16th October 2026 - Keiko Ruwhiu

Keiko dealt with Aggression, Barking, Pulling, Puppy management, Recall, Separation anxiety, Sibling rivalry

We really enjoyed our time with Keiko. Instructions were clear and doable for our whole whānau which is important to us. We understand that the training must be consistent in order for it to be successful. Kaiko took the time to work with us in a thorough, respectful way.

- A.B, Auckland (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Keiko
Thank you Anna! Great to hear you and your family understood humans have to understand about dogs before we teach them to behave better. Raurau (4 years old Shar Pei cross), Wharua (6 Months old American Staffy) and Akau (6 months old American Staffy) understand who is in charge now. I was very happy with the way they responded to their first session. Keep up the good work! 😊

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

Keiko really made us feel at ease with our training plan. I was gob-smacked at the immediate response from Mabel & how well she's responding to the training. It really is simple - it's just knowing the right things & that's why I have full trust in Keiko helping us on our training journey. Seeing the change in our girl has made us so happy.

Keiko was excellent. After only one session our puppy Daisy is doing remarkably better. I look forward to more sessions with Keiko as she is very knowledgeable and clearly cares about her clients and more importantly their Dogs.

4th August 2026 - Keiko Ruwhiu

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!

27th July 2026 - Keiko Ruwhiu

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.

Trainer note from Keiko
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 dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Pulling, Separation anxiety

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.
