Bark Busters Reviews and Customer Testimonials
15th March 2024 - Keiko Ruwhiu
Keiko is wonderful. She is incredibly patient with owners that are learning to break bad habits alongside their dogs. She is very knowledgeable around the subject and conveys this clearly and concisely. Her lessons have bought back the joy of walking out dogs.
Trainer note from Keiko
Thank you for taking time to leave a review Steve! Nacho (6 years old Huntaway cross) and Lady (6 years old Staffy cross) responded really well. They needed to understand there are rules, boundaries and most importantly who makes them. They were happy for you to take the leadership! Keep up the good work! My help is always available for you😊

Mark has a friendly manner when teaching people, we certainly found that learning the dog language is extremely educational.
Marks service is excellent and his communication through phone and email also.
We certainly would be recommending Mark and what he is teaching is very beneficial for the dog world and humans.
Trainer note from Mark
Calvin is a border collie puppy and with the clients remote location no professional dog training is available. Both Calvin and the owners took in the right info and applied the techniques very well . Good job guys. And we'll touch base soon with an update and second session to progress training further. Well done team Calvin

Keith was very thorough and knowledgeable in giving me guidance on how to manage my puppy Cleo and how to become a better pack leader! We are working through issues with a better understanding of how to manage them and building confidence within us both. We highly recommend Keith!
Trainer note from Keith
Thank you Caitlin. You both showed that you can do this! Getting the leadership in place showed some immediate benefits. Cleo is going to be a calmer more relaxed dog, and you'll be calmer and more relaxed as well! I look forward to our follow-up sessions and the progress you make.

What a blessing Keiko was! Her calm and friendly demeanor was just what our puppy needed. Keiko explained everything to us with patience and visual as well as verbal examples so that we felt comfortable and confident in practising these techniques with our puppy. We have a much calmer home as there is now very clear communication which we all understand. I couldn't recommend Bark Busters enough, fantastic result after only one session. Thank you Keiko.

Mark provided a calm and relaxing level of instruction, which made the training enjoyable for us and our dog, although we were all pretty tired by the end of it! Teaching us how to be good leaders meant we saw an instant change in our dog’s behaviour which gave us the feeling that her anxiety is something we can help her overcome. We feel we now have some tools to make walks more enjoyable for all of us. Still plenty of work to do but now thanks to Mark we have a plan.
Trainer note from Mark
Frankie is a German Shepherd of 5 yrs. old. Who is quite dog reactive. Pulled a lot and really had no focus on the owners when outside the property. Worried about everything and visually over stimulated. 1st steps are in place to have a program to refocus retrain his attention. She did very well but will be a work in progress , hence our life of the dog guarantee.

Shadow has massively improved on lead walking and paying more attention to is while she is out and about much more enjoyable experience walking her.
Trainer note from Mark
Great temperament dog just needed some speak dog guidance to tone down its full on nature. Pulled like a train but very smart and did very well in the lesson . Catch up soon.

Keiko arrived at our place and thoroughly analysed our dogs behaviour and how we act to those behaviours. We saw massive improvements only in one session. Biggest thing for us was that our dogs started respecting us. We are looking forward to more sessions and can’t recommend Keiko enough.

We are very happy with Keiko. She is very focused and determined. She came to assess our dog for a court case we are in. If the trial goes well, we are keen to have some training sessions with Keiko.
