Catharina was great with Presley and very friendly and easy to understand, she also took the time to teach us properly
Trainer note from Catharina
It was my pleasure to help you reduce Presley's barking and separation anxiety. The change after his first lesson was great to see, he was happy for you take the lead so he could relax and trust you. You all did very well with the training, and I am looking forward to seeing his improvements at your next lesson :) Presley - 19 month old Schnauzer

Excellent like a different dog
Trainer note from Catharina
Thanks for leaving a review John. Harlie (8 year old Kelpie) was dog aggressive and her owners had tried to manage this since rescuing her. To see her walk by an excitable puppy and still focus on you when asked, and not react to him in her first lesson was an absolute pleasure. It really shows that dogs can make huge changes in behavior (in a short time) when we have the right structure in place. Looking forward to your next lesson and working with you further.

Cat had a very good manner which relaxed us and Aida.

Thank you for leaving a review Deb. Was lovely to work with you and Aida (2.5yo Staffy x Boxer) to help you improve her dog reactivity, pulling and recall. It has been great to get your updates since our first lesson and hear of her progress. She is a sweet girl, and I look forward to building on the work we have done at your next lesson.

Catharina dealt with Aggression, Barking, Pulling, Recall
Early days but have noticed immediate change in the dog. You have to put in the work but the methods obviously work really well. Our rescue dog is 8 years old so you can teach an old dog new tricks.
Trainer note from Catharina
Thanks for your review Liz, and good to hear that Murphey (8yo Staffy x Labrador) is responding well. Older dogs can have more engrained habits, but they can be changed through consistence and good canine communication. Looking forward to see him at your next lesson.

Catharina dealt with Separation anxiety
Thanks so much to Catharina for starting Jendal off with such a simple approach by using canine language! It’s only been 3 days and we can already see a massive difference in his behaviour by setting simple boundaries. The training is so easy to incorporate into our daily activities.
Trainer note from Catharina
Thanks so much for leaving a review, I am pleased to hear that Jendal is doing well, and that it is helping you to settle him in at home and improve his separation anxiety. Looking forward to seeing his progress at your next lesson :)

Catharina was absolutely fantastic! I noticed an immediate change with my pup, he is now starting to build great habits with the simple plan she has provided. She was happy to work around our schedule which was a massive help. Always happy to answer any questions you have even after the training. It has been a great experience so far!
Trainer note from Catharina
Thank you for leaving a review Soraya, it was great to see Scrim (5 month old Staffy x Mastiff) change from a jumping, mouthing full on pup, to focused and calm just in his first lesson. And continuing to see those changes stick for the long term is where the real achievement is made! Looking forward to our next lesson and building on the training for you. Well done guys!!

We are 4 days after the initial training session and it feels like we have a new dog already. Luna is responding really well to the techniques introduced by Cat and we look forward to demonstrating her progress at the next training session.
Trainer note from Catharina
Thanks so much for leaving a review Jonathan, it was a pleasure to help you with Luna, she is a good dog but I could definitely see where she was testing you. It was great to see her respond for you, and I look forward to seeing your progress at your next lesson!

Amazing day and amazing trainer, explained everything so clearly and showed me lots of techniques that worked straight away. Cannot wait for my next lesson
Trainer note from Catharina
Thanks for leaving a review Sam! I loved working with you and Tyga and Bruce (Westi x Maltese and Jack Russell). Seeing their barking going from reacting to every little sound to them being calm and relaxed even with those distractions was wonderful to see. I know you will enjoy the calmer walks and I look forward to building on your training in your next lesson :)

Cat was amazing with Benji and already after 1 lesson he has learnt so much. I too have gained knowledge to help Benji to be his best self.
Trainer note from Catharina
Thank you so much for leaving a review! Benji (15 week old Border Collie) did a amazing job at showing how much a young puppy can learn in a very short (1 and a half hours) time. Stopping mouthing, jumping and play biting, recall, learning to stay on command with distractions, door control, some lead training and stopping reactive chasing to the broom and blower all in one day! Not to mention how well he did with learning not to hassle Harley (older dog) so they can both enjoy their time together :) Awesome job Benji!! Look forward to seeing his progress continuing your training at your next lesson.

After just the initial training, Mydi is a complete new puppy thanks to Cat's expert advice & training tips, looking forward to more of Cat's advice so I can have the perfect "gentleman" fur friend that I need him to be. Thanks Cat, appreciate you taking us on. We highly recommend Cat, she knows her stuff!!
Trainer note from Catharina
Thanks so much Chris, I am so happy you decided to work with me and Bark Busters to training Mydi (19 week old Toy Poodle x Maltese x Shih Tzue), I know you said at the start of your lesson you just wanted him to be a "gentleman" and I think we have him well on his way!! It was great to see him respond to the training techniques I showed you to use so you could stop his jumping and play biting, getting good recall and lead training, addressing his toilet training and importantly his separation anxiety so he can be a happier and calmer boy when he needs to be on his own. I am looking forward to our next lesson :)
