Reviews & Testimonials For Keiko Ruwhiu

We were absolutely overjoyed and amazed at the difference in our dog after just a few hours with Keiko. Even a day later it feels like we have a different dog, even though we know there's lots more work to do. If you're on the fence at all about calling BarkBusters please do it. Keiko was very friendly and professional and made the whole process of understanding why our dog acts the way he does very engaging and intuitive.

Fabulous first session with Keiko. We’ve learnt so much already and have noticed a difference in our boy’s behaviour after just one session. We look forward to seeing the results after completing his 6weeks of home practice. Keiko made the whole experience enjoyable and provided loads of information and tools for support. We would highly recommend her.

We are very happy with our first training session. We have been two other trainers and this one is outstanding in comparison. Keiko is patient, and calm and does not encourage shock therapy or aggression toward our dog - which is what the other two previous trainers recommended. The whole experience from online enquiry, information call back from Keiko, set up of first training, payment, and also aftercare has been amazing and we cannot fault this company at all. Keiko you are outstanding at what you do and we are super grateful for the information you have given us to be able to understand our dog a whole lot better! We know to maintain what was taught we need to consistently adhere to what Keiko has taught us but we are also very grateful that Keiko is just a call/email away if we need to ask questions or re-set. Highly, highly recommended!

One amazing lady who taught us soooo much, very grateful for her advice.

Keiko has been absolutely amazing for us and our pup Ralph. We were able to see differences immediately following the first training session and we feel confident that in time, we will see great results. Keiko is very knowledgeable and friendly and she has given us plenty of tips, tools and techniques to improve our dogs behaviour. We feel we are in safe hands and highly recommend her to anyone needing some help with their pup.

Excellent training session with Keiko. Lulu responded straight away to directions. I learnt a lot too.

I booked in with Keiko after a phone call. She did explain what to expect, but I was surprised with the first lesson. 2/3rds of the first lesson wasn't to train the dog, but to train the humans! I thoroughly enjoy the presentation on all things we need to know about dogs and their pack. How dog mommy teaches their pups and how we can do the same and be the alpha. I am pleasantly surprised with how much Cricket has learnt and changed just from the first lesson where Keiko spent about an hour with Cricket and myself. Her biggest issue has been dog aggression and pulling on lead. She has improved significantly on lead, we are yet to move on to the dog reactive session yet. I look forward to seeing Keiko again.

What an amazing experience this has been. Despite owning dogs before (and struggling with training methods) we were unsure how to proceed with a new Dachshund puppy of 14 months. We had attended a course for puppies with a group of 6 others but the individual coaching in our home with Keiko surpassed anything else that could be offered. Not only did she deal with the specific problems we had but the reinforcement of her ideas in the written form was so very useful in the months following. A 2nd session with Keiko at our home, reinforced all these ideas and dealt with some more specific problems we still had. We are about to organise our 3rd session now that we understand our dog's nature better. We heartedly recommend Keiko, expensive but DEFINITELY worth it!

I was feeling a bit out of control with my 4 month old German Shepherd puppy. He was intrusive, stealing things and hyperactive at times. Keiko had helped me in the past with another dog which had been very helpful, so even though Oscar has a fairly calm temperament, I decided to call and get an early handle on his behaviour. Keiko gave an excellent presentation using her iPad followed up with one on one instruction with Oscar. She gave me a much useful help on establishing leadership along with homework and instruction to arrange a follow-up appointment. I found our interaction encouraging and I’m feeling much more confident about my relationship with my puppy. I would happily recommend Keiko to anyone who is feeling in need of help with their dog.

I highly recommend Keiko, she is amazing. I was impressed with how well my pup responded to her in our first session. The knowledge Keiko has shared has changed how I communicate with my puppy Coco. The methods work, all it takes is time, patience and consistency. I have seen improvements with Coco in such a small amount of time and feel even more confident having the expertise of Keiko guide me through this exciting journey.

Keiko was incredible! Very assertive, professional and friendly. Keiko came recommended by a colleague and we are pleased we took the advice. Would recommend to anyone.

Excellent first lesson. Keiko is very informative and professional. The methods demonstrated are effective and easy to follow. Our dog Timmy responded very well!
