Keith is extremely thorough. I’ve had many trainers over the years, but none like Keith is patient very full of information very seasoned and you can tell. He deeply cares over his work and the welfare of the dogs… we saw amazing changes immediately and we were so taken back in a good way. I would highly recommend Keith 110%.!!! it was a pleasure to have him here and work with our pup. He made amazing changes with Rocco.!!! all I could say to anyone out there don’t waste your time and call Keith!! The Socoloski Family🐶🐶🐶😃😃😃
Keith was awesome! In just one lesson we already have Georgia recognizing her role in the pack better. We have 4 dogs and the basics we learned for Georgia in thet first puppy lesson are already helping with it being a calmer experience to enter our house with less crowding ad barking. Georgia is eager to learn, Keith us very calming and in-tune with the pups. Highly recommended.
Keith truly has a way with dogs—he establishes clear leadership and helps Jaxson, our German Shepherd, understand what’s acceptable and what’s not.
He taught us effective methods to get Jaxsons’s attention - it’s all about how you communicate with your dog, and Keith helped us understand that. He also showed us exactly what to do when Jaxson pulls or barks during walks, and the improvement has been amazing.
Keith is incredibly patient, approachable, and always available if we ever need a refresher. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for real results with their dog!
Keith showed us great training techniques to use with Willie. Initially Willie was showing fear aggression with barking, growling& lunging while on leash. Within the 2+ hours he was off leash , fully relaxed ,basically ignoring Keith. I am definitely pleased and will continue to work on the techniques he showed us. I highly recommend Keith and Bark Busters.
Keith was so good with our two pups. Our dog moose had shown previous signs of aggression and barking with strangers and in just one session we saw so much improvement. Would absolutely recommend to friends. Thank you!
Keith did a fine job of educating us about how to manage our young dog, as well as introducing our dog to the relationship between owner and pet.
Within our initial two hour meeting we had our dog walking beside us instead of pulling us along! We also learned how to manage the relationship between owner and pet which resulted in our dog eager to please us by staying within the boundaries we set.
I would highly recommend Keith. His patience, knowledge and ability to communicate with our dog has transformed our house and relationship with our dogs.
Keith is an excellent dog trainer with a very calming presence. Our dog, Juno, was having issues with fearfulness, going on walks, as well as barking at passersby and when we took out the trash. He came for a 2-3 hour initial session and we immediately saw improvement with Juno. She was calmer and more responsive to us. He taught us very helpful techniques and tools that we can use in a variety of situations. He also modeled calming and consistent behavior for us to use with our dog. We are now able to much more easily walk her in the neighborhood. We also are able to do everyday activities such as taking out the garbage with Juno being much calmer and barking less. Consistency is the key to success. We appreciate Keith's follow-up and ongoing availability and tips to address issues as they arise. We highly recommend Keith!
It was amazingly simple and effective to use the totally humane corrections we were taught (it's more owner training than dog training, but it's painless and effective). One walk in the park and the problem behavior totally disappeared. The dogs are so much better behaved, and taking them out is vastly less stressful than it was the day before. Worth every penny, because the lessons are for life!
Keith is an excellent dog trainer and I highly recommend him! When I was debating hiring someone I was reading through these reviews and everyone said their dog was 90% better after the first training session and I thought they were all crazy! My dog was biting and growling so I had no hope that would go away. However, after that first session I can attest that was all it took. Keith is so hands on in not only the training but on the education as well. He's very smart and completely transformed my dog. His weekend and night time availability was so convenient and worth every penny. I’m so grateful to have my dog back. I know this seems like a paid review but I truly mean all of this. If you're having issues with your pup, he is the guy to reach out to! Thank you Keith.
Keith brought peace of mind to me and our family. After our Norwegian Elkhound passed, we waited three years to get a new dog. We chose a French Bulldog, Lyra, and for just over a year we were loving living the Frenchie life. But, we still talked about adding another dog to our family.
In the beginning of January, we took in a 10 month old Belgian Malinois/Dutch Shepard mix who needed to be re-homed. We named her Jade. As you may have guessed, life as we knew it was flipped completely upside-down.
Lyra is a calm, chill, easy going, snuggle bug who loves to cuddle. Jade, on the other hand, is pure energy. She needs to run and play and she needs to work and be trained. I was having a very hard time coping with the change. I couldn't get her house trained and she was making a mess of our home. I couldn't figure her out. Despite having trained my Elkhound years ago, I didn't know what to do now.
I wasn't sure we had made the right decision taking Jade in.
We researched trainers and called a few, including Keith.
Keith was very understanding and he was willing to answer some questions and even put up with me calling him twice in one hour before we even scheduled our first visit.
Keith arrived with a presentation, materials, training tools, knowledge, and compassion. He taught us about pack behavior and how to communicate with our dogs. He was reassuring that we could do this and that Jade would become a part of our pack.
We put what he taught us into practice right away. The best part (for me, anyway) was that, after he left, I was able to text him with questions and ask for advice and he was right there with support and helpful answers.
My anxiety had been through the roof before he came and after using the tools and knowledge Keith provided, even he saw the change in, not only the dogs, but in me when he came back for his second visit.
I highly recommend Keith. His knowledge and methods are excellent and the peace of mind he brought to our home is priceless.
