Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials
30th March 2016 - Keiko Ruwhiu
Bark Busters were just what we needed and the price for two dogs is quite reasonable we thought. We were very happy with the help we received from our trainer Keiko Ruwhiu. The dogs behaviour is improving but there's still a way to go yet.

Keiko helped Cooper a dog we adopted found her forever home. now ~! for a 7 years old German Shepherd, Cooper came to us with barking/aggressive/leash pulling issues but in 2 visits and the home work Keiko designed for us bring Cooper now a polite, patient and loving pet for us and with the daily work out Cooper realise she is now under a new roof and she is now a more happier dog.

We were very impressed with Keiko and the Bark Busters method. It is simple and Keiko presented it very well. We are amazed how well our 6 month old Weimaraner is responding to it. I feel much more in control of my dog and also much better equipped to teach her properly and adequately. I wish we had know about the Bark Busters before we got the puppy in order to do the right thing from the start.

Keiko was very thorough in providing us with valuable information and explainations on dog behaviour. She was able to translate our dog's behaviour and identify the behavioural issues.She also helped us to correct our training methods in order to enhance communication between us and our dog . We were given solutions and techniques that were immediately effective. We highly recommend BarkBusters to anyone who is struggling to understand or train their beloved canine companions.

Bert becomes very anxious with people in general and barks continually at them from a distance. He will not let anyone approach him. At the beach he will circle people and bark at them which can be quite scary for these people minding there own business. He is scared of small children and their bikes. When visitors arrive Bert barks incessantly. Mark's training has been excellent and we now have a routine for these occasions. We have a much better understanding of how Bert sees things and why he behaves the way he does. Mark has shown us how to get control back and help Bert be less anxious.
Trainer note from Mark
Bert was possibly the most nervous dog I've seen for years but with careful application of the right amount of focus work and affection he's managed to become a quite relaxed dog in many of his daily situations. Unusual for a Labrador to be anxious of life. Fantastic effort and work by the owners has seen Bert start to enjoy life a bit more. Thanks for the commitment

Really excellent, Keiko was every thing that we needed, we couldn't be more happy with her service. It was a great first session, Keiko spent all afternoon here with us and our two dogs and with her expert help we are now on the way to becoming two proud well behaved dog owners. Improvements in their behaviour were noticed in that first session and they are getting better every day as we follow the program that she left us. We highly recommend her, following her advice we have even changed the dogs diet, we are now aware of where we were lacking as dog owners and what we can achieve, thanks very much Keiko we are looking forward to our next session and hopefully with two much better behaved dogs

Paddy and I had a great time learning with Mark. Paddy responded well to the techniques and I was suprised how calm he became. I'm excited to try out my new skills :)
Trainer note from Mark
Paddy is a typical 6mth old over exuberant Labrador. Lives on a Dairy farm . but hasn't a herding bone in his body. Lovely dog too full of beans. Both the owner and Paddy worked well ,took in the exercises and Paddy showed the results with a huge improvement in focus after just a couple of hours . Great job Paddy boy and owner.

We are thrilled with the improvement in our anxious dog's behaviour. Mark was easy to talk to and explained well the changes we needed to make to reduce the anxiety levels of our young springer spaniel. I am now able to take Becca on long walks without any lead pulling, and she is no longer barking aggressively at people coming to our front door. We still have a little way to go, but are confident we will have a happy dog in the end.
Trainer note from Mark
Becca was a timid and therefore aggressive barker and snapper at the door. We had to correct the barking right at the door because we couldn't hear each other before we could even sit down to talk. She responded well ,a little head strong at first but with guidance the owners got brilliant results by about half way through the lesson. Great work awesome effort.

Mark was professional and definitely helped Louis in the immediate time frame although we still have problems with his barking. Very cool to have Mark come back and help again a few months later. We are still trying hard with his guidelines and it is nice to know we can call on him again if we need to.
Trainer note from Mark
Quite challenging 2 dogs and house hold as there are several flat mates and a business work from home , a busy house. Busy dogs and not too much structure till now. The barking is at doors etc and anxiety on walks. They start to respond well in lesson situation but like all training consistency will help. Much better than they were and with a bit more persistent application they'll be even better, Great work guys, keep it up.
