Reviews & Testimonials For Keiko Ruwhiu

Keiko is wonderful. This is the second dog she’s helped me with. She’s concise, makes sure I understand everything and I enjoy working with her. Doing my homework now!!

I was amazed to see how Spike responded to the trainer’s voice from the moment she walked through the front door. The collar she gave me was an instant success, for some reason my dog prefers it to the harness and tries to get it on himself. He walks much better with the Bark Busters collar. I couldn’t believe how well my dog responded to the Bark Busters way and how focused he was on the trainer for three hours.

This is an amazing service, the trainer gave us loads of helpful training methods which have worked wonders with our dog. She was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions when needed. Best dog training service that we could have asked for.

Keiko spent 3 hrs at our home with Peanuts (large border terrier x, rescue dog). Keiko gave a very impressive no nonsense verbal and physical demonstration of what to expect from our dog and how to achieve it. At the end of the session we had gained the confidence we needed on how to manage and train our dog. This was so effective that Peanuts became a different dog on her future walks and the stress of unacceptable behaviour was removed from us by knowing what to do and knowing Peanuts would respond. We were provided with notes for daily training and a correct lead. This has all resulted in a happy dog and owner.

I found the training really easy to use and was amazed at how quickly Lucy responded. I think it is a good program and feel comfortable using it. I have shown my husband how to use it and we will continue with the daily training.

We had an extremely positive first session with Keiko. Murphy responding well to the adjustments Keiko showed us and we're looking forward to reinforcing these in the coming weeks.

Your service is excellent.

Amazing training session. Keiko provides good practical advice from day 1. Already feeling more comfortable and confident with our beloved dog.

Keiko is always really prompt and clear with communication. This was my third or fourth appointment for Grace and Keiko is very encouraging of upholding the lifetime support guarantee. I really appreciate this integrity. Keiko is a very comfortable person to be around and makes it ok to be able to share all the ups and downs in the journey of dog ownership. When I moved with my dog from Australia to NZ my dog became really anxious and Keiko has been a critical part of our journey in overcoming this anxiety. Thank you Keiko! You are amazing!!! From us Melody and Gracey

We were very pleased with the training! Keiko was so helpful and knowledgeable, she thoroughly answered all the questions we had. We learnt a lot about how to communicate better with our dog and are looking forward to training him (and ourselves) better!
