Hi Christine,

Thank you for the referral, he did contact me and is going to call early in January to organise joining a class.

My current Saturday class is going very well, I have a 2 year old lab who pulls his mum off her feet etc, we have been going 3 weeks now and he has already settled, she said her husband can’t believe the change in him. I am thrilled at this! Its been fun and a good intro to the real world I think.

I hope you and the family are all well, please send my regards.

Kind regards

I really feel like a Jedi Knight about to take on the evil Empire and their vast armies of wrongly trained instructors and untrained owners.

On a serious note I would just like to say a most humble thank you to the both of you for the most wonderful life changing experience. Busy with name and have spoken to mate in the UK who is going to design my web page and help me with a flyer to advertise at the vets etc. Very excited to get going, thank you.

Howzit from raining Cape Town

Thanks for the response last night i was on such a high. It all went well and i think i got all the info i need to help them. They have agreed to training with the intention to carry on indefinitely. Very interestingly one of the dogs has a serious case of Coprophagia.

They were very impressed and I felt very good. Thanks. The dog chews at peoples feet, jumps and barks. They said he would do this for hours at a time. Not even 5 min while we were talking and me watching and working with him, he lay down and slept. It works.

They both want classes at home and I have agreed as they live within 3 min of me but we will all meet for a class or two later as i get more clients for distractions and socialization. They both starting next week Thurs and i should be seeing another client on weekend whose dog has separation anxiety.

Thanks for the support
Many thanks

I have nothing but GREAT things to say about the Instructors Course – I can guarantee that you will not be disappointed! The information provided is astounding – everything you have ever wanted to know (theory and practical application), and much, much more, is covered in the Course! Chris and Christine have a lifetime of knowledge in this field and they will always be there to help you and push you to strive further! They will never undermine your ideas or embarrass you in any way – they are open-minded, love to think out of the box, and fun to be around and learn from!

I have been a handler at SADTC for almost 9 years – my mom and I have been training our two adorable X-breeds (Charlie and Rose) there since they were 6 months old! They loooove going to training – they get us out of bed at 6am every Saturday morning (even in winter)! I completed the Instructors last year March, and have been an Instructor at SADTC since last year April, and I am addicted to it! Dog training is what keeps me going – without it I would be a very miserable person.

I studied to be a Zoologist, but if I knew then what I know now, I would never have gone to University, I would have made working with dogs (and a few other animals too) my full time career! So, if you have a passion for working with dogs you will not make a mistake by doing the Course!

Warmest regards,
Simone

I just want to let you know that I agree with you that you have the best Instructors. I really learnt a lot from Simone and Mark while being a handler with them. Elaine has taught me a tremendous lot while I was assisting her. I also learn new things every time I am at SADTC just from watching Instructors like you, John and Oom Johan. Now that I am a handler in the puppy class with Chris I also learn so much more.

I know that every now and then we encounter bumps in the road but I would like to congratulate you guys on the absolute stunning job you are doing with and for the dogs out there and want to encourage you to keep going strong.

Kursus gedoen Maart 2012

As ‘n Afrikaanse persoon van die Noord Kaap skryf ek die terugvoer verslag in Afrikaans.

Ek wil die personeel van die SADTC bedank vir ‘n wonderlike kursus. Dit is van Chris tot Oom Johannes. Vir die gasvryheid en vriendelikheid wat die personeel bied. Wat hulle ons van honde geleer het was wonderlik. Die kennis wat Chris en Christine vir ons oorgedra het kom van jare se ondervinding. Dit behels ook nie net die kennis van hond nie. Hulle leer jou ook om jouself te vind. Mens kom agter dat jy nederig en klein is in die lewe. Hulle leer jou ook mense kennis. Wat ek ook ondervind het is die hegte band van ‘n gelukkige en ondersteunende familie. Soos Chris heeldag sê. Hondemense bly nederig en opreg.+

Die instukteur kursus beveel ek ten sterkste aan. Enige persoon wat ‘n passie het vir honde en om dit ‘n lewenstyl wil maak, beveel ek aan om die kursus te doen. Die werk en opleiding is uiters professioneel. Die standaard is hoog en baie interesant. Ons het geleer en lekker gelag en die tyd geniet.
Magda se gastehuis beveel ek aan. Die kos is heerlik.

