Reviews & Testimonials For Keiko Ruwhiu

Keiko was amazing!

Keiko is wonderful. She is incredibly patient with owners that are learning to break bad habits alongside their dogs. She is very knowledgeable around the subject and conveys this clearly and concisely. Her lessons have bought back the joy of walking out dogs.

What a blessing Keiko was! Her calm and friendly demeanor was just what our puppy needed. Keiko explained everything to us with patience and visual as well as verbal examples so that we felt comfortable and confident in practising these techniques with our puppy. We have a much calmer home as there is now very clear communication which we all understand. I couldn't recommend Bark Busters enough, fantastic result after only one session. Thank you Keiko.

Liked the presentation and rational with the training tips. Made a big difference.

Kieko was great! She’s really knowledgeable and was really great with Lenny. It was only our first session and Lenny was already doing really well with the help of Keiko. I’m so excited to continue the training journey with her! Highly recommend!!

Keiko arrived at our place and thoroughly analysed our dogs behaviour and how we act to those behaviours. We saw massive improvements only in one session. Biggest thing for us was that our dogs started respecting us. We are looking forward to more sessions and can’t recommend Keiko enough.

We are very happy with Keiko. She is very focused and determined. She came to assess our dog for a court case we are in. If the trial goes well, we are keen to have some training sessions with Keiko.

I am grateful for the outstanding work of Keiko. Her patience, techniques, and clear communication made the training process enjoyable for both our dog and us. Her passion for understanding my dog's unique needs shines through, creating a supportive and encouraging environment. We will recommend Bark Busters services to anyone seeking a skilled and compassionate dog trainer. Thank you for making a positive difference in our lives and fostering a strong bond between us and our beloved dog!

Such an amazing first lesson. It’s great to have some tools to work with. Incredible to see the dogs responding so quickly.

Our 3yr much loved pittie cross was growling at visitors and final straw was snipping at a grandchild who was cuddling her. Our choice was to get formal training or to have her put down. While the cost was almost prohibitive, I worked extra hard to get it asap and can honestly say, after having just one lesson with Keiko, I would now pay twice or three times that, to save my dogs life. Right from the first lesson, we had a different dog. She went from disobedient, not listening, no recall, pulling on the lead, barking at everyone who walked past and wanting to kill every cat around, to a shockingly different dog. We are 4 days in now from the first lesson, and she is quiet, comes to her name, rarely barks, was super gentle with newborn baby the day after the lesson (no muzzle), friendly to strangers while on walk, no pulling on lead, stays on her mat inside instead of wandering around, friendly to our cat, but most of all ... she is actually listening to us. We had watched hundreds of dog training videos and tried all sorts of techniques, but was not prepared for how quickly our dog changed, we even waited 5 hours after Keiko left to see if she would put a paw wrong, so we could practice a correction, but... nothing, no bad behaviour. We have accused Keiko of swapping our naughty dog for a good dog in jest, because we are still so shocked at the sudden and it appears, permanent change in her, it has literally saved her life. Thank you Keiko, for gently showing us what we were doing wrong, and giving us a beautiful new dog!

I am very happy to having training with Keiko. Her knowledge is amazing and make me more confident. Looking forward to step up with Keiko.

Keiko is FANTASTIC! From the moment Keiko arrived, the training started. We could no believe the response we had from our dog who is 10 years old. Keiko's explanations make complete sense. Absolutely and utterly well worth every penny spent and highly recommend.
