Testimonies Just a few words from clients which DogEase have had the pleasure of helping. Lyn-Ann with Ria (11 weeks old) Private Puppy Lesson As being first time pet owners we were thrown into wondering where we start. We purchased several books on puppy training; the only problem was we never had the time to read them all to get the basics. Surfing the net we found Dog Ease and Ease it was. Three short steps were all it took to get our puppy trained. Telephoned Dog Ease and an appointment made for the next week. Dog Ease came to our home so that Ria was in her own surroundings. Several pages of information left with us on basic training with clear explanations. From our family’s point of view having someone like Sacha take the time to explain, show us what we needed to do, and assure us that what Ria was doing was normal all in an hour and a half was a godsend. All we needed was 15-20 minutes a day to repeat what we had been taught. After one week: Ria now does not wet on the tiles, sleeps throught the night, waits until you tell her to eat, doesn’t bite and if you are asking is she the same puppy? Yes she is! Sacha A very Big Thank you.   Snowy and Minsky (Aged 2 1/2 ) Behaviour Consultation Unfortunately Snowy had been on drug therapy for a very long time which was advised after talking with a vet, drug therapy is something that I prefer not to use unless it is an extreme case, however if drug therapy is required a behaviour modification program MUST be in place. Unfortunately for Snowy and her owners she did not need drugs, it was a simple case of mixed messages which resorted in her having a massive barking problem and fearful nature.  Once Snowy's behaviour problems had been addressed and a program put in place the owners where then able to reduce the drugs and very soon will not have to use them at all. Once Snowy's behaviour had improved the owners then asked DogEase to return for a private obedience lesson. Although Minsky (Snowy's sister) did not have behaviour problems both dogs benefited from the changes which the owners made. They are now able to go for walks and have some basic commands in place. This a classic example of how learning to be a leader in the correct way using NON aggressive methods can work and will able you to teach obedience commands. The relationship has to be right first, and then the obedience is easy. Dear Sacha, I just wanted to thank-you for everything you have done to help us & our little dog Snowy. Snowy is now almost completely off medication for her behaviour problems which she has been on for more than a year & is a much happier & more confident little dog. The information you gave us has been invaluable, Snowy responded instantly when we changed how we trained her & followed your rules. We had struggled for over 2 years Sacha & you helped us in one visit. We can’t thank-you enough; we only wish we had met you earlier! Kind Regards Leigh & Andrew Mason & Snowy.   Berni James - Seven Hills Jemma (11 months) Six-day In-Home Training I heard about Dogease through a friend. With a new baby I was keen to get out walking but felt guilty every time as we would leave our gorgeous Labrador at home. She's never been easy on the lead but with the pram, I found her pulling got worse and I felt unsafe. Sacha immediately understood our worries and I felt confident in booking a course which could also address some other problems. Sacha showed an amazing understanding and ability with our dog. I can't say enough what a difference it has made. Well worth it!! Thank you Sacha.   Ruby (12 months) Six-Day In-Home Training Our dog weighs 58kg at 12 mths. Like any puppy, she is very excitable which is fine at half her size but not at 58kg! We seemed to spend our time yelling "Ruby NO" (just ask our neighbours!). It was impossible to walk her and she refused to come when called. A friend recommended Sacha and the results have been nothing less than extraordinary. We quickly learnt that we were the ones that needed training on how to be leaders to our dog. Now Ruby actually listens to us. We can take her for walks, if we tell her to drop, sit, stay, heel, come ... she will do it without hesitation. In my opinion, Sacha is the Dog Whisperer of Brisbane and I cannot recommend more highly. She's a great girl, says it how it is, gives loads of advice and most importantly, gets the results and fast!   Megan Conners Ashgrove My neighbour's new dog was driving me insane - barking intermittently through the night and at me whenever I'd go to hang out the washing. I'd heard about dogease through my friend and so gently hinted to my neighbour that they should give Dogease a try. Sure enough they did and I'm back to having restful nights and enjoying my own backyard again. Yay!
