Reviews & Testimonials For Catharina Jeffery

All the training was explained, and it was easy to follow. Dexter had changed by the first lesson, and it was amazing how he responded.

I didn't believe that Catharina could help with hyperactivity - she hasn't met my dog! Well was I wrong! One session with Catharina, four days into my 6 week program and Remy is walking on a slack lead towards the beach without doing backflips! She taught me how to be in control Remy rather than Remy controlling me. She also helped with additional tips for our older dog and improving Remy's interaction with her, given the older dog's arthritis.

We just had our first session with Catharina and it went so well - I learnt many simple but effective techniques to help with my dog's behavioural problems - I can see the light at the end of the tunnel now! I think our home is going to be much happier for both humans and dogs from now on.

Training was very good.

Good display and teaching of basic obedience techniques, and discussion of puppy and dog needs. Also satisfactorily addressed misbehaviour of jumping up and play biting.

Catharina was awesome she was so calm and professional with both Jarrah and ourselves. She made it so easy to understand and Jarrah has taken to the instructions very quickly.

I have enjoyed the training given by Cat and it is proving to be helpful with my dog so far. We have only just started so Kyro has a way to go but Cat is very patient and understanding .

Very informative and helpful. The trainer was patient and able to answer the many questions I had.

Catharina is amazing ! She has brought comprehensive and extensive knowledge to us and our puppy in the areas of behaviour and training. We instantly have seen improvements and for want of better words, harmony has been restored ;.) She has inspired us with the techniques bark busters use and really shown us an effective way of communicating with our dog. Catharina has given us enough tools in a short space of time, to ensure our puppy grows into a well balanced and happy dog.

I HAVE A DIFFERENT DOG! Actually, within the first hour of training with Catharina, I had a different dog. The training was so effective and I honestly believe this is primarily because of Catharina's approach and direction. She did not judge or try to correct/point out my failures, but rather jumped straight in with a "clean canvas" and we started from scratch. I feel that she has restored my confidence as a dog owner and has also instilled that sense of leadership in me, which Augie has responded to. I cannot thank her enough because as a person who has always had dogs, I was saddened to think I might not have them ever again as I was struggling with Augie. Augie himself took to the new way straight away and apart from a few minor jump ups and forgetting manners now and then at the door, he understands what is expected of him and follows through. Lead training got a bit boring by end of two weeks, as he did all the right things so there was nothing for me to correct him on.!!! We have been able to venture further from home, in the streets, and he does really well. Almost perfect! He now responds to his name as a positive thing. Augie is more attentive, less over-excited and has made life for us all a lot more relaxed. Everyone in the house follows the training methods so it works for all of us. I have noted the other two dogs at home have responded as well. We have followed all recommendations with regards to diet and have followed the actual training programme about 95% of the time ( I had to go away so relied on Mum and the Kennel people to assist and keep up the basics). I cannot put into words how highly I recommend Catharina and Bark Busters. Money well spent for Augie and for me and the family.

I found the lesson to be helpful and very effective. The technique and tools shown to me gave me the confidence that I needed to be a leader that my pup needs. Catharina also showed me the correct way to address bad behaviour and good behavior that is so simple but very effective. My puppy responded so well to the training session that was set up andIi feel like I can have my ideal dog thanks to Catharina.

We found Catharina to be very informative and helpful. She explained everything to us clearly and simply so it was easy for us to understand and put into practice. We noticed and improvement in Castiel after our first lesson today, we look forward to working with him this next week and for our follow up lesson. Catharina was able to answer all our questions and gave us lots of very helpful and informative information which we are even able to apply to our other dog. Castiel responded to her very well as did we. We are looking forward to working with and learning from, we especially found the information on how to communicate with your dog and more importantly how they communicate with us, some markers are so suttle that we would probably never noticed or understood them during our dogs life. We especially enjoyed and found interesting that the training does not require any treats, or harsh methods etc.