Dankie aan Chris en Christine. Julle is Wonderlike hondemense.

Hi Chris & Christine,

As you might have read from my blog, to me the course is still very relevant and I feel that it is the best course that I have done so far. I took my time to visit several dog training grounds just to have a feel and see their training methods. I can assure you that SADTC is the best.

I have not opened any dog training centre at the moment, but I am training my own dogs and my friends’ dogs and the results have been wonderful. I have not added anything to my knowledge but all what you taught me at the college and so far so good.

The only thing that I have to do is to come for a refresher course or training and that will put me in a better position to then open my own dog training centre.

As far as what I learned at the college is concerned, I am happy and will gladly make recommendations where I feel something has to be changed or done in a different way.

Regards,
Maqhawe

Hi Christine

It was an excellent course, value for money, much more than I initially expected. The exams were a surprise and made it more professional, and of course the practical’s were the best. When I tell everyone we wrote 4 exams, they were surprised and said, “So it’s quite serious”

It was good to meet all of you and some of the spouses. What I really love is to see how you guys are just so happy, keep it up!

A few words to express a big thank you for your understanding and it is humbling to meet people that find the time and humanity to care. I can assure you, that Jan only says the kindest, and also the funniest things about all of you, that includes the ‘Adams family’ and the Magda clan. The way all of you embraced him is truly something that shows the calibre of the human beings that you are.

Anyway, we are meeting tomorrow morning and going to chat a little bit and share what we can. I want to see her babies as well and I’ll go show her mine.

Clinton & Ansunet

We (my wife and I) went to the SADTC with high expectations but were amazed by the level of instructing we received, firstly they care for the dogs and understand dogs to the point where it amazes one.

Atmosphere was relaxed and Christine (little Napoleon) goes out of her way to ensure every instructor understands what is needed and relates to each persons individual level so everybody understands what and why they are doing things.

Plenty of theory helps one see dog training more “holistically” and then the practical helps you relate to the theory in bringing it all together.

In short we went as strangers soon became good friends and later left as family, and our lives are richer for it

“Keep a short leash not a tight one,” still resounds in my ears – thanks Chris, many a handler is going to get sick of me repeating these exact words.

Kindest regards

I spoke to Jan a bit earlier, he had a great day and was a real chatter box, and he loves the dog that has been allocated to him for tomorrow.

Once again, thank you so much for your intervention, insight, acceptance and empathy. Angels seem to come in many disguises. I think you have a great programme going! I admire your knowledge and insight

Let me tell you something, I think you have launched Jan towards his purpose in life.

My first adult class consists of 2 German Shepherd, a pointer and a Labrador that is my evening class, well every handler started by being pulled all over, after 3 to 4 lessons there was a huge improvement.

All is going good and with 12 students and more enrolled for next year, I am learning fast

Growing up from childhood having dogs which are not trained and still having the consistency of caring for pets, I must say, SADTC has given me more love to dogs than any other programs I watched on TV. I’ve never handled or trained with dogs until I registered for an Instructor course with SADTC. I’ve learnt what dog world entails and every dog owner I meet, I’m trying to coach or share my experience I received.

At the moment I preach about dogs to my friends and hope to educate them how to treat pets, not just only dogs. I’m considering starting a non-profit organisation in Mamelodi for all the dog lovers, to mostly, educate and demonstrate that a dog is man’s best friend.

Kind Regards,

Being at the SADTC and seeing what they do is just a positively overwhelming sight, but taking the actual instructors course with them, getting first-hand experience was for me priceless moments.

One thing is for certain, the more you learn about dogs, the more you want to learn and with Chris and Christine as your instructors you cannot go wrong. What I knew before I started on the course was the more you work with dogs the more experience you get. What I learned during this course and completing it, was extremely valuable to me.

I learned the more I work with the dogs the more I can learn from them. It taught me not just how to understand and help train them, but also how to apply as best as I can, their way of looking at life, into my way of looking at life; simple, uncomplicated, always forgiving and full of love.

