Reviews & Testimonials For Keiko Ruwhiu

We were really impressed by Keiko. We saw a different side of our dog within minutes, and today (less than 24 hours later), he is behaving much better already.

We have had very good training session and guidance from Keiko. She makes it easy to train a dog and gives us good strategies and practical tips on how to walk our dog. She follows up on training visits and willing to accommodate to suit our schedules. Keiko has a good over knowledge about dogs, and their behaviour patterns and training.

Keiko was very good. We are happy to finally communicate effectively with our dog.

Training was excellent and very easy to understand for all the family.

This has been great - we have really noticed such a difference in the behavior of both our dogs. It's really important to practice the techniques you learn with your dogs regularly to get the full benefit but when you do it really works.

It was quite a lot to learn, but the theories made sense and our dog responded incredibly quickly. They also have a lifetime support guarantee so if we continue to have difficulty/new issues pop up etc. we will always be able to nip it in the bud. We have asked the trainer, Keiko, questions already even though our training session was yesterday and she responded promptly and with a lot of detail. It really is true that it's more about training the humans than the dogs. Thank you for training us and committing to continue to train us!

We loved seeing Keiko again and learning how to speak dog again it’s certainly working for us all. We are all really enjoying our walks again now-Sharyn

I don't know where to start, Keiko was amazing! Within our first session of 3 hours, we noticed the biggest change in our dog Blaze. Blaze would act quite aggressive towards strangers and visitors to our house, jump up at us, bark at other dogs and noises and run off if we left the ranch-slider open. Since Keiko, Blaze now does not respond aggressively to visitors at the door, he is not barking at strange noises or dogs, he will not jump up on us and we can know walk on our deck with the ranch-slider open and Blaze will not run outside. Within 24 hours Blaze is a different dog and more relaxed and I can only imagine what he will be like as weeks go by continuing training. Thank you Keiko!

Ella's inside behaviour with us was completely different to her outside behaviour to others. Our sweet 1yr old Lab X had a bark that was quite scary for the people walking past our gate. Keiko saw this and explained everything about what Ella was thinking. Within 1hr Ella changed. This was not just training for Ella but for us as well. Keiko also helped Ella with her lead walking and focus whilst walking. Gone is the pulling and going towards all she sees. The things we learned are now in practice. Keiko helped us to understand Ella and to speak dog. We are so happy with this change and will recommend Keiko to others who need a hand with their furry member of their family.

A miracle happened in our house yesterday. Keiko very quickly showed us how to communicate with our dogs effectively, getting them to respond correctly and all in a couple of hours. They no longer jump up, bark randomly, pull on their leads or jump on the furniture. They are happier and now know who’s the boss. All achieved without treats - just simple techniques that work. If I hadn’t seen this for myself I would have been very cynical. Worth every cent! Thank you Keiko!

The training gave us some really useful tools but more importantly it gave us hope that we would be able to work with our dogs to solve the problems we were having.

The training was amazing, Keiko our trainer gave us a better understanding of our dogs and brilliant techniques. With just 5 minutes into the training our dogs responded to the techniques quickly much to our surprise. Just over 2 years we have raised our dogs with no training what so ever and we would of never thought we could accomplish what we did with only just one lesson. Our dogs are a lot more calmer, they don’t bark, have learned to sit and have stopped jumping up. Extremely happy with everything we have learned so far and we are definitely looking forward to our next lesson. Thank you again Keiko and the Bark Busters team.
