Reviews & Testimonials For Keith Mockett

Keith was great. Spent time discussing what we needed to do. Its only been 3 days with us being consistent and the difference is amazing. Looking forward to the next session

In early 2026 I moved houses, away from a quiet off-street standalone house, to a multi-flat building on a busy street. The move was stressful for my dog, Arlo, who had her entire routine disrupted and had a new life in a house which smelt different, and where she could constantly see people and cars going past. She was stressed, and with moving being chaotic for myself her routine became incredibly disrupted. She was freaking out about being in her crate (and thus sleeping in my bed every night), pulling on walks and barking at other dogs and men, barking at anyone who walked past the house, and howling, barking, shaking, and running around anytime I tried to leave. I became trapped in my own house, having to cancel plans or only able to attend places she could come with me out of fear of annoying my neighbours with her non-stopping barking and howling when I was away. I had to keep the curtains constantly closed so she wouldn't bark at the people going past, and had my sleep constantly disrupted as she lay in bed next to me snoring and kicking me in her sleep. Having engaged Bark Busters back in 2021, and I contacted Keith who had availability to come over a few days later to help me reclaim a sense of normality. We went over different techniques to reinforce myself as the leader, and the expectations of Arlo. Over the few days after meeting with Keith, and continuous and consistent reinforcement of Arlo's behaviour as directed by him, Arlo was a new dog. She started sleeping in her crate again with no issues, walking at heel the entire time, sitting and watching people walk past the house without a single bark, and overall being a much more relaxed dog. Three days after my appointment with Keith, I was able to leave the house for several hours, and Arlo did not bark or howl once. Through watching her on cameras I saw her look out the window before curling up and sleeping for the majority of the time I was away. Regardless of me being away from one hour or ten hours, she was content and happy to remain by herself. Even more amazingly, while I was not there she would watch people walk past the house and not bark at them! I was able to start going out again and trust that she would be well behaved and the curtain could finally remain open. I can sleep throughout the night with her fast asleep and safe in her crate. She's a different dog to what she was when I initially moved. Prior to Keith coming over, I honestly thought I would not be able to ever properly leave my house again. I was stressed about being able to go to work, and was looking into paying a lot of money for doggy daycares or someone to come pet sit just so I could leave the house. So not only did Keith make Arlo a much more happy, relaxed, and trusting dog; he also saved my sanity and saved me a lot of money.

The barkbusters techniques and tips were easy to learn and implement and worked brilliantly with our canine friend. Close to six months on, we are still seeing great results and when things slide a little, we know it’s always down to our own consistency. With a little effort, we get right back on track. Thanks Keith!

Excellent first session with Keith. Just going over the basics and some Q&A.

We really enjoyed the training, we now understand how leadership is the most important factor. We are really happy how quickly Yoto's behavior has changed. Keith did a great job to explain the training exercises. I definitely recommend Bark Busters if you are having issues with your dog.

Keith was amazing. Dogs were so calm with him and he trained us well! In one week the difference in our puppies is amazing

Keith is a great communicator. His knowledge, reassurance and support made me at feel at ease and confident in my ability to train my dog. The results are amazing.

We had a really great and meaningful first session with Keith, he was able to develop our learnings and knowledge on our dogs behaviour, but also help us implement trainings and techniques to correct behaviours! I would recommend Keith to any friends or family who are looking to support with their dogs
