TheK9Way

I have a rescue that had unreliable recall, reactive on leash, and with no direction in improving. In the first lesson, Bastian fixed these problems within 5 minutes. Layla would also bark at neighboring dogs often, and he gave some advice which also fixed that problem within a day.Bastian was so good, that I ran out of problems to give him!I don't ever leave reviews, seriously, I'm too lazy for that, but I am genuinely impressed with Bastian and his services. If you want to have a better relationship with your dog, and be set up to have the KNOWLEDGE to have your 'dream' dog, then I would book 3 private lessons with Bastian.

After years of trying and failing to get our three dogs to not go completely mental any time anyone came near the house, Bastian's guidance had our three pooches calmer and less reactive within 24 hours. His is an holistic approach, looking at you and your dog's relationship and how any imbalances can lead to unwanted behaviours from them. We found Bastian to be very calm and knowledgeable and his methods effective. The dogs are already far more secure and relaxed, and we are all much happier as a result. Thanks, Bastian!

We couldnt have been happier with the service Bastian offered. He knows what he is talking about. showed us techniques that were very simple and easy to follow. Our dog is so much better since Bastian came around. You need a trainer to come to your home and see the dog in its enviroment. Bastian does that and i highly recommend him. Our dog was very aggressive when people came to the door. we were scared he would bite people. Bastian changed his behaviour. we can now have people over and not worry.

We are incredibly grateful for all of Bastians help and guidance. I wish we'd reached out sooner as his approach has helped to settle our 2 year old who struggled with seperation anxiety, stemming from various lockdown and moving house. We have already recommended him to another friend!

We could not be more thrilled with the outcome of our training with Bastian, our only regret is that we didn't seek training support sooner. After bringing our dog over from the US we had just settled into the fact that our dog's Shack's excited lunging on walks and aggressive barking at visitors meant we had to compromise our lifestyle to keep him from acting out. After the first 2 hour session with Bastian we quickly realized we didn't have to compromise our own lives to have a happy and obedient dog. After 3 sessions we feel like we have a new dog and can walk without fear of him acting out, leave him at home alone without incessant barking, and again have visitors over to our home. We acquired the tools and coaching needed to change both ours and our dog's behavior through training and would absolutely refer TheK9Way.

Bastian was an absolute star! I had been struggling for over a year walking my lovable pooch. Bastian very quickly explained what leash we should be using and how to get his walking sorted. I was SHOCKED! Literally within 30 seconds he had him walking, engaged, and focused (on him and not every other smell within a km radius). Highly recommend!!!

We’ve got 3 month old puppy (Low chen x Toy poodle)  who is high energy and biting and jumping up to get our attention.Bastian has changed his world on the first day when he came to our home.Our puppy learnt boundary within 24 hours by his training.He showed us how to train him, it was very simple and logical.We are very confident how to deal with our puppy now. Much appreciated what Bastian gave us the big result!Highly recommend Bastian for all dog owners.

Meet Bastian, Auckland's resident dog whisperer. We have two older shelter dogs who we love to bits but they came with a few bad habits. After one lesson with Bastian we realised that the dogs weren't so much the problem- we weren't telling them what we need in a way that they understand.They went from pulling on their leads like they wanted to take off to calmly walking on a lead within 20 minutes.In a month we went from having two manic dogs that barked and dug holes in the garden, whom we couldn't trust in our house, to having two calm and happy doggos that we now trust and leave in the house while we're out- without even a second thought. I never expected that the training would be that effective.Bastian is highly recommended and worth every cent!

we have seen such a huge change with our 11 year old dog. My partner and I adopted Marley from a Family member when they told us they didnt have the time for him and he had developed some less than desirable behaviors (lead aggression towards other dogs, pacing, obsessive licking and chasing shadows). We have seen such a huge improvement in behavior over the last few months. Would highly recommend Bastian
