The training provided was amazing, taught us so many things we had no idea about. it has only been a couple of days but Storm is already responding so well to everything we have been implementing. Such a relief to finally have some control over storm and the household is so much calmer and happier now that he is listening and responding to us. I will be recommending the training to other friends and family.
Trainer note from Keith
Thank you! Clear communication and an understanding of the principles of leadership are making it easy for him to be the Dachshund you want him to be. Well done all of you!! Don't forget, it is important to be consistent and persistent, they do test the boundaries every now and then to check that you're serious. The other dogs will be relieved to have a calmer happier home, especially at their ages. Calmer and happier dog = calmer and happier family!

Keith was excellent. A wealth of expertise and extremely helpful.
Trainer note from Keith
Thanks Jo, pleased to be of assistance. It's challenging having 2 puppies and then integrating a couple of much smaller older dogs into the house. I look forward to helping you more.

After just the first session I have my dog under control when out and about and he is so much better when encountering other dogs. No longer pulls on the lead and in general he is much more relaxed.
Trainer note from Keith
Thanks Sally. Nothing like some leadership and communication to help him understand what's expected and acceptable behaviour. Pulling on the lead and dog reactivity are challenging but with his strength it can be extra challenging! Fantastic response from him, and you. He knows how to do this, and so do you! Be persistent and consistent with the great work!

Great session with Keith. He has a great style and is very patient. We’ve seen some good changes with our Jack and still working on his barking.
Trainer note from Keith
Thanks Bob. Jack showed in the first session that he was understanding the new way things were being done. He'll become more relaxed and less reactive as you persist with the changes in your little interactions as well as the training exercises. I'm looking forward to seeing his progress.

My dog MaoMao is like the leader of the family. We are glad we engaged Trainer Keith. Trainer Keith is excellent: patient and knowledgeable. He demonstrated how to calm and train MaoMao. His method of teaching is very effective. He guided us well as first-time dog owners.
Trainer note from Keith
Thanks Dave. There will be some challenges with MaoMao so our Life of the Dog Support Guarantee gives you our backup and support for his lifetime. With the whole family onboard and the tools and techniques we've introduced you'll be able to manage him better, and he'll be happier and calmer. Happy dog, happy family! Everyone will be able to enjoy MaoMao, not be stressed about his behaviour. I look forward to seeing everyone's progress.

Great session with Keith and whilst it’s not yet been 24-hours, we’ve noticed changes with our Jack already. Less barking! He definitely responds to the correction technique and even managed to not bark at those walking past this morning. Had my first loose lead walk with Jack around the block. So refreshing. Thank you so much, Keith. We look forward to continuing the training with Jack.
Trainer note from Keith
Thanks Elaine. It's great to see a positive change so quickly. That clear communication and leadership means he understands what's required of him, and is responding appropriately. Jack's shown that he can do this, and so can you. I'm looking forward to seeing his progress. Be consistent, and persistent!

Your support and feedback helped a lot with puppy training. It has made it much easier to understand and manage him. You obviously like dogs and he picked this up.
Trainer note from Keith
Thanks Susan. I'm pleased to hear you're finding it easier to manage him already. I look forward to seeing his progress.

Keith was helpful and Pau is now becoming better behaved…slowly
Trainer note from Keith
Thanks James. He is certainly a determined and stubborn dog but as per my recent revisit under our Life of the Dog Support Guarantee you are making progress and he is getting better. He's still young as well, just going into his 'teenage' years. We can now focus on the more stubborn behaviours and progress will happen. It's a journey!

Simple process, easy to understand and use. "Real" trainer.
Trainer note from Keith
Thank you Wendy. There's a bit going on with Quinn but your reports show you're making good progress and can see the dog you want her to be. I'm pleased to be part of that and look forward to working more with you both.

Keith first made sure he understood my dog's behaviour and then patiently explained so many things related to dog behaviour, in order for me to understand the reason behind the behaviour, which was very helpful. He took his time and was not rushed, which gave the needed time to ask questions and discuss things.
Trainer note from Keith
Thank you Tania. I try to make sure people understand the 'why' of a dogs behaviour and then the 'how' of addressing it is easier, and it's easier to be persistent and consistent which are critical. I appreciate your feedback, it's great to know my approach is appreciated. Cheers. Keith

This was invaluable! It’s only been a few days and I’ve noticed a big change in Bowser. I am able to gain control and get him to listen to me when he starts to bark at whatever it is he’s decided he needs to bark at. The growl/clap escalation method is already understood and he listens before we get to the water spray moment. We’ve got more to work on, but I am so indebted to Keith, I can’t thank him enough for the advice and support.
Trainer note from Keith
Thanks Kim. It's very gratifying to get this feedback and to know that Mr Anxious is responding so quickly. He's got a way to go but his early responsiveness is a great sign he (and you) can do this!

Maz is responding really well to the Bark Busters training. She responds immediately to being corrected and already seems a lot more relaxed, less anxious. I’ve even found her sitting on the deck listening to the neighbours dog barking without making a sound, two weeks ago she would’ve been barking like crazy in return. I know we still have a long way to go but, WOW, what a difference already. I can’t thank Keith enough!
Trainer note from Keith
Thanks Tracey. That's excellent news. Well done you, it doesn't happen without work on your part. As the barking gets more under control the other behaviours will also get better as Maz accepts your leadership and the security that brings. I'm looking forward to seeing further progress when I visit Palmerston North next.
