Reviews & Testimonials For Catharina Jeffery

Excellent, immediate change in pups behaviour. More obedient and understanding of the pack hierarchy.

Jinty was a rescue dog and had very little training. When Catharina first came she/we established some rules around walking on leash and aggression towards other dogs. Over the past 12 months, Jinty has been great, but all training requires constant input from the owner and unfortunately I got a little slack. One contact with Catharina and she was back to refresh Jinty and I. Catharina is great, understands animals, and just as importantly humans!! I would recommend Catharina and the Bark Busters method of training to anyone.

Cat has got my dog and l speaking the same language. Walking is now relaxing. Kimba has stopped pulling. The harness works better than a choker with no stress on the neck. Kimba was a difficult dog at obedience classes but is now calm and focused. Dog training has become enjoyable. Thanks Cat.

I was at my wits end, I thought we would need to lose one if not both dogs. I thought one was completely un-trainable. I had tried a number of different methods and asked advice, nothing worked. Within the first 1/2 hour, Cat had my dog doing things that I had been unable to achieve for over a year. It all made sense, what I had to do and how to achieve it. I feel supported as I can call any time if I have an issue and don't know what to do. The children and a friend even noticed from day one how they have both changed and how much more relaxed naughty dog number 1 is.

Cat's training methods have completely changed the way we interact with our dogs, and almost overnight our household became much more relaxed. Cooper, our 17 week old pup, was having issues with aggression whenever he was adrenalised. After only a few days he is much easier to calm down and no longer snaps. The rough play he and big sister, Tara, were engaging in has settled down to a manageable level and I'm sure it will only continue to get better! By day two, Tara was walking perfectly on a loose lead and our daily walks have been such a joy compared to the way they were in the past. No more pulling and constant sniff stops. Both of the dogs are learning boundaries within the house. They are happy to sit on the edge of the kitchen when food is being prepared, even when it's their own meal time, instead of getting under our feet. We're still working hard on our front door training - visitors are exciting! - but they're slowly improving and are eager to please so I'm confident we'll have it nailed in no time. Training using Cat's method is so much fun. We're seeing such rapid improvement in the dogs' behaviour overall that training is no longer a chore. I can't wait until we're at the stage where Tara and Cooper can socialise with other dogs at the park. Because we back on to a busy dog park, one of Tara's biggest issues was fence guarding. She would bark incessantly at the park's busiest times, causing her a great deal of stress as other dogs frequently try to dig under our fence to get to her. Now, after only one lesson with Cat, Tara barks once and can quickly be stopped and called away from the fence and into the house without any issues. Thank you, Cat, for your invaluable advice. We're looking forward to our next lesson and doggie meetups in the future!

Cat worked her magic! She was really knowledgeable as she had the same issues with her own dog in the past! Highly recommend! Our dog showed massive improvement after only one lesson!

Cat was amazing. Her calm manner and approach absolutely turned Quinn's behaviour around in one training session. When I first rang Cat I had been in tears with Quinn's aggressive behaviour, but now feel hope that things can definitely be improved.

Cat was awesome with our anxious, jumping, chewing, digging dog Frankie. Cat went through everything with us in an easy to understand way and made it very hands on so that we were comfortable with the training techniques. We saw results instantly and the home training program makes it so easy to continue.

I wished I had found Cat sooner!!! I have been struggling for 4 years with Banjo being very reactive with other dogs, pulling on the lead and barking when excited. After one lesson with Cat, Banjo changed overnight it was incredible the difference. No longer pulls, walks off lead at my side, waits quietly when asked. He is getting better everyday and I can see he is a happier dog, always licking his lips when we are out and he is more focused on me. We discussed his diet and I have made changes to that also and included a supplement. I felt Cat was very easy to understand and made me feel comfortable getting the hang of the methods. I'm looking forward to Banjo's happy future as I feel I'm finally talking his language. 🐾💞

Cat was absolutely amazing with princess. Princess has some dog aggression issues and a few little things going on with her behavior. Cat came in explained everything very clearly and in a way i understood. After the first session with Cat i seen a massive improvement with princess and how we can communicate better and I now have a better understanding of my dog and the way she thinks .I'm really looking forward to my next session with Cat and continuing to build a better understanding with my girl .Without Cat i wouldnt be able to do that .i cant say enough good things about her ! Im over the moon i found someone who is not only caring but who has the tools and understanding to properly help us .