Give Hugs to all

I just want to thank you opening a whole new world of opportunities for me. The instructor’s course was so much more than I expected. I loved every second of it. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge and experience with me. I will definitely be back for the advanced course; I’m really excited about that. I have a very special place in my heart for the both of you; you really made me feel part of the family from the first second of meeting you.

Please send my regards to Oom Johan and his girl Luna, and big hugs to Misty, the gorgeous husky girl – I miss them so much. I joined in with the dog training club in my area (the lady is also Christine) and I love every second of it. I also had a job offer at a vet, but I’m not ready to give up the beach yet, but I’m sure something similar will come up in my area in the near future. South Africa is blessed to have warm, loving and inspiring mentors such as yourself and I’m sure that you will move many more mountains for dogs and dog lovers in the future!

All my love,

Hi Christine

How are you and the family? I am well and got loads of good news to share.

It was tough finding grounds, to start off, after much asking around a hotel in the center of town has given me the go ahead to use their grounds, and payment is minimum wow, so we have a bar, restaurant, loo facility and fenced off parking bay, etc to start training.

So in short my club is Eden Dog Training Club, as for the other club it has dwindled away completely with 2 ladies who have other commitments. But they still function. My old club in C.T have 2 fly ball boxes for me and are adding training manuals, they not using them, just little jumps needed.

Have 5 new puppies without advertising, so yaaa that’s me in a nut shell.

Loads of love

To SADTC September 2011 Dear Chris and Christine I want to thank you both for your input into my life; you have given me a new vision and inspired me to be a better person, handler and instructor. With your passion Christine there is no doubt that any of your students would fail, as you only know how to make people succeed, with their dogs and without.

Your no nonsense attitude gave me the courage to be able to say no when it is no, yes when it is yes and to be firm at all times. Your approach to all your members was one of seniority, patience and guidance. You were able to see the cracks in my life and began plastering it up, with determination and go for it attitude. You gave me confidence in my ability to instruct people with their dogs.

I miss hearing your voice, and miss your club, as they are amazing people in the dog world. You have a fabulous team. A team is only as strong as their leader. You both have a awesome sense of humor and the college would not be where it is today without you both Chris you wear no mask and call a spade a spade, people like you are hard to find. Your slogan think like a dog, will always repeat itself in my head. And people check your attitude, yip that’s right now you thinking like a dog.

There are few people who left foot prints on your heart forever they impacted you to be a better man, and gave you understanding into the dog world, which you shared with all your students, your generosity with your knowledge will go a long way to saving many of dogs.

I learnt a lot by listening to you, and appreciate your honesty and sound advice. Chris you have a special family who love you, always good to see, and encouraging for others The course was more than I expected, well worth every penny spent. Staying at Suikerbosch was a wonderful experience and a must for all students, there hospitality great food and altogether a good company was the cherry on top of the course The course was extremely intense hard work, and a great challenge. Thank you both once again

SADTC, based in South Africa, is THE Dog Training College! Although several other such institutions may exist, SADTC should ALWAYS be your first choice when deciding to either train (or board) your dog/dogs, or when considering a career in dog training!

Although I may have attended University (for more then a few years) and received a few degrees in Zoology, I always felt that the more practical component was lacking, not to mention the shortage of enthusiasm displayed by many a lecturer. Unlike University however, that was most definitely NOT the case when I enrolled for the Instructors Course (Basic Home Obedience) presented by Chris and Christine. I am happy to report that this course far surpassed my expectations!! Chris and Christine are not only experienced presenters, but their enthusiasm is positively contagious! The study material presented to us was comprehensive, well laid out and easy to understand. The atmosphere was always relaxed and the course was presented in an informal manner – I never once felt out of place or too uncomfortable to ask a question. The practical tasks, though challenging, were exciting, fun to partake in, and highly rewarding!! This was without a doubt the most interesting and insightful course I have attended!!!

I believe that SADTC can be described as being: Successful, Accomplished, Driven, Tenacious, and Compassionate!! Not only do they care about the welfare and emotional state of all the dogs trained with them or boarded in their kennels, but they also care about every handler. I like to think of them as family, because I always feel at home in their company – they are always understanding, helpful and supportive.

