It has been great getting help and guidance from Keiko with regards to our furry baby. Keiko's knowledge and expertise have helped us overcome issues like jumping, biting, pulling etc. and help us manage our dog better. As a result, we have a calm and happy dog which we are able to enjoy.
Trainer note from Keiko
Ruby (6 months old Labradoodle) responded to the training really well. I am very happy with her progress :) Keep up the good work!

Marks training session was extremely beneficial and we have had instant results by implementing his techniques. His training methods and plan were clearly explained, logical and easy to put in to practise in daily life without using treats. For the first time in two years I have been on a nice walk with my dog without being pulled down the street and she is generally calmer and happier around the home. I wish I had done this sooner!!

It was very impressive training Brownie with Mark. We could notice the difference right from the moment Mark entered the house. Mark helped me become Brownie's leader and even though Brownie is still a work in progress, she's much more calmer and obedient inside the house now. I've been able to establish a special bond with my dog over the last 3 months which I clearly struggled for the first 2 years (before we asked Barkbusters for help). Mark also went to the extent of offering us a second lesson on his subsequent visit to Wellington which is so much appreciated. I would strongly recommend Mark as an expert dog trainer and I wish I had contacted BarkBuster's a year earlier when Brownie was still a puppy. Also, the Barkbusters long leash and harness have been such a help in training Brownie to walk outside. Would also recommend both of them.
Trainer note from Mark
Brownie is a very exuberant young Rottweiller with very little know ledge of boundaries when I first visited. Now a much better behaved girl. Great work by the owners to apply the training technique to end up with a happy relaxed dog.

We have found our dog whisperer... her name is Keiko!
We could see results in the first training session with our 9 week old puppy, Bruno, and also our 14 year old dog, Sasha, who barks at anyone walking past the house. We were amazed how quickly Sasha responded to Keiko's command, and we are continuing with this and getting really good results. Thanks Keiko! Looking forward to more sessions with you.
Trainer note from Keiko
Bruno (9 weeks old Fox Terrier cross) and Sasha (Bull Terrier cross) responded to the lesson very well. With proper follow-through, you will be in a very happy place in a short amount of time. Keep up the good work!

Thomas is a very 'stubborn' puppy and Keiko has helped so much with working with him and teaching him some manners. He now sits and waits for his food, at the door and he is almost trained into his crate and the lead training is coming on well. Keiko helped us to understand the importance of being patient with Thomas and we are becoming very well trained.
Trainer note from Keiko
Thomas (8 weeks old Cocker Spaniel) responded to his sessions very well. He is still a young puppy so be patient. He will get there in time :) Keep up the good work!

Before Bark Busters, we had been having trouble with Potato barking at everything. With Keiko's help, he has improved so much from when he first started and is so much better behaved. We are very happy with his progress would highly recommend Keiko and Bark Busters!
Trainer note from Keiko

What an absolute pleasure to meet and work with Mark, the results were amazing within a few hours. Already the next morning Ziggi stayed out of the kitchen, as an example.
Trainer note from Mark
Ziggi is a 5mth old Lagotta x Poodle who although a pup needed focus and basics and had already started running the house in his loveable way. Ist of a few sessions for Ziggi as part of our puppy management program and lifetime support guarantee. Great work team Ziggi.

Keiko has been really helpful in training me! She has shown me how to "speak dog" so that our dogs Benny and Jet know what is expected of them. They are improving all the time, and I now have a range of strategies to use with them.
Trainer note from Keiko
Very happy that you understand how to communicate to Benny and Jet (6 months old Cavoodle brothers). They responded to the lesson very well. Keep up the good work!

It was great and very informative.
Trainer note from Keiko
I was very happy with the way Kasie (West Highland Terrier 15 months old) responded to her first session. She was confused about who is the boss. Keep up the good work!

Keiko was great! She taught us how to communicate with our boy Maxi. Her methods were very effective and gentle and we could clearly see positive results within our first training lesson. We couldn't believe how quickly Maxi responded to it. We still have quite a bit of work to do however I have no doubts that with the continuation of the training that Maxi will become more relaxed. We thank Keiko so much.
Trainer note from Keiko
You are welcome! I was very pleased with the way Maxi responded to the training. With proper follow-through, I believe you will be in a very happy place in a short amount of time. Keep up the good work!

We are so happy with the results from our Bark Busters training. We're only six weeks into our training and the transformation is amazing. We can't believe how quickly Whisky has taken to it. Keiko has given us new hope for a complete lifestyle change with our dogs so they can be much more a part of the family. We are so grateful for that.
Trainer note from Keiko
I am so happy for you! Well done :)
