Macaela – Brakenhurst

I really enjoyed my first lesson and so did Odin! He was exhausted by the time we got home. I would recommend SADTC to anyone with a puppy!

Our first lesson was on Saturday at Kliprivier. It was wonderful, although my dog has energy in abundance, and couldn’t sit still. 

The trainer knows what to do and that made it a lot easier.

Thank you for the email – we (Debbie, Ben, Leon and our bullie Rocky) are all VERY happy with the first lesson!

It went a lot better than we initially thought and we were nervous, but Biata did an excellent job to calm all of us down (incl Rocky).

Our son (Leon) is already looking forward to the 2nd lesson.

Derek – Brackendowns

Hi Romayne/Christine/Chris

First of all, I would like to thank you guys for the service you provide.

I’ve had 5 other boerboels over the years however he is on an entire new ADHD level when he is out of his comfort one. 

Even after these two lessons I can already see a difference in both me and Dozer.

He is responsive to commands, and I believe both Dozer and I are learning in ginormous steps.

I believe this is where the issue is at this stage. After going through training with him on Saturday, I believe I require more training with you guys before introducing Dozer. I was hoping that I can complete the current training with our Bassett Hound and then train Dozer at home with the basic commands as well. Get both Dozer and me more confident and then train Dozer with you with your next training group.  This will obviously be with paying training costs for both him and the Basset hound. 

Training type: Dog Training (Instructor – Christopher – Klipriver)

SA Dog Training

Priyanka – Lenasia

The first lesson was great, there was a lot to learn even though we came for the theory class, still had some minor adjustments to make with body language and signals. Still learning along the way but will continue to improve and understand the basics.

Overall, very good lesson. Had an extremely tired puppy afterwards.

Training type: Dog Training (Instructor – Brett – Klipriver)

SA Dog Training

Maronel – Balfour

First lesson was a bit overwhelming with all the new information and having the puppies there for the first time, but very informative. 

Looking forward to the rest of the training.

Training type: Dog Training (Instructor – Brett – Klipriver)

SA Dog Training

Mark – Brakendowns

First lesson was excellent. Would have liked a bit more socialising of the puppies, as most of us did say that our puppies are not very well socialised.

But maybe that is still coming.

Training type: Dog Training (Instructor – Christopher – Klipriver)

SA Dog Training

Lola – The Hill

Hi Romayne

It was absolutely great, my brother and I learnt a lot.

I am still very nervous getting them out of the car.

But we have been doing our homework, and they are doing very well at ‘home’. It is even working a little bit when someone walks past the house, they sort of come when we call them which never happened before, like never.

Lesson one is a big step for us.

Training type: Dog Training (Instructor – Christopher – Klipriver)

SA Dog Training

Duane – Randhart

The first lesson went well, our pup was extremely scared and withdrawn which was a bit disheartening, but with the help and assurance of our instructors we became a lot more at ease.

We are really happy with the interactivity from the team and look forward to learning a lot more and building our pup’s confidence.

Elize – Vereeniging

Thank you for your email. Our first lesson was ok, it felt a bit overwhelming as there were a lot of dogs in the puppy class. It was a bit hard to hear the instructor but I understand it’s the nature of the environment.

We are looking forward to the rest of the lessons. I am sure it will get a bit easier over the next few weeks as we get used to it.

I think our first lesson at Klipriver was fine. Kayla was the handler and she did feel a bit of an odd one out being the only child, but she’s excited for the next lesson.

So I think it’s going good so far.

Chris was fantastic, extremely patient with me when I started, I was so stressed out but after an hour, it actually felt as though I had been to a therapy session!

Training type: Dog Training (Instructor – Christopher – Klipriver)

Chantelle

I really enjoyed our first training session at Kliprivier. Mackayla was really efficient and communicated very well with both me and my dog. What I appreciated very much is that she gave us homework in not only obedience work, but also in therapy training tips for what we aim to have at the end of the process. 

Petunia loved everything and especially all the attention she received. She was dead tired and slept the rest of the afternoon away. 

I want to give some feedback about Pitunia (after just two lessons with you guys). Last weekend we went on a hike at a park with many other dogs, people, and mountain bikes. Normally I had so much trouble getting her under control, and eating at the pet-friendly restaurant afterward was out of the question. I took a friend along with me who knows Pitunia as being a handful. She was so obedient – to the extent that we had a lovely lunch at the restaurant with no issues at all. She listened to all the commands I gave her without too much trouble. My friend even sent me a voicenote later that night saying how he is super impressed with the training so far as he has seen another side of Pitunia and even in my way of handling and speaking to her.

Looking forward to this coming weekend’s training!

Romina – Oaklands

Thank you for checking in. The first practical lesson was amazing! Debbie was wonderful – she is so patient, kind and incredibly informative. She explained everything so clearly and made us feel very comfortable throughout the lesson. We learnt so much from her already and were really happy with how she worked with King. We’re really looking forward to continuing his training with her. 

