Reviews & Testimonials For Catharina Jeffery

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.

Very informative, once we started the training we realised how easy it is to do. Catharina didnt give us too many things at once and everything is very achievable.

Catharina was very knowledgeable and helped us with Taj's behaviour. She gave us the tools we needed to change how we teach our dog. The training was not labour intensive but made us and our dog work and think. Issues like diet were also considered for Taj's behaviours and this was modified. We have seen real change in our dog and this has been rewarding. I am pleased with Catharina's service and support. Thank you.

Catharina was extremely friendly and personalised. She explained things clearly and was able to assist with training techniques for Ruby. Extremely happy with the service and advice.

It was an amazing experience in just a few hours Catharina was able to show us how to have puppies behave in a way that blew us away. In essence she was able to give us the puppies we had longed for but had no idea on how to achieve it. Thanks again Catharina it was a fantastic what you did.

Catharina was fantastic! Everything she said made so much sense. She was great with Maya and very open and friendly to myself and my fiance. Her advice and recommendations were easy to understand and follow. Maya has already shown progress even after just one session. We are really looking forward to seeing how she progresses. I would definitely recommend Catharina to other dog owners.

I found Catharina to be very friendly and supportive of my objectives in finding ways to help our rescue Rottweiler, Floyd . He is going to be a work in progress as we are all getting familiar with each other and finding more and more things that will need to be worked on as the days progress! So far I have found the program to be excellent . With help from Catharina I am sure we will be able to iron out all the problems my poor boy has. I am amazed how quickly Floyd responded to the training - I am the one who needs more training!!

The training was really good and obviously backed up with some in depth research

After a lack of success with a previous company, Catharina spent the time explaining why Starchie was displaying his behaviours; how his diet would be impacting and how I was contributing. Within the first session, Starchie responded to me as his pack leader and is doing brilliantly now as a result. He still needs reminding from time to time and still working on some real trouble spots with him, but the guidance, support and contact from Catharina has made the process with my rescue boy so much easier. I would recommend Catharina and Bark Busters to anyone who needs support with their pets behaviours.