Hi Chris and Christine

I would like to thank you both for the most incredible two weeks of my life. I have learnt a lot from you. You are really two very special people. It is good to know that there are still people like you out there who also love dogs as much as I do. Dogs are amazing creatures with wonderful qualities and thanks to you sharing your knowledge I am able to bring out the best in my dogs. ALL dogs need love and to be treated with respect, we as dog owners owe it to them. I really can recommend this course to anyone who wants to make a difference in a dog’s life. This course was a life changing experience for me and you made me see dogs through different eyes. Keep up your good work!

You made them happy too: Gina, Kushka, Kayla, Odie

The course I did in March 2011 was absolutely brilliant. A very worthwhile and interesting two weeks. I wish all dog owners, and indeed even prospective dog owners would do it – there is so much more to dogs then the average person thinks! I have learned so much and understand so much more now and can’t thank Chris and Christine enough for doing what they do. And I hope that my dogs have benefited from everything I’ve learned and put into practice and feel the same!

Anyway thanks again the course was brilliant.

Hi Christine & Chris!

Herewith my course report:

During January 2011 I came across the website of SADTC. After reading a few articles on the website I enquired about the Instructors course and was I mighty impressed with the quick response I received. This made me realize these people were serious and passionate about dog training.

A few days later I contacted Christine and made an appointment to go to SADTC to meet her and get a better idea of what the course would entail. On our arrival at SADTC (which was a Saturday) we noticed several groups of people with their dogs on the field busy with training, it struck me that everything was so organized and structured and again I was very impressed.

Then we met Christine a very energetic, confidant and friendly woman. She made us feel right at home by introducing us to everybody and explained to me what I needed to know. During the conversation Chris joined us, while talking to him I could see the passion he has for dogs in his eyes. That was it my mind was made up, SADTC was the perfect place for me to do my training. While walking back to our vehicle my husband told me that he had peace of mind leaving me in the capable hands of Chris and Christine for two weeks. That was yet another confirmation that SADTC was the right choice.

I started my training on 5 March 2011. SADTC is a wonderful place to study the venue is relaxing and stimulating. I really enjoyed having classes outdoors. (except for the few times the weather forced us inside) The two week course was very intensive with a lot of information to absorb but every day was a new experience. The study material is of the highest quality. I learnt not to only look at a dog but to observe to think and then to act. “Go back to basics” I would highly recommend SADTC to anyone who wish to get involved in dog training and the Instructors course is a must for all who has a passion to work with dogs.

CHRISTINE: I really enjoyed working with you and learning from you. You are brilliant with all dogs your ability to read a dogs behaviour is astounding. Your patience with dogs is out of this world (Referring to Turbo) you really have the interest of dog and handler at heart.

CHRIS: You are an excellent teacher with an abundance of knowledge, but yet you are so down to earth. You are approachable and humorous. You can truly paint a picture with words. Thanks to you I think like a dog and their behaviour make sense to me now.

CHRIS & CHRISTINE: Your Knowledge, passion, patience and professionalism made a huge impact on me and change my life forever. I really enjoyed being with you. Thank you for passing on your knowledge, for the encouragement and fun we had together.

I do believe you two are the BEST in the dog training field. YOU ARE FANTASTIC!!!!!!

Much Respect

Dog Instructor Class NigeriaHello Christine,

My family and i are all doing fine, we thank God for His mercy upon us, I’m doing fine in Dog Business.

So, I decided to train a dog for 2 weeks because I don’t have the facility to board dogs and I allow then to bring the dog food. But I think I will do better in future the way things are going.

I want to open a pet shop in my area so that people can be buying pet items from me.

Am happy to hear that the training went on successful, are you still holding the advance level in September? Pls let me know in time so that i can start my preparation right now.

How is my dear Chris? Please tell Bianta and Her husby that i miss them so much. i can wait to see them by September.

Take good care of yourself

Tomorrow I am starting my last week at training, but that will only be the beginning of a very long journey. This is a wonderful place to study, the environment and staff is super. It’s just amazing how much one can learn about dogs in one day, so you can imagine how much that is in two weeks?

