Keiko dealt with Aggression, Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Other

Keiko's methods work! We were really struggling with a very reactive teenage bitch with the final straw having her stood down from daycare. We have much work to do over the next few weeks but already we have made massive progress after just one session. I am no longer anxious and am feeling very confident that we can all start to have a life again with a well behaved dog - thanks Keiko!

Trainer note from Keiko
Thank you for a review! Sanna (Lab Staffy cross 2.5 years old) was confused about the rules, boundaries and who makes them. She needed to understand who is in charge.😉 Keep up the good work! My help is always available for you and Sanna 😊

Keiko dealt with Aggression, Barking, Chewing, Digging, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Sibling rivalry

Keiko came into my home after a desperate call to her a week earlier. I have used her before when my dogs have been out of line. but this time I have two puppies which was not my best work. My house was chaos, after 3.5 hours she had me trained enough that my household has become manageable. It has been hard work- but I have a way forward (with a lot of rules - which I created) so I could deal with the issues I created. Keiko is straight forward and blunt- I love that. She scares me - I need that. She knows so much more than I could ever hope to know. She tells it like it is. She is brutal - this approach just works. I even tried another assessment with another trainer, before I caved and went to Keiko (to avoid the telling off). Being unimpressed with their ability to, the cost and their plan- I went back to Keiko. She has been truly a blessing. My household is far from perfect. My pocket bully is behaving a million times better, he has stopped nipping My border collie is still hard work, he is finally lying down and 'resting ' Thanks again Keiko, the boys and I are forever grateful.

Thank you Anne! Great to hear Bently (1 year old Bull Mastiff) and Bodhi (9 months old Border Collie) are doing well. Now they have a leader (dog parent) to help them learn rules, boundaries and good manners. They responded to their first session really well. Keep up the good work! My help is always available for you and the boys. 😊

13th May 2026 - Keiko Ruwhiu

Keiko dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Separation anxiety

Keiko is amazing. We were having issues on leaving Queen alone, taking her for a walk and her super excitement when meeting other people. It was getting impossible to leave the house without taking her to a day care. On our first meeting with Keiko we found hope again, Queen has already shown major improvements from day 1. Within a week we were even able to go out for a dinner without having any issues with her separation anxiety. I would strongly recommend Keiko, that was a life changer for was.

Keiko dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall

Keiko was very helpful and professional. She explained our puppy’s behaviour clearly and showed us how to communicate and correct it in a way he understands. We saw immediate improvement and left the session feeling much more confident about the road ahead.

Keiko was outstanding. I needed a wake-up call in terms of how I humanised my dog and I got it. She also improved my dog's behaviour dramatically.

Keiko dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Recall, Separation anxiety, Other

We were very impressed by Keiko, she has a lot of experience and she taught us about our dogs' thought processes, their sense of leadership, and how leadership is understood by our dogs. We have learned and applied the techniques to our dogs behaviour problems and we have seen a huge reduction in just a few days. I highly recommend Bark Busters. Through applying their strategies we have a happier home, and now we can watch TV without Cosmo charging and barking at our TV! Its been a life saver, and we are all a much happier family.

- L.D, Auckland (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Keiko

Keiko was amazing with my dog Matilda. The tools she has given me gave positive results very quickly. I was very surprised. I will use these tools consistently to bring about a permanent change to her behaviour.

Exhausting but all pertinent. Personal instruction at end very useful. Very effective. Will need follow-up as there is a lot to learn.

Keiko dealt with Aggression, Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall

Keiko was amazing and the right person/trainer that we've been waiting for. She was very thorough, knowledgeable, clear and positive about the improvement of our dog, Apollo. Apollo responded so well and is now showing signs of improvement even though we just had the initial meeting with Keiko couple days ago as she taught us some techniques and ways. My family is really impressed. Keiko was really great and looking forward to our next sessions.

- P.G, Huapai (Testimonial)
