Kath dealt with Aggression, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall
Kath was absolutely excellent with our wayward rescue dog, Tonka. Her explanations of his behaviour problems were clear and make complete sense, and the strategies that she recommended were immediately effective. In fact, the change in his demeanour and behaviour were striking. We still have a lot of work to do, but I'm finally getting back my optimism that we can have a dog we really enjoy being around.
Trainer note from Kath
Thankyou! It's great to see Tonka happy and thriving in his adopted home! Like most Staffy's his approach to life can be pretty full on and directing his behaviour toward the right path will get him bouncing in the right direction. I look forward to hearing of his progress!

Kath is a very helpful, approachable and calm lady - training began almost as soon as she walked in due to Bess's over-excitement when visitors arrive! We covered quite a lot of issues, with noticeable success (up to us to keep the ball rolling!) There was a lot to try to absorb in a short time, but all VERY helpful... it will take us (oldies) some time to master (and remember!) everything, but bit by bit we can see improvement in Bess's behaviour... early days!!!
Trainer note from Kath
Thankyou Barb, Im so happy to be able to help you with Bess's behaviour, the difference in your confidence and your ability to handle her has been very noticeable at our second session! Cattle dogs can sometimes be a bit challenging and you're doing great! I'm looking forward to catching up again so we can work on her reactivity outside the home! Thank you kindly, Kath

Abbey is responding really well to bahhh….she is walking well on the new lead and I put her bed in the car and she is now as quiet as a church mouse and is MUCH more relaxed. I can even go to the shower and loo alone and can go to the garage without her following me…I am extremely happy thanks to you…
Trainer note from Kath
Thank you for your 5 star review! I was very happy to see Abby responding so quickly during our lesson - Separation anxiety requires the right approach to understand how to help your dog and Abby is now well on her way to being a much calmer, relaxed little girl. Plus the bonus is a calmer dog settles the barking too!

Kath dealt with Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Recall, Sibling rivalry
Kath was attentive and took her time explaining everything. She made sure I fully understood each instruction and that I executed it right. Very lovely lady.
Trainer note from Kath
Thankyou Jessie! I could see your confidence grow by the minute and the change in your dog resulted! With a young boisterous Bull Arab/Ridgeback we needed to get this big girl listening to you! Seeing her calm down around your son instead of jumping all over him (and you!) will create a much better relationship for you all. She is a delightful dog and I can see how well loved she is! Regards Kath

Looking forward to continuing to assist as they progress with their training! Regards Kath

Kath thank you so much for your session with our Milly last week. The directions and experience you provided to us has made a huge impact on the management of our pooch????. The transformation from her unacceprable behaviour to a much more relaxed and obedient dog is nothing less than amazing. We also have realised that this outcome is a combination of both the dog and its owners being ‘trained’ to carry out instructions and reinforce these until the desired outcome is required. Thank you so much as we were at a point where we did not think our little dog would ever change to more acceptable behaviour. We were amazed when you stood in our hallway and Milly responded to your commands immediately. Milly understood what was being asked of her with your commands. You explained what we needed to do so clearly. We are extremely happy with the outcome and would highly recommend you to anyone who is having issues with their dog because you speak their language. Thanks Amanda and Les

Kath from Bark Busters Wide Bay is a dream come true! I have a Standard Poodle (3yr) and a Cattle X Collie (14yr). They both pull on the lead and have different reactivity responses to other dogs. My Poodle is friendly but acts silly and barks at other dogs on lead, and my Cattle X has a more aggressive reactivity towards other dogs, so that mixed together has been difficult to control and manage by myself!
The way Kath handled their differences and the techniques she taught me in just the first lesson was astounding, even for general house behaviour to make them calmer at the front door I saw an instant improvement.
The convenience of Kath coming to my own home to meet and train my dogs in their comfort zone was absolutely wonderful.
Kath is incredibly knowledgeable, we learnt so much in just the first day and I definitely saw a difference in behaviour by the end of our lesson.
I have already recommended her!
I can't wait for our next lesson and the continuous support that Bark Busters provides!
