Keiko dealt with Barking, Pulling, Recall
Bandit is nearly 3yrs old and likes to bark at any noise he hears from the house, plus pulls when walking and has intermittent obedience. Keiko showed us some simple methods and approaches and we are already seeing positive results within a few days, and without the need for treats! More work to be done, but very happy with the progress so far, and the presentation and extra knowledge we now have means we can get more enjoyment from our relationship with Bandit.

Keiko dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Sibling rivalry
From the moment Keiko stepped into our home, her professionalism and passion for what she does were evident. She dedicated time to observe the behavior of our 2-year-old Pomeranian, Biscuit, understanding her unique personality, and tailored her approach to address our specific concerns. Her deep knowledge and expertise in canine behavior were truly impressive.
During our first session, Keiko provided clear instructions and practical techniques that were easy to follow. What amazed us the most was witnessing the immediate positive response from Biscuit. The transformation in her behavior was remarkable.
Additionally, Keiko shared valuable insights on understanding Biscuit's cues, creating a stronger bond between us. She not only addressed the issues at hand but also empowered us with the knowledge to continue the training on our own.
We can't thank Keiko enough for her dedication, patience, and expertise. Her positive and encouraging demeanor made the entire training experience enjoyable and effective. My only regret was not contacting her sooner!

Keiko was very knowledgeable and taught us a lot about dogs, we were very impressed with everything she has to say and we noticed a difference with Clyde almost instantly.

Truthfully, I was hesitant to get help with my dog because I didn't want to be judged on my total lack of knowledge of how to raise her. I'm so glad we went ahead with it because Keiko showed me how to truly love my dog and how much pressure she is carrying because I haven't taken a leadership role so she has had to step in and carry that responsibility. We have only had one training session but Onyx walked on a loose leash like a champ. I'm looking forward to being able to do all the things I've wanted to do with my dog that I haven't been able to because of her reactive behaviour. I'm truly amazed and grateful at how simple Keiko explained things and how much hope I have now after just one interaction with Bark Busters.

Keiko was amazing. The training she taught us has completely transformed Miles. He is a much calmer dog now. He responded so well to the training and it was surprisingly simple. Could not recommend Keiko more. Thank you so much!

We are blown away by the progress our three year old, recently adopted Golden Retriever has made after just one session with Keiko. He has gone from barely responding to our commands to following instructions like an absolute champ - we are so proud of him! We can't wait to watch him continue to progress. We trust Keiko completely and can't recommend her highly enough.

Dumpling has been barking, jumping, running towards the door and pulling on his lead for years and we thought it was too late for him to change. Keiko came and straight away identified why he was behaving that way and gave us the knowledge and skills that we could use and put into action immediately to help him. We couldnβt believe it, straight away he responded and became like a different dog! Weβve been practicing the things Keiko has taught us everyday and cannot wait for our follow up session! Itβs worth every penny!!

Although its only been a short period we can see the change in our dog as she learns where she stands in the chain of command.

Keiko - we cannot thank you enough! Your expert advice has been life changing!
Buddy responded to the training during the very first session. Buddy constantly pulled on the lead which made walking him very stressful but Keiko taught us how to manage Buddy properly and now we can walk him around the streets with ease and calmness!
His excessive and aggressive barking at people who walk past our house has greatly reduced (we are still working on this every day) and is something we were unable to control until Keiko showed us what to do!
I was absolutely blown away at the first session when Buddy responded to the training like a perfect angel.
Keiko has given us so many practical tools to use in our training with Buddy and it has made our lives so much easier and more enjoyable!
Keiko is worth her weight in gold, I will recommend her to everyone!

We enlisted Keiko's help with Frankie, our 4 year old English staffy, as her behaviour left a lot to be desired. Barking, pulling on her lead, poor recall and more. There were tangible improvements by the end of the first lesson, and we are 3 days on and I am genuinely stunned by the improvements Frankie has made already. I recommend Keiko's services, I only wish I had started this journey sooner.
