Trainer note from Catharina
Thanks for leaving a review Jimi! It was great to meet you both and help you with Leighton's (3yo, Staffordshire Terrier) anxiety and dog reactivity issues. It was wonderful to see him change before our eyes in your first lesson. I look forward to seeing his progress at your next session :)

Catharina explained everything so well, I learnt so much, and felt very supported with communication after. Feeling very hopeful with our little dogs barking. Loved the video, all the info we were given as Ive read it and its helped after the initial session.

Thank you so much for leaving a review Alana, it was great to work with you and Teddy (3.5yo Jack Russell x Chihuahua). I always love seeing them start to relax and follow your lead once we begin the training. I look forward to seeing his progress at your next lesson!

Thank you to Cat. Even after one lesson we are seeing great results with Chip's development. The skills that you taught us have been super useful to become the best dog owners for Chip. We highly recommend Cat to anyone who may be struggling with their dogs behaviour or anxiety.

Thanks for leaving a review Alida, it was great to see Chip's (4 year old Kelpie x Labrador) quick response to the training on the day. Having a dog that suffers from anxiety can be stressful for everyone involved and knowing we can address it through this training and see great results is always a pleasure to see. I look forward to seeing his progress at your next lesson :)

Cat was amazing. The techniques she has taught me have made such a huge change in Dortothys behavior. It has had such a positive impact for the whole family. Can’t thank Cat enough for her help.

From the minute Cat walked through our front door she showed our puppy how to listen and obey her commands. Cat showed us how to repeat this with our puppy ourselves. We had a bit of trouble with jumping and nipping, stealing items and running away with them and Cat helped us to remedy these behaviours with practice. First lesson was great but continued having issues with her jumping up to granddaughter to the point she was unable to come out of her room. I contacted Cat before our scheduled next session and she thankfully came as an additional session to address what required to be done. We already see a difference and we are very grateful.

Thank you Sally for leaving a review! I am so glad that you have followed the training program, and reached out when you needed more help with Maggie (Cavoodle). Settling in a new dog can be hard at times, but I am confident she will return your faith in her ten fold. Looking forward to seeing your progress at your next lesson :)

This training has changed our lives! We were finding our dog walks to be impossible, with a very reactive dog. After 2 sessions only with Cat from Bark Busters South West, actually even after the first session, our dog was a different dog! He was more calm and confident. Cat is awesome and so easy to work with. She makes you feel comfortable and confident as well and the one-on-one sessions are so much better than trying to do a group class with an anxious dog. Our dog Fil is now relaxed and happy and we no longer dread our walks. In fact we love them.😊 I can highly recommend the training. Best decision we made! Thanks Cat x

Thank you so much for leaving a review Sue! It was a great to help you and Fil (2yo, male, Border Collie x Jack Russell). You did a wonderful job of following my training plan, which is so important, especially with an anxious dog and dealing with dog reactivity and barking. Seeing him at your second lesson and the improvements you had both made was a real pleasure. I look forward to seeing his continued progress :) Well done!

Training is great for him
Trainer note from Catharina
Thanks for leaving a review Judd! I loved seeing the change in Kash (13 month old Blue Heeler) within that lesson. He calmed down so much as soon as you started to work with him and I could see him wanting to please you in every step. So happy that you don't have worry about his barking now that you are putting the training in place, and that his recall and lead training started to show improvement even from the first lesson. I look forward to seeing his progress at your next session.

Very professional, excellent knowledge, very good suggestions. By the time Cat left dog was already behaving better.

Thank you so much for leaving a review Lorraine! It was great working with you both and Poppy (Kelpie x) and Lilly (Jack Russell x) to help them become more relaxed at home and out on your walks. It was great to see the barking stop instantly, and to see Poppy walking on a loose lead with distractions that would have normally set her off to react. I look forward to working with you to help her dog reactivity issues further in your next lesson. Well done!

Catharina dealt with Barking, Pulling, Recall, Sibling rivalry
Cat is very professional and helpful. Gave me all the guidelines and information for our first session. Will be a work in progress for some issues after only a week but is a great starting point to work on.
Trainer note from Catharina
Thanks for leaving a review Carolyn, it was wonderful to work with you and Nyla (Golden Retriever) and help you address her separation anxiety, pulling on lead and general obedience. It was great to see her a lot calmer after her first lesson and I look forward to our next lesson.

Thanks for leaving a review Derralyn, it is great helping you with Poppy (7 month old, female, Blue Heeler) , especially knowing she is a little harder than the average dog, seeing the results is a great reward. I look forward to our next lesson and building on our training plan for her.

Catharina dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall
I learnt a lot about how dogs communicate and how we should communicate with them. I thought Duke was going to be difficult to train as he has been getting away with murder for so many years, but I was surprised to see that he learnt very quickly and responded to the training a lot better than what I was expecting
Trainer note from Catharina
Thank you for leaving a review Paula, it was great to work with you and Duke (5yo Bull Mastiff) and help you set boundaries to address his barking and have him better behaved around the kids. He did so well with his first session and I look forward to helping you further with his lead training as we progress.