I have seen and learnt so much. I will leave this place as a better person to help my people as I have always done in the past, but my understanding will be totally different.
I have been taught to always put the dog first.

I am attending with a bunch of dog lovers and it feels like I’m living in a dog world. We are such an amazing team, though we are from different back grounds and countries. We speak the same dog language and that is what matters. I will definitely miss the team and wonderful instructors. It’s amazing how you can make a difference in a dog’s life within such a short period.

I have worked with several dogs and they are all amazing animals. Looking forward to chat with all of you guys after the course and I will be able to give you a breakdown of the course and the two people who have made such a big impact in my life, Chris and Christine Van Der Westhuizen.

KEEP A “SHORT” NOT A “TIGHT” LEASH, till we chat again.

I have done a lot of investigation about people have dogs and the types. I have at hand 15 persons who have been dealing with dogs and are interested to join my classes. I have made arrangements to kick off with training next month.

I got my dogs along when I went out for work. I am able now to use them in Home obedience training. It has been a nice experience introducing this home basic training to my pets.

The Puppy and Obedience Instructors course that I completed with SADTC so many years ago, gave me a solid foundation for the rest of my career. I thoroughly enjoyed working and learning from the team at SADTC and nothing was every too much trouble for them, despite my many questions! Chris, Christine and family are an asset to the canine profession, run an excellent dog school and are, I believe, the leading authorities in the area. I can highly recommend their course.

Weereens wil ek julle bedank vir die fantastiese kursusse wat julle aanbied en die manier waarop julle studente toerus om selfversekerd kennis oor te dra en so ons passie “honde” te bevorder! Nóóit het ek gedink dat dit wat ek 3 jaar terug by en van julle geleer het, eendag in Pakistan van waarde sal wees nie!

Dog Instructor Class Level 2Dear Christine

I wanna share that story with you I can’t stop smiling! My girl Sheela before we went for a course was the sweetest teddy bear love everybody , especially my landlords when I’m not at home working long dbl shift at a restaurant they use to play with her teaching her bad habits like jumping on ppl and eat from the ground. I was no happy about it but nothing I could do I work hectic hours… Since we back home from the course my girl is changed! My landlady told me Sheela does not come out of cottage when I’m not at home and today was classic – I’m at work , my landlord smsed me and ask if he can come in to my place and fetch something I say yes of course !
Is normal I’ve been living there for 9 years I trust him!

5min later my landlord sms me saying: “little S#$t (Sheela) growled at him and won’t let him in!!!!! ” Lol. I just wanna say THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!!!

You work is amazing! I wanna continue protection work with my girl I think she gonna b amazing!

Loads of love kind regards

SADTC training methods focus on positive reinforcement but at the same time do not just pretend and/or ignore bad behaviour – many other schools are only focusing in praise and not correct wrong/bad behaviour.

Also, SADTC accepts that there are pack dynamics and does not claim that the dog does not come and/or is influenced from the wolf. Many “new age” schools are now advising the dog and wolf have no connection or similarities.

Also their methods make sense and are based upon knowledge and experience and clearly work.

After training at SADTC for a few weeks it was abundantly clear that handlers are encouraged to keep learning about their dog, and continued experience and knowledge is important.

The overall ability and knowledge of the members as a whole shows us clearly that SADTC and their members have a huge interest and a love for dogs – this is infectious and makes one want to be a better and more informed dog owner.

Hi Christine

Thanks for the assessment. I really appreciate your honesty and encouragement.

I am doing well over here still teaching Swazi students.

Concerning the job at our SPPC, i am very glad to inform you that I was called by the Chairman to inform me that hey have accepted my request to train their rescued dogs. I am still looking forward to that new challenge.

I am enjoying some of the lessons and dog advises given in the internet. At least now, everything makes sense to me. Thanks to your course. I am also trying to follow any dog program in TV and the amazing thing is that whatever they do, it is exactly what we learned during the course. Like you have said, once I start working with dogs here, I hope to improve my handling ability. There is a program called dog cell in Animal Planet, which work with transforming or correcting behavioral problems in dogs and its amazing how the behaviours change in 4 weeks. Another one in National Geographic channel is Dog whisper, which shows how dogs are trained in the USA. It is exactly what we have been doing. I am really enjoying watching this with so much relevant knowledge!

