Keiko Ruwhiu
My name is Keiko Ruwhiu, and I am your local dog behaviour therapist and trainer. Since 2009, I have helped thousands of dogs and their owners. I will show you how to solve unwanted behaviours such as nuisance barking, scratching at the door, jumping up, not coming when called (Recall), digging, chewing, mouthing, nipping, biting, dog and human aggression, sibling rivalry, separation anxiety, pulling on lead, escaping, boundary control, door/gate manners, toilet training, puppy management and basic obedience and more, all in your home.
If you are looking for professional help near you, then you have found the right place. Bark Busters training is unique. We focus on canine communication and engaging the dog’s brain. We all know they have one and it’s often overlooked, with many training methods forgetting that a dog can think for itself and that they will choose to do the right thing if given the right environment, encouragement, and ample opportunity for learning.
Like people, dogs have their own personalities and temperament, and no two dogs are the same. I will assess your dog and tailor a programme to suit their personality and your needs. I will show you how to effectively communicate with your dog in a language that it can understand, using voice tone and body language. All of this is done without using any harsh training techniques. I focus on friendly, holistic, and natural training methods, using voice tone and body language, and it works on any breed, at any age and for any problem.
My clients see results literally in the very first lesson. Many of my clients come to me after other types of dog training methods have failed. Don't give up on your dog without working with me first. We have trained over 1 million dogs across the world that may have been given up on or put to sleep without our training.

Many of my clients say, “I wish I had called you sooner”. Don’t wait – contact us today! I can help change your relationship with your dog for the better.
