Keiko was excellent. We learnt so much from her and now feel confident to have Max as a successful member of our family. The difference in Max have been immediate. Thank you so much for all your help.

Great Training. Definitely knows his stuff. Could see changes by the end of the lesson, will keep up with all the training!
Trainer note from Mark
Two beautiful Rottweillers, but the girl has fear aggressive issues with other dogs and animals , unfortunately an atrocious rainy day for weather but still managed to get through a lot of training, and the owner and dogs did very well. We'll need to come back and do more work with other dogs especially but Max's response to the horses was very encouraging , usually she's lunging and trying to get too them. Most positive lesson ,excellent work by the owner.

Very interesting. We got an insight into how our dogs think. I can't believe how much the stress melted away as I was able to walk each dog calmly, just strolling along and stopping when I wanted to!!
Trainer note from Mark
Great work by the owners of two ,not been told off before Jack Russells. Both the family and the dogs did an awesome job of taking on board simple but effective training techniques with out too much fuss. The dogs at first found focussing hard but did improve greatly as the lesson went on.

Training was very informative, the way in which the approach is explained is very clear and makes a lot of sense. Keiko was very organised and had a bag of tricks, if Gus did not respond to one thing she had lots of other resources to use. Gus responded pretty much straight away to the training techniques which is amazing to see. We mostly appreciate the fact the training is not treat driven - as explained we should not have to bribe our dogs for them to respect us. The training was very hands on followed up by all the techniques written down which has been very useful to refer back to during the week. Keiko was very friendly and accessible if we had any further questions. Keiko explored all aspects of Gus's life/environment and gave us some great ideas on diet and how diet can effect behavior.

Life changing! I feel more confident and calmer as Boomer responds and I have options if he doesn't immediately respond with more complete commands.
Rather than rushing to exercise him when I get home, to tire him out, we now work to a time table that works better for me, because he is calmer and happier already.
We have a much happier relationship as owner and dog.
Trainer note from Mark
Brilliant work, well done and Boomer I'm sure appreciates the routine and pack structure.

I recommend Bark Busters because it is effective and we can teach the dogs in a way that you are not physical with them.

Keiko is great. I'm a first time dog owner. Geordie is a very shy rescue dog, but she was patient but firm with both of us. (I needed more training than the dog!) I feel I can now be a good, responsible dog owner of a very happy dog.

We were truly amazed at how quick & effective the training was. Keiko was such a pleasure to work with and made it very easy for us to use the techniques & understand our lovely pooch, making all our lives much easier. Completely life changing!

Keiko was fantastic of explaining the techniques verbally and also demonstrating. The dogs were very responsive and it felt like they were completely different dogs! Best decision I ever made was to contact Keiko & I would recommend to every one to train with her before getting a dog!

Really amazed at how quickly Mark taught us to be the pack leaders.Training going well and cant thank Mark enough for the knowledge and advise he gave us.Would reccomend Barkbusters to anyone who is having behaviour problems with their dog.

Very informative and detailed training. Taught Sarah more about how to discipline and understand Katinka's behaviour. Information left with us was very useful to go back to. Sarah needs to keep using skills taught.
