We discussed the problems that we had with our dog Frankie. Cat went through everything with us in an easy to understand way and made it very hands on so that we were comfortable with the training techniques. We saw results instantly and the home training program makes it so easy to continue.
Trainer note from Catharina
Frankie is a lovely Kelpie cross who had some fear based issues mostly around male visitors... As As she is still a young dog it was a good time to teach her a better way to respond. Her family did a great job of learning to "Speak Dog"

Hugh was so gentle and caring with my dog. He understood the importance of love and positive reinforcement. We have had Hugh visit twice now, and all family members feel comfortable with him and his methods. It's amazing to have someone for support whenever needed and he has helped train us in supporting my dog!

Stefanie dealt with Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Separation anxiety
Stef was wonderful. Very patient and clear in explaining the process. Was very impressed with how quickly my 9 year old Labrador was picking up the new commands. She has been very helpful with both his listening skills (which needed improvement) and assisted in the introduction of him to our new kitten.
Trainer note from Stefanie
Well done in practicing our techniques with Riley! He's such a bright, sweet boy and the improvements are very evident! I'm glad he's slowly accepting the kitten as part of his family. Keep up the great work!

Heather you are wonderful! Ducky is already on track with his mouthing and the fear of the backyard is already non-existent! Can't wait to see the rest of your genius play out!

Wow. Our first day of training with Jane and our boisterous puppy is the best behaved that we have experienced in the 9 months we have had him. My sceptic husband had to eat humble pie at the results. We have our homework to do but look forward to a positive future for us and our puppy.

Hi guys.
I am very impressed.
Meeting Heather at the door went well.
The chat was excellent. Except I blabbered on a bit, (So Spook told me later), Sorry bout that Heather hehehe.
Spook was better with the girls than I expected. So I was happy with that.
The Training went well and Spook is on to it like a seagull on chips.
Spook has Her problems, but I believe with Heathers help Training ME to train Spook, all will be well and Lil Spook will be My Pride and Joy for years to come.
I Love her and only want the Best for Her.
THANK YOU HEATHER

I wished I had found Cat sooner!!! I have been struggling for 4 years with Banjo being very reactive with other dogs, pulling on the lead and barking when excited.
After one lesson with Cat, Banjo changed overnight it was incredible the difference. No longer pulls, walks off lead at my side, waits quietly when asked. He is getting better everyday and I can see he is a happier dog, always licking his lips when we are out and he is more focused on me.
We discussed his diet and I have made changes to that also and included a supplement.
I felt Cat was very easy to understand and made me feel comfortable getting the hang of the methods. I'm looking forward to Banjo's happy future as I feel I'm finally talking his language. ðŸ¾ðŸ’ž
Trainer note from Catharina
Banjo is a beautiful Kelpie who was a unsure with visitors and was over protective of his mum... He was a true example of how much these dogs would like their human to be in charge and take the weight of their shoulders... Jai did a fantastic job at taking on that role, and it was a great result for both of them!

Faith communicates an intuitive, canine friendly approach, which helped me learn how to connect with my dog. The key is that the techniques are simple and Faith effectively taught me how to apply them with confidence with my dog. Faith's approach is friendly and relaxed with both human and dog. Thank you.

Thanks so much Penny - you and your dog are a pleasure!

Todd dealt with Aggression, Barking, Pulling, Recall
This was an incredible experience. The transformation we saw in Misha even in just one lesson was amazing. We were starting to see behaviour we never thought was possible. I was even able to walk Misha around our yard on a lead without her pulling me over! Philip also helped with the tougher issues like barking and some aggression.
Philip was very patient and kind, and very knowledgable. He explained everything to us so that we understood the why of the methods, not just the how.
Misha is a rescue dog, and not very good with strangers at all, but Philip is very gentle and kind while still being firm, and we were so happy to have him working with us.
We couldn't recommend Philip and Bark Busters more highly to anyone!
Trainer note from Todd
Misha is a big girl! About 35kg. A rescued Rhodesian Ridgeback female of about 4 years old. She has been getting more and more aggressive towards visitors at home, and when in the car. Once she got so worked up in the car when the owner's brother approached the car that she lost her bowels whilst barking so much. Poor girl. Her growling at guests was getting quite scary, although thankfully she has never actually bitten anyone. Also on walks she is reactive and aggressive towards other dogs. Our first lesson went really well, with Misha learning to listen to her humans, and to let go of much of her stress and worry. She showed her true nature (which is soft and a little worried) and her humans learnt that she is putting on an act of being big and scary. She really loved having her humans take the lead and let her know in our gentle way that she needn't try to control the situations. She will take more time to really relax fully, but her humans know a lot more now about Canine Communication. And with consistent practice Misha will get better and better with coping with new people. Well done all of you!

Stefanie was very clear in her instructions & requirements of myself and my dog. She was very easy to talk to honestly regarding any concerns I have with my dog or the training. I look forward to further training Inka with the tools and skills Stefanie gave me to further improve my dogs separation anxiety.
Trainer note from Stefanie
Inka (Mastiff x Staffy) is such a cutie pie and was so responsive during her lesson! I'm looking forward to getting further improvements in her future lessons. Keep up the great work!

Cat was absolutely amazing with princess. Princess has some dog aggression issues and a few little things going on with her behavior. Cat came in explained everything very clearly and in a way i understood. After the first session with Cat i seen a massive improvement with princess and how we can communicate better and I now have a better understanding of my dog and the way she thinks .I'm really looking forward to my next session with Cat and continuing to build a better understanding with my girl .Without Cat i wouldnt be able to do that .i cant say enough good things about her ! Im over the moon i found someone who is not only caring but who has the tools and understanding to properly help us .