Training type: Dog Training (Instructor – Debbie – Klipriver)

SA Dog Training

Hannetjie and Shaun Brackenhurst

We loved our first lesson, I’ve trained with SADTC before, many years ago, and I’m happy that none of the standards have faltered. Our pups were a bit overwhelmed, but I know they will start to love class very soon. 

“New” Chris is great, his guidance and advice were very helpful and he did it with a lot of patience, “Old” Chris is still a legend and his knowledge is second to none, he still has a passion to share his knowledge, the same passion I experienced the first time I trained there. I loved having him in class

Hubby was also a bit overwhelmed, and his patience were tested to the limit, he is used to giving orders and being obeyed the first time, and now a little stubborn puppy is humbling him.

Can’t wait for our next class.

I must tell you that the S.A.D.T.C is our only choice.

We had such a wonderful experience with our two boxers (Mitch & Jar Jar) when we last came for training (us included).

It really enriched both our lives as well as the doggies.

I look forward to returning.

Hi there, the lesson was good. It was a bit challenging getting our boy to calm down at first as there was a lot of dogs barking and some a bit reactive.

Training type: Dog Training (Instructor – Debbie – Klipriver)

SA Dog Training

Bryan

We really enjoyed the first session!

We did feel a bit shell-shocked at first, as we jumped straight into the lesson with about-turns and other exercises. It felt like we may have missed a session. That said, we quickly caught up with the pace and appreciated the hands-on approach.

We understand this is the Obedience course, so the intensity makes sense—but the jump from the theory session to the practical lesson was quite noticeable. We’re planning to arrive a bit earlier next time to help Hiro settle in and get her bearings before class starts.

Overall, we truly enjoyed the experience and are looking forward to the next session.

Training type: Dog Training (Instructor – Biata – Klipriver)

I am well hope you are too. I enjoyed the class. It is a big class, so Debbie had to repeat everything she said.

Thanks so much for our first class! I was looking for a much more structured and thorough training course, and I think this is just perfect for us.

The tip of hand feeding at home has really helped and I feel like Maple is a lot more engaged now and training is a lot more productive. She is also very happy in the collar you recommended.

Training type: Dog Training (Instructor – Biata – Klipriver)

SA Dog Training

Kirsten

The first lesson was fine, thank you. It was quite basic in that we repeated the sit, down, stand and look commands that Chris had asked us to practice at the orientation lesson. But I think a basic first lesson is necessary as the pups are over stimulated by the new environment, so I think this was appropriate. 

I did find that the trainer at Honeydew (forgot his name) tends to take a ‘punitive’ approach; asking questions with the intent of using incorrect answers as an example to the others which, by the end of the class meant people were less likely to want to answer in fear of being wrong. Having said that I think the trainer relaxed a bit by the end, and he began listening a bit more. 

So overall it was good, although there were moments of concern. I look forward to future lessons, thank you.

Thank you to Biata for a very interesting class. We really enjoyed working with her and got a lot out of the class. We really like that Biata is firm with people, she sees where we are struggling and makes suggestions to correct and help. The only thing we would change is extra homework. We work on the tasks set at training, but it would be nice if extra tasks to work on during the week could be suggested. Thank you.

The first lesson was very informative.  Some of how I was approaching the training was corrected, although Koa wasn’t very co-operative because he was so distracted – I can definitely see the value of this training already!

Just a shoutout to @Romayne.  You are truly the backbone of SADTC keeping everything together and organized. Answering all the messages and emails.  Keeping track of payments and orders. Keeping us informed of who will be attending classes and who won’t.

You are an absolute STAR! THANK YOU! Thanks for your unwavering help and assistance at all times. 

Christopher and his assistant are absolutely amazing, patient and gentle with the pups. He is extremely knowledgeable in regard to not just training but the general anatomy and behaviour of dogs and I look forward to learning from him! I can already see a difference in my puppy dog.

Normally I had so much trouble getting her under control, and eating at the pet-friendly restaurant afterward was out of the question. I took a friend along with me who knows Petunia as being a handful. She was so obedient – to the extent that we had a lovely lunch at the restaurant with no issues at all. She listened to all the commands I gave her without too much trouble. My friend even sent me a voice note later that night saying how he is super impressed with the training so far as he has seen another side of Petunia and even in my way of handling and speaking to her. 

Looking forward to this coming weekend’s training! Thanks so much for checking in – I really appreciate it!

Willem thoroughly enjoyed his first class. I found Chris to be very knowledgeable and he was very helpful.

I was also quite impressed in his ability to manage the class. Thank you for your time and effort.

First class was very informative and a lot of fun. Chris is really great with the dogs and super knowledgeable. I appreciated that he took the time to give one-on-one instructions to each handler. Can’t wait for the next class.

Our first lesson was incredibly well received by Robyn and Sterling. Information was clearly and easily conveyed to us. In terms of a rating, easily 10/10. Professional, interactive, informative and just a pure joy to be apart of. Looking forward to the rest of the program and the results.
