With my consultation with Judi I found her to be very informative and concise with an action plan. She was spot on with what she was saying and gave me great tools to overcome my 14 mths old Rottweiler love of chasing cars and attention seeking behaviour. A decent down to earth person.

We recently adopted our 7 year old Staffy (our old man as we like to call him). As we were going on holidays and lodging him at a kennel for the duration, we found Judi @ Pro K9 provides private tuition for 10 days which was coincidently the length of time we were going away- and the cost was really good value.

We picked up our old man yesterday, and boy - what magic Judi has done! Any training I'd tried at home had proved fruitless in the past. Now she has managed to get our stubborn boy to love learning new things! Judi was able to tailor obedience training to suit his level and needs, teaching him so much and opening the door to learn so much more. She also spent a good amount of time showing us the best approach for his handling.

I'm so grateful to Judi. I can tell she is really passionate about what she does, and is a fantastic communicator. Don't look anywhere else, people!

Judy was very knowledgable,experienced and forthright in her recommmendations and suggestions. She spent more than our allocated time with us helping deal with a few issues we are faced with. She was easy to speak to, friendly and no question was too silly. we have implemented a few of her suggestions already and are seeing results. we would recommend judy to anyone experiencing issues with their dog/s as she has the tools you need to solve the problem. thanks judy.

Approximate cost: $250

Spoke to a very lovely lady at Prok9 in regards to a behaviour my dog has just started. She was very good, offered quite a few strategies to improve the situation over the phone.She was very blunt in explaining where my partner and I had gone wrong which is what we need sometimes. Thanks for the help Judi!

Lol â?¦. "blunt"? Yes - that I was (although I like to coin it in a phrase of "call a spade a spade") and the reason behind this is to keep advice and the explanations as clear and as succinct as possible. We need to make training (obedience and behavioural) crystal clear for our dogs to learn what we are trying to teach and sometimes the clear message to the handlers so they can see where the path lays ahead of them proves as a short-cut to the understanding necessary.

I'm really pleased that you took the step to call me. You identified a problem that unless worked with to resolve it can become quite significant and you took a step to find out what you could do for your dog. That, to me, is the height of responsibility and shows how much you really care and love your dog.

Thanks for contacting me. I don't normally consult via the telephone as working with behaviours generally requires the benefit of observation. I'm here should you need and you know how to contact me, but I hope the tips and explanation I gave you to assist in understanding your dog more clearly prove to be of benefit.

Would look forward to hearing from you as to how things are working out :) .

Regards

Judi is very knowledgable and willing to help, I wrote to her asking for advice on training for our new puppy. She spent an hour on the phone explaining techniques and providing insight into obedience training. This was all free advice, she didn't have to do this but she wanted to help me. I'm going to implement her strategies and hopefully give our puppy a great start.

We at Pro-K9 really appreciate the reviews our customers and clients provide us and we really love that the information, guidance and tuition we provide is valued and assists in raising dogs to be the best they can be and to becoming good members of the community. Of course, every pup/dog and owner are individuals and no one combination is the same so if you come across sticking-points during the course of your life-time with your pup/dog you know how to contact us to arrange to get together so that advice given can be tailored to you and your pup/dog's specific needs. We really hope you enjoy the journey of learning with your pup and that you spend the years throughout your pup's life sharing the fun of training.

I cannot recommend Judi and ProK9 dog training highly enough! Because of Judi I now finally have a proper understanding of my dogs. She was professional, friendly and definitely knows her stuff. Working with Judi is one of the best things I've ever done for my dogs.

Hi Shanneny. Thank you very much for submitting a review of the service we have provided you. My apologies for the delay in sending you this note of appreciation - I'd been struck by the flu at the time your review came through and after a couple of weeks for recovery am now fully back on my feet hitting the ground running catching up with client progress and coaching. We here at Pro-K9 are stoked that the information provided to you granted you an awareness of your dog's perception of the world. Beginning to understand this helps immensely with understanding your dog, helping him to learn and to establish that harmonic relationship you can both share throughout your companionship together. All the best with everything you venture together and know that we are here for you should you require our services in the future.

It was a great experience talking to Judi. Though I am offshore, her insights enlighten me on how I should treat my dog. They are family and we should love and respect them. Great ideas on mind exercises!! Great Job! You are an inspiration, Judi! :)

Thanks Alyn :). It was a pleasure speaking with you today, and fantastic that I can think that some of Pro-K9's training advice and tips can venture beyond Australia and to other parts of the World!

We started out with Pro-K9 with a visit at home from Judi Buchan for a dog behaviour consultation and were so thrilled by the outcome that we enrolled in Pro-K9 dog obedience training classes straight away and made it all the way to Undergrad level. With a dog that started out as a fearful and shy little thing; now both my dog and i have built heaps in confidence thanks to Pro-K9.

Hi Cala - really appreciate your review, thanks!. I have been thrilled with the progress you made with your boy - a testament to you, really, as you took on board the instruction and consistently followed the exercises set for you. It's been a pleasure to work with you both and be afforded the opportunity to witness your progress with him. Well done! Cheers!

Have had only 3 lessons with Judi and have been surprised at how quickly she has helped both my dog (husky) and myself to learn to walk together as one rather than the dog taking me for a walk.
Still some training to go but very happy so far.

Thanks for your review! Really pleased that your girl has progressed as well and as fast as she has. It has only been 3 lessons - she is pretty quick to catch on to learning skills provided the method of training is clear :). She's a lovely dog. I have been thinking of you since the last lesson a couple of days ago and actually want to talk with you to cover something else I've thought of. I'll look forward to hearing from you if you'd give me a call :). Regards from Judi at Pro-K9

Judi and ProK9 have been great for our dog. Although she still has a long way to go, our dog has really begun responding to training. And if something in her training is not working, Judi keeps finding an alternative for us to try until we find something that works. I also find that I am able to enjoy time with my dog again.

Thanks for taking the time to submit a review, BandIc. It's great that after such a short period of time you're already beginning to see improvements. Moreover, those improvements are happening because you're following the program set in place to gain the best from your dog. So the good work is actually yours :). Please keep in touch with us at Pro-K9 to let us know how things are going.
