Keith is amazing. Thanks to him, in a few hours we have a different 2-year old FrenchieX and we are trained to speak her language and correct her behaviour. I can't speak highly enough of Keith's training. He's equipped us with everything we need.

OMG we feel like this is life changing for all of us. We were on the brink of putting our lovely dog down due to his aggressive outbursts and after learning these farily simple strategies we have so much hope for a future with our dog. We accept he might regress, but we know to keep working on things. And I reflect on the behaviour of friends dogs, and while they might not get agressive they certainly show signs that could lead that way and their behaviour could so easily be corrected to solve the stress their owners are having. Life changing!!
Trainer note from Keith

I'm looking forward to your progress and helping when required as per our Life of the Dog Support Guarantee. Thank you.

Keith dealt with Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall
Our puppy Lilo is a handful but Keith worked patiently with us and gave us confidence that Lilo's behaviour will change with consistency. Keith is very passionate about what he does, hes very proactive and is very determined to help us train our puppy. We've seen changes in Lilo already after the first session, but most importantly Keith has given us useful tools and tips to help Lilo become a well behaved dog, and hope and encouragement that Lilo can change.
Trainer note from Keith
Thank you. It's been interesting working with such a hyperactive dog. She's a good dog and just needs to direct her energy in the right way. I'm glad you are finding the tools useful. Giving people encouragement, a plan, and hope is a major part of what we do. I appreciate your acknowledgement, it encourages me as well! Thank you.

Keith dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Separation anxiety
We are thrilled that we now have a settled and content dog who no longer regards herself as ‘in charge’ of the household. We highly recommend the training programme. It’s a life saver! Lucy is no longer barking at everything or attacking her brother or jumping up on us when we get home. It’s such a relief.
Trainer note from Keith
Thanks Catherine. It's amazing what a bit of leadership does to help a dog settle into a new home. And it goes to show that even a 7- year-old dog can learn new tricks. Well done everyone!

Keith dealt with Separation anxiety
Keith is friendly and low key. Was a great help with my dog. He responds quickly to email and texts and is willing and helpful to provide guidance and teaching. He is calm with the teaching, not making you feel you’re doing everything wrong but just gently directing to make corrections
Trainer note from Keith
Thank you, I'm really glad you appreciate my approach. And you're getting results. Keep up the good work!

Tiggy is quickly picking up the change of being boss and calling the shots. A lot of common sense, and easy to follow advice and so far the results are impressive.
Trainer note from Keith
With her humans Speaking Dog and doing leader things it is easy for her to do the right things. Less confusion, more obedience, more enjoyment. Great job.

Keith was absolutely amazing. We needed help with integrating our new puppy into the household with another dog and our baby (we are temporarily staying at family's place with their dog and there was a bit of biting going on from our pup) and helped us learn how to correct her behaviour in a more effective way than I have previously learnt in any puppy school with a dog i had many years ago. I absolutely love that his methods aren't food/treat driven and actually work. He explained things so well and thoroughly and answered all questions we had. He has set us up with so much information to be able to refer back to and read when needed and also given so many tips for our big move to another city. His knowledge and expertise have been absolutely invaluable to us. We can't recommend him enough.
Trainer note from Keith
Thank you, I'm very pleased it was helpful. Puppies often cause a lot of stress because people don't know what to do or how to deal with behaviours. Getting the right advice and guidance makes a huge difference so it's great that we've been able to bring a bit of sanity and calm to a stressful situation. Good luck with the move, you'll have my colleague there to continue the training and support. You're in very good hands. All the best.

Keith dealt with Toileting
Keith at Barkbusters helped me hugely with my 5 yr old dog who oddly started peeing inside at night. Now my dog is great at night with no problems!
Trainer note from Keith
Thanks for that. Toileting inside can be a challenging one to deal with but you've done well with the right help! Happy to help.

Thanks. Being a first time puppy owner can be a bit challenging. It's great that I was able to reassure you that you were doing good things and what the next steps are for moving puppy towards that Good Dog status. It's early days with this youngster and I look forward to the rest of the journey with you. You're off to a great start!

Keith is a font of knowledge! We really enjoyed his initial 3+ hour visit and we learned heaps. Our puppy, Beans, was a little unsure of the new stranger communicating with him in ways he wasn't used to - but in the few days since the session, Beans has come on heaps and we've also learned so much. Looking forward to learning more from Keith soon.
Trainer note from Keith
Thanks. Puppies are interesting, fun, and challenging , sometimes all at once! There's lots more change ahead of him and I look forward to working with you through those "interesting" times.

Rory is a friendly and well-natured dog; however, some of his behaviours had become increasingly challenging, to the point where walking him was no longer an enjoyable experience. He would frequently chase bikes and runners and was consistently pulling on the lead.
After Keith spent time with us, carefully explaining his approach and helping us to better understand Rory’s behaviour, our confidence has been restored. His guidance was clear, practical, and easy to implement.
We appreciate that meaningful change will require patience and consistency, but we feel well-equipped with the tools and knowledge Keith has provided. Although it is still early days, we are very optimistic about achieving positive, lasting results.
Trainer note from Keith
Thank you for this feedback. It's nice to know that explaining the approach helps with understanding and implementation. He has some interesting behaviours like chasing reflections amongst other things. He'll get better with your training and your consistency and persistence.
