Keiko was absolutely amazing. She made it so easy and enjoyable. I'm so relieved I found Bark Busters and I can’t wait for our follow up training session. I’ve been recommending Keiko and Bark Busters to everyone I meet with a dog. Simply amazing Thank you

22nd October 2025 - Keiko Ruwhiu

Keiko dealt with Barking, Pulling, Recall

We recently had a session with Keiko to help us with our 6-year-old dog Jerry who is the alpha of our two dogs and after one session we are genuinely impressed by the results. We noticed a remarkable change in Jerry's responsiveness and overall demeanour. Keiko is very intuitive, and clearly experienced. She quickly identified the root of the behavioural issues and tailored the approach to suit Jerry's personality and needs. But what really stood out was realising that we needed training too. Keiko didn’t just work with our dog β€” she helped us understand how our own actions and communication were affecting the situation. We feel much more hopeful and empowered as dog owners. Highly recommend to anyone looking for effective and compassionate dog training.

Thank you for taking time to leave a review Kristal! I was very happy with the way Jerry (7 years old, Pomeranian cross) responded to his first session. And great to hear he is doing so well. Keep up the good work! He was confused about the rules and boundaries. Now he has leaders who understand him better!! My help is always available for you and Jerry 😊

Keiko dealt with Aggression, Barking, Chewing, Digging, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Puppy management, Recall, Separation anxiety

When we got Bella, our rescue pup, she had severe separation anxiety which manifested in chewing/destroying items around the house (including the couch!) and could be very defensive and showing aggression, particularly with strangers. She also had a tendancy to jump and be overly needy. One session with Keiko and she showed immediate obedience and capacity to learn within minutes of instruction. With Keiko's help we've really turned things around. Bella has learnt to cope with separation and she's developed a lot of great skills including recall, focus and food control. Ongoing sessions with Keiko keep us moving towards ideal & consistent dog behaviours and we couldn't recommend Bark Busters and Keiko more highly.

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

Working with Keiko from our first lesson gave me a true understanding of the real relationship between dogs and their owners and from that I saw results almost immediately. Within a week Harley has improved in all areas of concerns. I am following Keiko’s instructions daily and can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I honestly wish that I had called her sooner.

12th August 2025 - Keiko Ruwhiu

Keiko dealt with Jumping up, Puppy management, Separation anxiety, Toileting

Keiko started educating us how to manage our first ever puppy, 13 weeks old. He’s been getting big, strong and showing his strong will everyday. His separation anxiety is particularly getting worse and this issue is the top priority to manage. Charlie responded Keiko right away and we’ve got lots of practice to do. It is very good system that we can reach out to her if we need her help. We look forward to see our progress and achieve our goal, happier puppy and human.

My help is always available for you and Charlie 😊