Thanks a Lot Hope to hear from you.
Wishing you all the best.

Hello Christine

How are you and Chris? It is good to hear from you again. Below is my assessment for the instructor course.

I learnt From SADTC that all dogs are the same, Good Dog Good Owner. I enjoyed the course; it was constructed and well delivered. It was a great foundation for me to start with in life.

The school is a home learning, a place to be all the time. The venue is a relaxing one and a pleasant working environment.

To Chris: – You are excellent Motivator, a Connector full with abundant knowledge. From you, I have learnt how to think like a dog in order to get thing right. You are my mentor, a fatherly one and forever you will be.

To Christine:- You are full of wonder, a professional Instructor. A genuine, concern and lovely mother. Your ability and capacity speaks a lot about you.

Your patience, your passion encourage both handler and dogs. I really enjoyed being with you, forever my heart will continue speaking about you.

Thank you Chris and Christine.

Also, my thank also goes to my friend Biata and her lovely Hubby Darrel, for their encouragement and hospitality during my course. You people are lovely family. I am putting all the knowledge into practice here in my Country and if I forget anything at all – I WILL ALWAYS GO BACK TO THE BASES.

To Whom It May Concern

I attended the September 2010 Basic Obedience Course that was presented at SADTC where I completed the course and am now a basic obedience instructor. I had no background in this field and it was all new to me. I started off doing research on the net for the most competent training facility and SADTC came out tops.

The two week course was drilling and exhausting but with all the experience and knowledge Chris and Christine had to offer, two weeks felt to short. There were so many bases to cover from raising your pup, diseases, as well as poison proofing and this was only the technical side of things. We still had to attend the practical, have first hand experience on how to present a class and how to handle difficult dogs as well as owners.

Every day was a new experience, a new learning curve; there was never a dull moment. Both Chris and Christine have been in their field for many years and they had all the experience on the do’s & don’t, previous harsh methods used and what’s the better option in today’s day and age and why? There wasn’t a question they couldn’t answer, a dog they couldn’t train. I was in awe of these two people.

SADTC facilities are clean, open and friendly. A very relaxed environment, where you could just let your mind wonder to the possibilities and take in as much information as possible.

I highly recommend SADTC, not just to take your dog for training but also if you are keen on becoming an instructor. Go for the best in the field you won’t ever look back.

I didn’t just learn about dogs and training, but I also became part of a family.

Yours sincerely
Estey

1. What I didn’t like

Well honestly, there’s not much I didn’t like, so this is a short bit…Very short, because I loved it!

2. What I liked

I took this course because I wanted to find some way to help Leah and my other dogs, and I’ve walked away with so much knowledge, I’m still trying to absorb it all! Thanks to Christine and Chris I have learnt to be more observant, to really look at a dog, look at his body posture, his handler’s body posture, and then to connect all the dots. Needless to say, that’s a skill that I find myself using with people now, because I’ve been taught to really look, and not just glance.

For me, Christine and Chris are the closest to dog whisperers I think I will come across in my life. From Chris I learnt how a dog thinks, what motivates (and de-motivates) him and how to understand him, and from Christine I’ve learnt how to read body language, how to speak to a dog and how to communicate with the handler… If I heard “don’t solve the problem, solve the cause” once, I heard a thousand times, but it must have sunk in at number 970, because I find myself trying to do it with every dog I see!

Christine and Chris you both answered every question patiently, even for the 10th time, and not once did I ever feel that you guys were getting impatient, despite how slow I was learning!! I’ve seen more than a hundred dogs on your training grounds on a Saturday, and not once have I seen a dog humiliated, hurt or yelled at … They all come in for some “school”, their tails are wagging and you can just see that they are having a ball! And that’s thanks to you guys … Thank you so much for one of the best experiences of my life!

