Reviews & Testimonials For Keiko Ruwhiu

Keiko was extremely helpful, thorough and explained everything in detail. She was firm with both the humans and animals which helped me understand that the way I was treating my dogs was detrimental to their well-being, ie; spoiling and not giving clear instructions and boundaries. I really appreciate her assistance and will ensure that we continue with the homework she has left us.

The training so far has been easy to understand and simple to follow. Our dog currently has habits like pulling lead, nervous barking and sometimes, jumping up, that we are thankful to say he is already learning not to do. As pack leaders, we have been able to address these habits (and more) with the help of Keiko at Bark Busters. Even in the very first lesson, we already saw a change in our dog's response to us as dog owners - his respect towards us is more obvious now. In all honesty, we already thought our dog had good listening skills and a teachable nature... But it's Bark Busters that's giving us the knowledge we need to unlock his full potential as a GREAT family dog. We owe it to our dog to be the pack leaders he looks for us to be, and to bring out the absolute best in him. We also know that what we learn with Bark Busters for our current dog can be applied to every dog we decide to adopt in future.

The training was really helpful - we have already learnt so many techniques to help us with Gary's behaviour issues that we had been happening, and she is so much happier now that we understand her better and she understands us better. Thanks Keiko - we cannot wait to see the end results with Gary from the trainings :)

Keiko was excellent. We saw a huge improvement in our dog after the first lesson. We're now confident in continuing the training with the dogs.

Amazing results! Saw results within an hour of training! Thank you!

It was a good first session and gave us more of an insight into the thinking of a dog. I think we do things without thinking about it and also didn't understand why she did certain things or reacted in certain ways. We are only on day 2 but can see there is alot of work we need to do to help break some of these habits. The training gave us some good exercises on ways that we can achieve this.

From the moment Keiko walked through our door she was fantastic. Keiko immediately began to point out aspects of Pablo's behaviour in a way in which we could understand, and started to demonstrate techniques that would assist us to properly communicate with him from the minute she walked through the door! Keiko was clear with her directions, encouraged us to immediately participate and actively welcomed questions. Her advice was comprehensive, really interesting and provided us with a lot to think about, with a focus on Pablo's holistic wellbeing (diet, excercise, entertainment, communication, etc). Keiko encouraged us to call her anytime if we had any queries, left us with reading material, and followed up on Pablo's progress. Pablo has been responding really well to all the exercises Keiko has recommended and we are very happy with his progress. We are all really looking forward to meeting with her again and have been recommending Bark Busters to all of our friends with dogs. Thank you Keiko :-)

We've battled for years and thought our dogs were untrainable but what Keiko showed us in just a few hours was amazing! We've enjoying putting the Bark Busters techniques in to practice and loving seeing the results.

Keiko made us look at what to look for. Easy instructions and we understood what we had to do. We were surprised and ever so pleased with the training. It is stress free with no physical demands. Very user friendly. Bark Busters is a great way to help owners with their pets. Good advise and we get to have a happy dog. We know it is up to us to keep the training up. Even his behaviour was noticed by my family members as to how quick the program works.

Keiko has a very clear and precise style which is very easy and clear to follow. She gets results that we are able to reproduce without being experts like Keiko! We are thrilled with Loki's progress and with the training we have received from Keiko.

Bark Busters were just what we needed and the price for two dogs is quite reasonable we thought. We were very happy with the help we received from our trainer Keiko Ruwhiu. The dogs behaviour is improving but there's still a way to go yet.

Very informative. Easy to follow and understand. Suitable techniques for all the family .
