Reviews & Testimonials For Keiko Ruwhiu

Right from the moment that Keiko arrived, she had a wonderful way with Pablo. He understood her way of communicating. After the first meeting Pablo now understands where we all stand in the pack and how to behave on walks (no pulling, waiting to get permission to cross the road or go through the gate), he doesn't feel he has to be the leader. Im looking forward to more meetings where we can work through his reactions to other dogs running at him!

Keiko was very clear and thorough with her advise and training. Freddie responded really well to the direction she was given. We feel like we are on the right track with her now and anticipate some good changes.

Keiko is magic. She was able to bring order to the chaos that erupts at our front gate anytime someone arrives, and our new puppy Luna was learning bad habits. The calmness that Keiko helped us achieve by teaching the humans of the house how to understand dogs was remarkable. So much help and information that has helped us to redirect behaviour and understand our dogs is priceless. An excellent investment!

Keiko was wonderful. She set the tone brilliantly and expertly explained how and why the system works. We are so looking forward to Briar becoming the best she can be.

My 5 year old Staffy/American Bulldog has been barking at every visitor coming through the door and every person walking past the house. A month ago she finally nipped at a visitor and that's when I knew I needed to do something. I did not know or have the tools on how to deal with this and I knew locking her in her crate each time a visitor came in was not fixing the root problem. Keiko was amazing, on the first day she established within a few minutes what was going on, that Delta was confused and was trying to be pack leader of our family. Keiko gave us the theory and practice needed to break Delta out of her barking frenzy, calm down and meet this new visitor completely calm and happy. It was amazing, a massive weight was lifted of our shoulders and it gave me the confidence to know everything was going to be ok. Keiko is worth every penny and I am so glad I called her in. We and Delta are much happier (and only after the first lesson!) and with the homework and lessons that will follow I'm looking forward to the new positive relationship we can have with Delta.

I am incredibly grateful for the amazing help from Keiko. My dog has issues with excessive barking, jumping, and anxiety at home and also during walks, with Keiko's guidance I noticed results from the very first session. Keiko's patience and professionalism were key. She taught our family effective techniques, and now we can communicate better with our dog and he behaves better. I highly recommend her services without hesitation!

Keiko has changed my life in 3 days. Our dog Loki was so aggressive with visitors that I was scared to ask people over. With a baby on the way I was starting to become very anxious about how I would handle the situation. On her first visit she taught us so much that we saw a huge change in Loki's behavior without treats or yelling. Her calm, clear, friendly manner and incredible depth of knowledge are exactly what we needed. A huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders now that I have Keiko’s strategies under my belt. I’m looking forward to learning more from her in our next lessons. My entire family is astonished by the results she has achieved in just 3 days since our first lesson. Loki seems so much happier and calmer too.

Thank you so much Keiko, after just one session Poppy is a much happier, calmer dog, I wouldn't believe the results if I didn't see them for myself! Our training sessions are so much more enjoyable now that we're speaking the same language.

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.
