Really enjoyed this one.
I do not want Chris to retire, he is a very good leader. The pressure Christine puts on us feels very constructive and very happy.
I was very happy and woke up excited each morning. I can’t wait to start my career in the dog world.
The most valuable thing I learnt was how they showed standards and how they are marked.
Venue was good. Loved it.
The very in-depth behaviour was awesome, as well as the higher level competition work.
It was great. I enjoyed the presenters and the work, and I enjoyed the instructors as well.
I enjoyed working with aggressive dogs and what techniques to use.
They are brilliant. The course is brilliant and fun, I enjoyed it and it truly has changed my life.
Hello Chris! I hope you and the family are well! Please send all my love! I wanted to thank you all once again for your guidance and expert knowledge that everyone at SADTC brought me. I have just had a long time client, with their Great Dane (just over 1 year old intact bitch)listen to my recommendation and get their dog to a vet before starting with behaviour modification. They sent their dog to me for board and I noticed a new behaviour. She will furiously chase her tail to the point of hurting it when anything raises her threshold. I tried exercising her out and working the mind, didn’t change it. Recommended she go to the vet and rule anything out. Lo and behold, it is a situation that requires medication and she will be right as rain with the right management going forward. They thanked me profusely because the vet said it is hard to pinpoint and people mistake the tail chasing as boredom and boredom alone. It wasn’t adding up for me so I told her VET before they see me again and she is coming to me again on Thursday so I will monitor and see.
Thank you for teaching me the importance of being humble. There are too many hectic dog trainers out there all fighting and being crazy against one another and forgetting we do this for the dogs and the owners who care. Thank you to you, Christine, Biata and everyone who worked with me. I look forward to maybe popping by next time I’m up again to say hello
Your dedication and passion is contagious, I loved it out here. I should quit my job and only attend seminars, etc here. Besides for feeling like family, the knowledge & expertise we can access here is priceless.
I have thoroughly enjoyed the course and I have benefited greatly from Chris & Christine’s many years of experience which they are more than willing to share – a quality that is sometimes lacking in the dog training world. Their love for the dogs is apparent and I’m grateful for the opportunity to have been able to learn from them.
The course was amazing, working with all the dogs and great to hear the handlers helping each other. The presenters are perfect in their respective fields.
All great, presenters/presentations were packed with knowledge, especially experience that we got to see first-hand.
Thank you for helping me learn so much more, I will be back for Therapy courses.
Marietjie did our instructor courses and taught in Pakistan, and made great headway for the legislation for animal rights etc.
Chris Vd Westhuizen thanks for all the knowledge gained through you & Christine @SA Dog Training College! One of the best ‘investments’ in my life!

Thank you for the support. You guys have played a very important part of what I do.
Ever so grateful. I’m working towards (long term) to be endorsed with your Puppy Seminar. I think it has the potential to do very well in KZN. You guys will come and launch it here.
SA Dog Training College is AMAZING! I’ve completed the instructor course level 1 and can’t wait to complete level 2 and 3. Their knowledge is incredible. I highly recommend SADTC.
Dear 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
