Testimonials

Private Training

Thank you so much Rebecca.  The change in Awa is amazing.  She is gaining confidence each walk and her aggressive anxiety barking is improving daily.  Your gentle sound advice during the individual classes was fantastic and I think gave both myself and Awa confidence. She is more relaxed and so am I!!! Thanks again – really appreciated your sessions.

Puppy Foundation Skills – Private Training

“It’s been great working with Rebecca both in the Puppy Classes and the Private Training sessions.

The puppy training really helped us and our pup with socialising and guidance on what we could do to start training our new family member.

However it has been the private training sessions that have really turned around our behaviour and also our pups.

It was always a struggle to get our pup ready for her walks  and game playing getting the harness on, became tedious before every walk. With Rebecca techniques within a day the pup  (and owners behaviour) changed and getting ready for a walk is now a pleasure for both parties.

Setting goals at each training session and working on these between the 2 weekly sessions is great motivation for all parties and our pup has come along very quickly with her walking manners and other skills. We look forward to more training sessions with Rebecca  as our pup develops and grows over the next year.”

“Thank you – on behalf of our whole family – for the terrific puppy-parent training program.  We liked your rich curriculum & the excellent post-class follow-up emails that had words & videos to amplify the class learnings.  These materials will be great for us going forward with Koru’s training.  We also enjoyed to several ‘strategic’ lessons you taught us: keeping communications crisp & clean; managing the pup’s natural instincts… & ours; &, keeping a focus on those commands & disciplines that suit OUR lifestyle.”

“I would just like to thank you for your help in teaching me to walk Bella on the lead again without pulling. It only took a few lessons on our own before she was walking beside me and making our walks lovely and pleasant for us both.”

Puppy School

“I just wanted to say thank you for your help at puppy school with Dune. We are all getting along much better since we started coming and feeling brighter about the future. It’s was getting a bit grim there for a while. All the best with all you are doing.”

“Just to let you know that a miracle happened! Lucy is getting so much better, less jumping and biting and she’s listening, trying to understand what we like or dislike. It’s a pleasure to play with her and we are all happy! Thank you so much for telling me again how to handle her. We can see how important it is to reward her with treats and our training works really well!!!!”
