

24th April 2016 - Keiko Ruwhiu

Keiko was excellent. We saw a huge improvement in our dog after the first lesson. We're now confident in continuing the training with the dogs.
