Cat has been an absolute blessing, we had our second lesson today for our puppy who we have been having trouble toilet training and eating her poo.
I came into owning a puppy very confident and seeing her eat poop knocked me down a peg quickly. I found bark busters and Cat! She quickly fitted us in and reinforced confidence back into me as a pet owner. I’ve found her techniques very easy and effective to work into every day life which I absolutely love as it’s given us all structure and routine which in turn has really grown our bond back with our puppy!
If I have ever been unsure or needed a bit of guidance Cat is always responsive. I also really appreciate after having our second lesson that if at any point something stops working she will always endeavour to give you a new plan. She is so full of knowledge and it’s easy to talk too.
I have very much enjoyed this experience and has made dog ownership so much less stressful having a professional to rely on.
It was also a nice touch to be given training equipment at no extra expense and being shown how to use it appropriately.
Cat is worth her weight in gold! Thank you so much

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review, it is my pleasure to be working with you and Tillie (19 week old French Bulldog). Coprophagia can be a tricky issue to overcome, but your dedication in following your training program to not only address this issue but also her general puppy training was really evident on your second lesson, well done again!! Looking forward to seeing even more progress over the next few weeks :)

After trying my best with my new puppy but not really knowing what I’m doing I knew it was time to call in the professionals (Catharina) exceeded all my expectations her professionalism and knowledge on doggy training was outstanding and even after 1 session my pup is already doing so much better, do your self a favour if you have a dog that your struggling with give Cat a call couldn’t recommend enough we have even booked in our old dog who could do with a little bit of training

My husband and l are very grateful we found Bark Busters. We like the natural approach teaching our puppy. Our first session with Cat was great. We learned already heaps. The tips and techniques are very helpful. We can see already a difference in our Lily. We still have to learn lots but are sure with the support from Cat that we will get there 😊 thanks heaps Cat! We look forward to working with you!

Thank you for leaving a review! It was a pleasure to work with you and Lily la Reina (9 week old Min Dachshund) and help you with toilet training, mouthing, basic lead training, recall and general puppy management. When you can start at a young age and guide them to the behaviour you would like it can be very rewarding. I look forward to seeing her progress at our next lesson!

Such a difference in just one session. Cat gave us the confidence to iron out these behaviours with her guidance and we have already seen a big change.
Trainer note from Catharina
It was lovely to meet you and Wombat (17 week old Jack Russell x). From the moment we met I could see you had your hands full with his reactive barking and anxiety. It was great to see him transform and relax over the initial lesson and I look forward to seeing your progress at our next lesson and build on what you have learnt!

Sorcery and witchcraft, the only logical explanations for how effective this training is.
Trainer note from Catharina
Thanks Blayde for leaving a review, it was a pleasure seeing Scrap (7 month old, Border Collie x Staffy) transform to the obedient puppy we knew he could be. He was so happy to please you and follow your lead. "Speaking Dog" can do amazing things!! He was calmer, stopped barking, walked on a loose lead and focused on you even when there was a passing dog (where he would have barked and reacted before). Looking forward to seeing your results at our next lesson :)

Catharina dealt with Aggression, Barking, Jumping up
After just one session with Cat we have already seen a positive change in our older dog Charli. She is responding well to the training practices we’ve put in place. Our pup Sam is attempting to follow her good behaviours (when he isn’t distracted by his own pup mannerisms).
Considering that’s after one session we can’t wait to see them after all the sessions are complete.

Thanks for leaving a review! It was great to help you with Charli (4 year old Moodle) and Sam (10 month old Cocker Spaniel x Poodle) to reduce their barking, jumping and help them to be calmer around the house and with visitors. It was great to see how quickly Charli let go of her old habits and followed your direction, I look forward to supporting you further and helping to keep Sam on track as well!

Amazing professionalism and knowledge!
Trainer note from Catharina
It was a pleasure to work with you and Murphy (2 year old Dalmatian x Bull Arab) helping you resolve his barking and separation anxiety issues. It was great to see the improvement in his behaviour over the last two weeks, well done for following the training program, I am sure you are going to be even better in the coming weeks.

Great first training session. Lots of information to digest but nice to do this in the comfort of our own home.
Trainer note from Catharina

I look forward to seeing you and Bonnie at our next lesson... Thanks for leaving a review!

Catharina dealt with Pulling, Recall
Evee still needs some more training, but after the first lesson I am confident we will have a positive outcome for all of us
Trainer note from Catharina
It was wonderful to work with you and Evee (2yo Greyhound) to help you achieve your goals of walking her on a loose lead, recall and having her calmer when she sees kangaroos. The improvements I saw at your second lesson were great! Well Done!

Catharina Jeffrey is a professional and knowledgeable trainer. She is helping me tame my 8 month old Kelpie pup. While it is early days, my dog is calmer and the techniques that she has taught are working.

I was very pleased with the training session for both me and my dog. The instructions were simple and efficient. Chester was quite confident and understood what he was told to do.