It was such a nice positive experience, please keep it like that!! We all had lots of laughs, I loved sitting there watching the horses and breathing fresh air. For me it was the most stimulating environment to be in…

I learnt the S.A.D.T.C. way to communicate with my dog in an easier, kinder and more humane way, from the dog’s point of view. The entire course was very informative. I was humbled and ashamed by how little the human race actually knows about “mans’ best friend.”

Chris is an excellent teacher with an abundance of knowledge regarding every topic dog-related. He humbled the entire class with his passion for dogs and his genuine concern for what is in the dog’s best interest. He was professional at all times, while remaining open to opinions & suggestions and his humourous, down-to-earth attitude made the lessons more interesting and understandable.

Christine is brilliant with any and all dogs. Her ability to recognize and react to a dog’s mood or behaviour is so interesting. She has a genuine concern & love for dogs and people. She is excellent practically and is able to teach inexperience handlers & beginner dogs in a short amount of time. Her patience along with her passion to aspire handlers & dogs makes her so successful. She was professional throughout the course, while remaining approachable & humourous.

The venue was relaxing and it was pleasant working outdoors, the tuck shop was also very useful. Overall the course was insightful, interesting, kind & motivational.

The most valuable information I learnt was how to read the different behaviours of dogs and realizing how little mistakes can make a big difference.

Chris & Christine are very knowledgeable. I enjoyed both the theory and the practical.

I thoroughly enjoyed the course, the topics were really interesting and there was just so much to absorb. Thank you to Chris & Christine for passing on all their knowledge and experience. I also enjoyed all the practical sessions working with the different breeds and learning their characters.

Thank you very much for your time, effort and understanding during the course, I would love to find out and learn more.

Hi guys,

Here is my comments on the instructors course:

The “Meet and Greet” the night before the course started was an excellent idea! Your warm welcome and introduction to everyone made me feel right at home even though I was so far away from home

Information and practical experience given throughout the course was an excellent way of laying down a foundation of knowledge to be able to start our own dog training club.

The only “downfall” that I found was that the afternoons with the theory felt a bit long. Even though Chris spoke with great enthusiasm, I thought that if you could somehow manage to sometimes maybe have the theory class in the morning and practical in the afternoon.

I am very satisfied with the course and the information supplied to us. And will definitely come back for more!

When I left Ladysmith to attend your course I thought I had a great love for dogs, but when I returned I loved and respected them even more because I understood so much more.

I can’t wait to start educating my fellow dog owners so that they may also experience the same love and respect for their companions.

Thank you to both of you (Chris & Chirstene) and to Biata and Darrel for your laughs and support and sharing of knowledge! You are the perfect family and absolutely my role models!

I also hope to get my practical assessment from you soon!

Barkingly Yours,
Naomi Coetzee

Thanks for the good words! It is great too hear coming from you, I sure will bug you if I feel I am stuck with something. Like I said “I think your course was not only puppies and home obedience, but much more. I think you should rename this course like “The dog instructors bible” because that is what it is. One can branch out into any field of training from here, but this is a must do.

Hope to work with you again soon. See ya just now!

Chris and Christine

My journey started on the day we contacted you stressed about Somoya growing up and having me for breakfast and you went out of your way to assist me with the problem. The first day I arrived at the college I never could dream what was lying ahead. My whole life changed there and then. I made a decision which at the time I did not realize Was going to be such a rewarding intense decision. I have always wanted to do something for the animals but was not sure what now I knew this could be the way to do it And I thought “this is easy and rewarding”, well was I in for a surprise.

I continued my training with Somoya and enjoyed it but my actual course started with SADTC on the 5/09/2009 and it was amazing from the first day forward, even though the course was very intense I really enjoyed every minute of it and have never had such an interesting experience every day I just wanted to learn more and more, leaving today wondering what I will learn tomorrow and you did not disappoint me one day.

I have always loved animals but the last couple of months, particularly the course, has opened my eyes as to why I love animals. I always thought it was because they are cute and furry but It is because they are such amazing animals and you both have helped me see a different side of them Thank you so much for the wonderfull experience and for making me aware of what I did not know and realised, I learned so much from you both and hope that you will continue sharing your Expertise with us and others.

When is the next course?

