After only a short amount of time our GSP Darcy is walking on a loose lead and listening so much more to us. Cat’s advice about training has been invaluable. Highly recommend Bark Busters Southwest WA.

I cannot recommend Cat from Bark Busters South West highly enough. Our Portugese Water Dog has been a different pup since my very first session with her, and this has made all of our lives instantly so much better! I had done a heap of research while we had had our puppy, spent so much time working with her on my own, and sought advice previously in Perth, but nothing was working and I was getting very worn out and quite distressed. So it was much to my surprise and sincerest relief that the training Cat taught me was so simple and so effective! Best thing we've done :)

It is great to be working with you and Urso! She is a determined girl, but you guys are doing a great job following your training plan! Looking forward to seeing your progress next week!

Cat was great to work with and we have started to see an improvement in Maddog!
Trainer note from Catharina
Maddog is a 8 year old Blue Heeler who was barking and nipping at visitors that would come to the house. He had been doing this for a little while, but recently it had escalated and his owners needed to make some changes. We have started Maddog's training program and he has shown a positive change right form the start. I am looking forward to our next visit where we can continue his training.

I absolutely loved my first training with Cat, very informative and easy to do. Archie and I picked it up without any dramas😊
Trainer note from Catharina
Archie is a 6 month old, male, German Shepherd. He has a great personality, he was however, doing a bit of barking, jumping, mouthing and needed to work on his recall. He also pulled on the lead which can be a very typical behavoiur for Shepherds. Donna did a great job of picking up the training techniques and Archie was more than happy to follow her lead :) I'm looking forward to seeing their progress over the coming days and weeks... Well done!

Cat was wonderful & explained everything with us very well. She has been so helpful. We can't wait to see how Finn improves but even after our first lesson we have learnt so much from Cat and have been putting what we are learning into practice. Thank you Cat!
Trainer note from Catharina
Thanks Gemma! Finn is a 4 month old Border Collie who was nervous of meeting new people and dogs. He was barking and would sometime snap if they tried to handle him. This isn't typical behaviour for such a young puppy so his owners reached out to Bark Busters for help. We had a great first lesson where we saw positive changes starting to happen, I am looking forward to our next lesson with him :)

Catharina dealt with Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Other
Cat is amazing. I wasn't confident that anyone would be able to teach my dog to walk on his lead without pulling and grabbing it in his mouth and becoming quite aggressive. Cat is like a magician and had my dog doing several things including walking on his lead within 2 and a half hours. We were left with training to do with my dog everyday and I thought that this afternoons training would be interesting seeing as Catharina wasn't here and that Bau might play up, but to my surprise he did everything perfect. I would highly recommend Catharina and Bark Busters.

Trainer note from Catharina
Bau is a beautiful year old, 50kg, American Bulldog cross American Staffi. He had issues around pulling on the lead, grabbing at his lead and generally being a handful on walks which meant he wasn't getting to go out as much as his owners would like. He also was dominating to their other 13 year old dog. He was jealous of any attention his owners gave her. He responded very well to the Bark Busters training, and to his owners, I'm looking forward to our next session where we can progress him further! Well done guys!

Catharina dealt with Aggression, Hyperactivity, Pulling
Awesome session and Cat was so lovely.
The reason I called Bark Busters was because my Mastiff X is fearful of people and can show it by lashing out and it's affecting all of our lives. I needed help to understand his needs.
We started with the basics but even that is quite intensive at the start for myself, my partner and Alpha! Lots of homework to practice :-) We can't wait for the next session and work on some other things and keep working towards our goals.
Trainer note from Catharina
Alpha is a 4 and a half year old Mastiff cross. He needed some leadership and guidance around interacting with people he didn't know. When this training is done correctly, dogs respond by becoming more confident in their owners and more relaxed in general. He did really well on his first session, and I'm looking forward to his follow up :)

Catharina dealt with Chewing, Pulling, Puppy management, Recall
Cat came on a Sunday so the 3 of us could be at the first training together. Brilliant.
Cat was patient and explained what we were to do. You can feel she has the love for the animals and that she really does care. The techniques that she teaches are simple and effective.
Trainer note from Catharina
Koda is a lovely 4 month (at the time of her first lesson) German Shepherd puppy. She needed to work on many of the typical puppy behaviours. On our second lesson we reviewed what her family had already been working on and started with more advanced recall and focus with distractions. With time and practice Koda will grow into a great dog!

Cat was an absolute pleasure to have in your home. Both dogs responded very well to her (as did we....we are the ones needing the training...LOL). We were shown the way to deal with Barney and Meg, they responded so well, and with our practice sessions are improving steadily each day. Cocker Spaniels are very sensitive dogs and responded well to this style of training..... We are soooo impressed.
Trainer note from Catharina
It was great to meet Barney (3 year old, male Cocker Spaniel) and Meg (7 year old, female Cocker Spaniel) and their lovely owners Pam and Mick. Meg was covered by a Lifetime Support Guarantee from 2011 and Barney recently joined the family from a previous breeder where he was a show dog. They picked up the training very easily and really flourished. Loved working with you guys and looking forward to seeing you again soon!

Catharina dealt with Chewing, Pulling, Puppy management, Recall, Toileting
Our first lesson with Cat exceeded our expectations. She was amazingly knowledgeable on everything we wanted to know plus more.
We felt comfortable with her in our house and our puppy Koda responded perfectly to her.
We learnt so much in those first few hours. And it was simple, not confusing.
There was easy instructions which we could follow as well as the dog.
We are looking forward to having a well trained German Shepherd working with Cat
You can tell she has the love for animals as well. Not just a job!
Loved the extras we received as well. That was unexpected. Training tools and the WaggTagg. Very impressed.
Thanks again
Carl, Michele and Ebony.

Koda is a lovely 4 month old German Shepherd puppy. She has a great family who are dedicated to bringing her up the right way. The German Shepherds are very intelligent and Koda is no exception. Her family now has a great plan moving forward through her puppy stages, and I will be there to help them through her adulthood too! It was lovely to meet and work with you all!

Very helpful and went far and beyond to make sure everything was covered and explained correctly.
Trainer note from Catharina
Jett is a gorgeous 1 year old Bull Terrier cross. He was doing a lot of barking, jumping and pulling on the lead. He was also destructive (digging and chewing) and very boisterous. We expect a young dog like Jett to be full of go, but when this stops the kids from wanting to go outside and constant barking, its not fun... Within his first lesson Jett was responding to his "mum" and following her instructions. The next day, I received a text message saying his barking had already reduced substantialy... This is what I love to hear from my clients! When the correct communication is established between humans and dogs, the relationship can blossom! Well done guys! look forward to our next catch up!
