CUSTOMER TESTIMONIAL POSTED BY BUSINESS In what way can a person express such an amount of gratitude for giving you back what you felt was lost??? I called Katrina from Kats4dogs in a desperate attempt to stop my Staffy from running away it had been a good 10 months of this but she would always come home however it was becoming a real problem not only for her safety but others. Having to keep rescheduling with Katrina due to medical issues and appointments we finally had our first assessment and wasn't it a doozie. So On my initial assessment after not more than 30 minutes Katrina decided Sava/ we would benefit from some in home rehab. Being a mother of 3 small children with hubby working away and just having a major operation I welcomed this knowing all I wanted was the best for my girl. I could not be more grateful to Katrina and her lovely partner. They did more than they will ever know. I know Katrina was not only concerned about Sava but me as well. (When do you meet that when dealing with your animal and a trainer) Sava was showing signs of severe anxiety when Katrina came here. Without hesitation Katrina said can I take her for a week.?.. From the look on her face I know this shocked not only me but Katrina as well. With no hesitation at all I said yes. I wanted the best care for my girl and this was it.. So after another 30 minutes of chat they left. Safe to say I was anxious lol. Not more than a few hours later Katrina sent me a video of Sava Playing with her dogs and having a lovely time. With my anxiety allayed I was eager to see how the rest of the week went. Without me asking I got daily messages and videos of Sava's progress in her rehab and wasn't she doing well. This is the dog I used to know. Within just a short few days Katrina had all but fixed her food aggression with other dogs, her jealously issue with other dogs during affection and others I didn't know even existed. So after a week of much needed respite for both of us Sava came home on Friday. Safe to say I was a bit anxious about her coming home with thinking can I do this? Can I be the leader she needs? So it came and Sava was home. Katrina and I sat and talked about what needed to change, what she (Sava) needed day to day and so on. Not once did Katrina belittle me, make me think I was a crap owner (as most can do) and she stayed with me till there as calm and everyone was comfortable ( which was a few hours). Bless her. So sending her off Sava was acting a perfect dog. The first couple of days were hard I'm not going to lie. Trying to give 3 kids and a needy dog the most 'positive' attention was not easy and there was sight of the old 'Sava' wanting to flee and run but with a calm manner she came back rather easily. So it's been a week and what an amazing week it's been. We have all been enjoying the more positive environment that now evokes our house but our beautiful dog. My kids and I love her to the moon and back. So I guess what I'm saying is I know without meeting Katrina and having her help us with Sava I wouldn't have my dog right now. I've met and spoken to many dog behaviourist and Katrina is by far the best. Her connection with them is unbelievable and we will be forever indebted to her for not only her skills as an amazing dog trainer but also her kindness and generosity. I would recommend Katrina (and have already) to anyone needing a great and passionate trainer. Kim, Sava and Kids xx

30th July 2013 We were at our wits end with our precious little Mia, worried constantly about what we would come home to, break outs, ripping and chewing Security Screens, Poo's and Wee's. torn fencing, the horrible feelings and thoughts we would have towards our Mia, when a dear friend who is an Australian Working Dogs rescuer, sent us a link to Kat's 4 Dogs. We had tried herbal remedies, coats, diets, you name it, we did it, so we thought we would give this Katrina a go. As soon as I spoke to Katrina and heard what she had to say, I thought maybe there was an answer to all this distruction and anxiousness, so we set up an at home consultation and that was the start of the most awesome relationship we have ever had with our 8year old Shitzu/Maltese. There was an immediate ease and within 15 mins, Katrina had Mia behaving like I had never seen before, after 45 mins I didnt know who this dog was, relaxed and calm, and after 3 hours we felt empowered and ready to do all the things Katrina had taught us, YES us, not the dog. We followed Katrina's instructions to the letter, it was amazing being the pack leader for once, and in return, we had the most happy, relaxed little Mia What Katrina gave us what an understanding of how we as humans treat our dogs as human and do you know it is the most inhumane thing to do, we now look forward to walks and outings with a very happy and relaxed Mia. We can never thank you enough, so please when you think there is no hope and like us you feel so frustated and angry, just give this wonderful Lady a call. You will just love her like we do, so thankyou Katrina xoxoxoxox Christine Dawe CUSTOMER TESTIMONIAL POSTED BY BUSINESS

we were skeptical at first how one lady could manage a collection of unruly puppies and turn them into obedient and calm dogs well only one lady can - its Katrina !!! she has since moved to Queensland which is NSW's great loss - we miss her so much and am grateful we can still call her for advice she is one in a million Lisa Banfield - owner of TANGO