Enjoy your holiday and thanks again the course was absolutely wonderful

Hi Christine

The seminar was brilliant, 10/10 for the subjects presented. your knowledge on behavior and training is astounding.
The venue was great, 8/10 a few more comfortable chairs would be great.

I would most definitely attend more seminars, I think you guys are exceptional presenters. What I like about you guys is that you talk normal language, and make it easy to understand. Also if I didn’t understand something you were more than willing to show and discuss things with me.

If anyone ever ask me where I learned the most on behavior it would be from you guys. I think all the people that study ethology must attend your seminars, you guys put everything into perspective.

I would like to say this course was intense, and maybe recommend that when you do another 1 that you give the guys a bit more time off. maybe a Sunday afternoon.

thank you guys for everything, you made me realize that it’s not just a job, it is a lifestyle. I thank God that I met you guys, you gave me confidence and something to work for and believe in.

I wish maybe 1 day to have just a little bit of your knowledge and drive.

Bacci & Paollino

Greyhound Obedience Training

Bacci & Paollino were both devious thieves who spent all day running around their owner’s massive property. The female Bacci was more excitable than the male. They both jumped up on visitors. They seemed to behave when the Manager of the farm was around, but when she was not there they were incredibly naughty. The female is very intelligent, but she distrusts humans immensely. The Manager stated that SADTC would understand dog psyche more than she would, and hoped that the dogs could be re-trained!

I would just like to give you a little feedback on the brats!!! Well they aren’t such brats anymore. Today the dog washers came – it was their first bath since leaving your care. Paollino was a breeze. He behaved immaculately and was easy to handle and catch. Bacci, in fact wasn’t much different to him. She behaved very well until the last few minutes when she snapped at the handler who was bathing her, while she was trying to clip her front nails. She didn’t seem to like her foot being picked up, as opposed to the actual clipping. Peter and I distracted her and rewarded and praised any good behaviour and positive attitude and then she calmed down a lot and accepted the work on her front feet. I am VERY pleased with how they are coming along. They do not skulk into the house anymore and steal things. They do not steal food from the maids quarters anymore. The dogs’ mealtimes are more relaxed, and they are eating better – Bacci has put on a lot of weight J

They were both treated to pretty new collars – Bacci has a bright pink, and Paollino with a bright blue one. I spend a good 10 minutes with them each day, although it’s not always obedience training, praising good behaviour, making them sit and lay down etc. They enjoy the interaction and almost do tricks just to try and please me! It’s great, and I am actually slowly starting to like them. I was just indifferent to them in the past. But now they greet me properly, with respect and are very calm.

The greyhounds are doing very, very well. I have really bonded with them now and they treat me very respectfully. When they come to greet me, they turn around in front of me and sit or lie down without being asked. I think that is quite good, because it seems to me that they are settled. They do not hassle guests anymore, they play gently with Bella (the Beagle in the photo), and they have stopped stealing so much! When Peter went away on long term sick leave, another chap David took over the feeding duties, and the dogs also bonded with David. However, when Peter came back the dogs didn’t quite know what to do. But now they have actually spilt up (we were gob smacked!!!), and the female, Bacci spends her whole day with David. Paolino has decided to stay with Peter. So for most of the day they are apart, which I think has benefited them greatly.

Thank you so very much for the work that you and your family did with our dogs. It has made our lives easier, but their lives much nicer as well, as they interact properly with people now! It was of course you that set the ball rolling, so we are very grateful!!!

Male Rottweiler Obedience Training

Denzel, a stunning male Rottweiler of 9 months was a nightmare for the owners when he came in, he was destructive, not listening to commands, etc. He was also extremely strong for his age. We kept him with us for 2 weeks and the owners were thrilled when they collected him as he is now a well behaved member of the family.

Diesel

Male Rottweiler Dog Training

Diesel, a male Rottweiler was not at all keen on other dogs. Due to this people would also often avoid him as they were quite intimidated by his attitude and size. We worked with John, his owner, and Diesel, shaping behaviour and desensitising him to other dogs, etc. John and Diesel are now in the semi-advanced class and Diesel is a much more controlled, happier animal that is keen to work and not worry about the rest. People now comment on how great Diesel is working and what a different dog he is.
