Reviews & Testimonials For Keiko Ruwhiu

It was a great start to the training, Matilda is starting to change around, I feel more confidant and she is no longer the CEO, I realise there is a way to go but we had fabulous advise and its onwards and upwards, Keiko is great with Matilda and me. Lots to look forward too.

The followup session was very helpful. Keiko acknowledged the work we had done so far and made a plan for the coming weeks for us. Her practical tips make it easier to achieve goals. She has got a wealth of knowledge and offers help in area required.

Harley is an energetic pup but Keiko immediately showed me is manageable by using the techniques consistently.

Keiko was very helpful with our two unruly dogs. She explained everything in depth and ensured we and the dogs understood what she was asking of us. Ivy and Arlo responded very quickly to her techniques and we saw an immediate improvement, we are sure they are going to improve in leaps and bounds with our perseverance and Keiko’s guidance throughout this journey. It just goes to show old habits are breakable and your dogs can become what you want them to be! I highly recommend Keiko and her training services, she is very friendly and knowledgeable, we can’t wait for our future sessions with her.

My Twixie is a 5 year old Pekingese, he's very stubborn and ill-mannered. Keiko helped us stop his bad behaviour and turned him into a nice and well mannered dog. It's still work in progress but we started seeing great results from the first day.

Beau responded well in his first session with Keiko! Still a long way to go, but being able to have some control over his barking towards strangers is already a big milestone for us! Thank you so much! Looking forward to the future sessions with Keiko :)

Keiko has literally saved us. Our little boy was a mega handful. Barked all day and night, never listened, jumped, pulled the lead, ate all day. You name it he did it... Best investment I've ever talked the hubby into... even he is super impressed. Can't thank you enough.

Great first couple of training sessions with Keiko. We have done both online due to the lockdown and both have worked really well. Koda who is 4 months old is enjoying learning new techniques.

I made initial contact with Bark Busters as Lexi our teenager was giving us certain behavioural problems with Barking at anyone walking by being the Number 1 concern. Emails were exchanged with Keiko she duly turned up right on the dot of our home visit appointment. Introductions made and it was right down to business with her first lesson to us. She quickly pointed out who was in charge and it wasn't Jan or me. She proceeded to run through her presentation and gave a brilliant demonstration of her expertise having Lexi immediately stop in her tracks. Over the course of this first home visit, Keiko proceeded to expand on various aspects and by the time the visit was over we felt we had made some progress both to ourselves and Lexi. A month had gone by and Lexi had progressed brilliantly in several aspects of her behavioural problems that had been of concern to us however her "on guard I will protect you " issue was still a problem after we both felt it was starting to disappear but then turned on us. As we were in lockdown mode Keiko suggested a video conference meeting. Time was arranged and very quickly matters were chatted about and several missing links (due to us) were reestablished. The use, ease and effectiveness of the Video conference session cannot be underestimated and I would encourage anyone to use this facility. The points gained by us from Keiko are currently being employed and we are hopeful that the master and teenager positions in the house are reestablished in the order that they should be. I would highly recommend Keiko (and Bark Busters) to anyone who finds themselves having trouble with their dogs' behaviour. Michael

Thank you Keiko for reminding my who is the "pack leader" in my house. Your knowledge and sincerity in helping with Lockie has been a fantastic support to date. We had our first "post lock down" virtual lesson which worked incredibly well and just though new techniques, and reminding me of the older ones has been working extremely well so far. Even the training walk this morning went well and I'm not sure who was more exhausted!!

It was so good to meet Keiko for our first session, We met via Zoom as we are all in lockdown, it was almost as good as having Keiko in the same room. We fully understood her and the response from our puppy Asha was amazing. We have a much calmer puppy now and have some great tools to help manage her.

I was so impressed that my boys listened from the very first lesson, I do my 20 minutes each day we are getting there.