I cannot recommend Katrina enough as a dog trainer, human trainer and an all round miracle worker for our new puppy Brooklynas well as my husband and I! Being that this was our first ever dog, we started with an in-home visit to walk us through all the details before we brought our little bundle of joy home with us. That is when we met Katrina, and thank goodness for that! At our first home visit, she walked us through what to expect, the dos and donts, securing our backyard, how to put her to sleep, feeding, behavioural concepts and a whole lot of tips on how to reward the good, not the bad. We had no idea about all the useful information she offered to us. Prepping for the arrival of a new dog with Katrina was a priceless step in the process for us. Once we brought Brooklyn home, we also took Katrinas Puppy School and Adolescent Classes and had a few more home visits to work out the kinks. She went above and beyond every time, helping to train my dog, but also helping to guide us on training and expectations as well. Katrina was a godsend and we cannot thank her enough. Brooklyn is now growing up into a wonderful companion and my husband and I look at each other constantly and think what would we ever have done without Dog Tech?. And it is true, Katrina is not only professional in every respect, but she is a talented, trustworthy and all round amazing with animals. She will always be there to support you and I know that if I have a question at any time of day or night, she will be there to help. She is such a wonderful part of Brooklyns life and we are so forever grateful! Kelsey Morris CUSTOMER TESTIMONIAL POSTED BY BUSINESS

Kats 4 Dogs Hi Katrina, Just wanted to drop you a line to say thank you so much for all your help, and to share with people in QLD who may be looking for help with their dogs our story. It sure has been a rollercoster ride! Your house visits greatly improved Elke (greyhound) and Lola's (mini-foxi) seperation anxiety, and meant we had the tools to help our dogs relax. Last year when Elke passed away we were heart broken and so was little Lola. Once again we required your assistance and support to work with getting lola back into a calm routine. You showed great compassion not only for Lola but for myself and Harriet in a time that was incredibly challenging. From March to December last year we did all the exercises and training you showed us and bit by bit all of us learnt to relax and laugh again. Lola went from extreme OCD barking and pacing the yard and behaving fearfully when faced with unfamiliar people, to seeing her yard as a place to relax and enjoying new people throwing a ball for her. We spoke at length about getting a second dog when the time was right, in December that time arrived! Thankyou for taking the time to help us settle Erik the rescue rotti in. You helped us gel our pack together and we couldn't be happier. Lola and Erik enjoy each others company and make us smile every day with their games in the yard. Your humour, patience and compassion makes you outstanding at what you do. Your insight on not just training but behaviour of dogs and humans has been the key. you will be missed here in Sydney, I hope Noosa knows how lucky they are to have you! Lots of love Bernie, Harriet, Lola and Erik. CUSTOMER TESTIMONIAL POSTED BY BUSINESS

18th February 2013 I am a small animal veterinary surgeon, with more than 20 years experience, and have worked in close association with Katrina for more than 2 years. I found Katrina to be thoroughly dependable and professional in the way she conducted herself as an experienced dog trainer working for Dogtech. Always approachable and with a great work ethic, I was able to recommend her to all my clients and never once heard anything but praise for her from my clients who were always grateful for my recommendation. On the times when I was able to watch her puppy classes I found them very interesting, and I too learnt from her, and also found them highly entertaining and enjoyable. Katrina is an obvious dog lover as well, who really genuinely cares, and over the years I also met her own lovely dogs who are a testament to herself as well.

1st March 2013 Katrina Boyd Kats 4 Dogs My 12 year old Border collie, Ellie and I would like to share our experience with you at Katrinas. My Ellie was badly treated in her younger years so she became very fearful, aggressive, and defensive and did not trust anyone. I could never touch her hind legs or brush her. Visiting a Vet was a joke; they were all scared of her. Taking her for a walk was testing she wanted to attack every dog getting close to us. Katrina has dogs of her own and I was apprehensive about Ellies behaviour. She introduced the dogs, played with them, took them for a walk and rewarded them. Her calm and confident behaviour, firm but friendly approach and handling, relaxed Ellie and she accepted to be one of the group. When she stepped out of line, one of Katrinas dogs pulled her back. What a great training Katrinas dogs had. Later, Katrina decided to cut Ellies matted coat, the fur between her paws and her nails. Good luck Katrina, you will need it... But she did not need any luck. She knew exactly how to treat the wriggling, snarling and biting Ellie. Katrina was firm, but without force, professional and determined, but passionate. She was in charge Ellie gave in. Ellie no longer scratches, takes anti itch medication and uses anti allergy shampoos. She is a happy girl, her skin is healthy and her coat shiny. She does not want to attack every dog anymore and even the Vet is surprised. My confidence in Katrina? 100%. She is professional, firm, consistent and totally dedicated. I have no hesitation recommending Katrina and her services to any owner who cares and loves their pooch. Thank you Katrina. Judith Forest Lake Qld 4078 CUSTOMER TESTIMONIAL POSTED BY BUSINESS
