Kath dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Puppy management, Separation anxiety
We were blown away by the knowledge and the training methods used by Kath. Zorro was a 4 year old Pomeranian who was affectionately called a disco dog by his original puppy trainer when we got him at 12 weeks of age. He was a brilliant dog in most areas except for his nonstop excessive barking. He’d bark at anything and everything, we couldn’t even get up from our chairs without him barking uncontrollably. After the first lesson with Kath we learnt that we were not being the leader of the dog, but that he controlled us. After putting into practice what we were taught by Kath our Pomeranian is now looking to us for leadership and his uncontrollable barking has dropped dramatically to almost nonexistent. We still have plenty of training to follow up with but the differences after one lesson and implementing what we learnt from Kath has made a world of difference to our lives.
We would highly recommend Kath and Bark Busters to anyone wanting to learn how to train your dog in a loving and dog friendly way. It definitely gives you the results that you want. Kath is very professional and friendly and the follow up information and support is great.
P.s please note we have also brought a new daschund puppy into our home and we are using the training techniques provided by Kath on him too. Results are looking good so far.
Trainer note from Kath
Thankyou for your great review! It makes me very happy to hear of the positive changes happening in just a few days! Keep up the good work and things will continue to improve toward long term behaviour changes. Best of all though is being able to help bring some much needed peace to the household and having a better relationship with your beautiful dogs!

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 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 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
