Kat’s insight into dog behaviour and that of their humans has been of great benefit to our family of five (three humans and two dogs).
We contacted Kat concerned about our previously submissive cattle dog pup developing what we considered to be aggressive behaviours towards other dogs and people coming to our front door.
Kat observed our family in action and asked us a lot of questions. Her suggestion that our dog had no self-esteem, no self-confidence and was fearful rather than aggressive surprised us.
While we were meeting our dog’s diet and exercise requirements, we were not giving her overactive mind enough to think about.
After one session with Kat and by implementing the changes she recommended we make in our home (all simple to do), we noticed an immediate improvement. Both our dogs have reacted positively to the changes. Although it is a process rather than a “quick fix”, Kat’s advice has given us concrete steps to take to address our problems and the belief that success is achievable.
What has been most worthwhile for me is understanding that my own perceptions of what my dogs needed to feel loved and happy needed to be changed.
We are all so grateful for Kat’s expertise and deep understanding of what dogs need to function at their best and what we need to know in order to help them do that. Our beautiful red cattle dog is deserving of Kat’s help. We knew she was a gorgeous dog but Kat has helped us help her to develop her unbelievable potential and she is blossoming into a confident, well-behaved, eager to please dog and our respect for her has grown immensely.
The classes at Kat’s dog school provided the best opportunity for Roxy to expand her learning in a safe, supportive environment and Roxy’s success has astounded us. This is the best investment we have made in our dogs and we are very grateful to have found Kat.
