Reviews & Testimonials For Keiko Ruwhiu

Keiko gave a very clear understanding for us to understand by showing us how to do things. Nala had already learnt some things we wanted her to improve on. Keiko's demonstration to have Nala follow commands was inspiring for us and not to give up. Training was very good, everything about puppy behaviours and why the do or act in ways was very well explained and gave us a better understanding on how to get Nala to have manners and behave well.

We were very happy with the techniques Keiko showed us. The dogs responded well when we used them. Cooper is going to be a large dog so we needed him to obey our commands. Thank you Keiko!!

The training was fantastic. I have noticed a major improvement in the dogs already. They don't bark when we leave the house anymore or when someone comes to the door. Keiko was great at explaining why our dog was behaving like he was.

The training was great it was very informative and any questions or concerns we had were answered and dealt with at the training. The boys made progress and responded on the first training session I was very impressed.

Keiko is fantastic! Buddy has not been an easy puppy and she has been so helpful. She has an amazing calmness that rubs off on animals and humans alike.

The training was good really helpful.

Very good training. It was excellent learning for us. Thanks.

Absolutely fantastic.

Minutes after Keiko walked in through the front door, Teddie started to show amazing changes in his behaviour. Keiko throughly explained to us why we needed to do certain things and how to do these things and they have helped us a lot. She is amazing to talk to and answers any questions you've got, which we think is a real good quality in a dog trainer! Teddie has shown so much change so far and I'm hopeful that he will be the amazingly disciplined dog we need him to be, thanks to Keiko! We would highly recommend her to anyone!

Keiko is an excellent trainer! She has changed my life! She has taught me and my dog so many things. I never thought Missy could change and she has changed for the better. Missy used to be the dominant one in the family but now I am. She used to be so disobedient, hypo, it would be a mission trying to play with her because she would never return her toys simply, wreck my kids toys, never listen, always up to mischief and now after training with Keiko she is a changed dog. Missy is so calm, doesn't wreck anything anymore, drops her toys in front of me when we play catch, stays in my property and so many things. This has changed our life for the better. Keiko is excellent with communication she always returns my calls or texts immediately. Keiko is such a lovely person and really cares about my dog. We are going through a hard time at the moment with council and Keiko is going to the extreme for us to help me save my dog. She is a wonderful lady and excellent dog trainer!! I highly recommend Keiko. Thank you Keiko for everything you have done for us not to mention the value for money is outstanding!! Very happy with everything!

The techniques were explained and demonstrated. We notice the difference by the end of the training, he is a different dog. We are over the moon, small changes but big difference. We really enjoyed the training and found it very valuable. 100%

Before we started with Keiko we were at our wits end with Beau. We went to puppy training classes, hired a trainer for a one off session, did an online course and looked obsessively on the internet for advice. We felt out of our depth as Beau is an anxious dog who copes by barking at noises, visitors, other dogs and any stimulus which upsets him. Keiko arrived and sat down with Beau inside the front door. Within a few minutes she had gained control of his barking. She stayed for several hours, and after she left I felt I had a simple, effective way to be in charge of Beau. It is now 2 months later, and he is a different dog. He is quiet in previously stressful situations, which I thought I would never see. When new problems crop up, Keiko is there to walk us through the solution, either on the phone or by visiting. I feel I am in good hands with her because when she goes home, the skills she has taught me still work. Keiko is calm, detailed, and patient. I can see she is committed to working with me until problems are fixed, which is very reassuring as I am a first time dog owner, starting from scratch in building my skills as a dog parent! Having Keiko has allowed our family to enjoy our dog again and feel in charge of him.
