~ Dog Listener Testimonials ~ Cerberus K9 Behaviour Training Within the first 48 hours we had a puppy which we were more confident of, and so much more of a pleasure to be with. She was calmer and so were we! We never realised simple methods would be so effective and my parents are going to try this with their dogs in India too. Thank you dog listeners and thank you Julia. Jayant and Charu Bendigo, Victoria ~ ~ ~ Jennie Oliver Dog Listener Jennie has been an absolute god send, she has been a huge pillar of strength and reassurance. Padfoot has been so trying of our patience, mentally and physically. Thank you Jennie! Michele Claremont, Western Australia ~ ~ ~ K9Wavelength When Lynne, was referred to us by Michaela Newell of the Animal Re-homing Service, myself and my partner were almost at the stage where we needed to re-home a dog. Our dogs had been in a few fights between each other over food and dominance issues. I didn't want to give up on our pets. I loved them both very much. Both dogs were rescue dogs, Our first dog Shari (amstaff x ridgeback) has been at home with us 6 months prior to getting Sharni (staffy x boxer/kelpie). I had been careful selecting a new dog and Shari had met Sharni twice prior to getting her, We also had a week trial before we went ahead with adopting her. The dogs got on like a house on fire, we had sharni nearly 6 months and issues started to arise, with dominance and issues over food. We also had issues with Sharni, she was a scared and frightened dog whom lived in fear (she also had obsessive nature) and having another dominant female dog didn't help, especially with Shari's docile nature she flew well under the radar and we could not see how she was managing Sharni's behaviour.... Lynne came to help us, take control of the pack and help us to live in harmony. She came to help us in September of last year, And all I can say is she really rose to the occasion, with complete and utter respect for us and our pets. She made us understand there behaviour and why these dogs were fighting. Lynne has been there every step of the way, morning noon and night. She really helped us calm both our dogs and put Dog listening in place. Lynne helped us communicate with our dogs, and understand the pack society they live in. Our dogs now are learning to think freely for themselves and in turn we have a positive nature between our dogs at home,They are now able to play with each other and this is just over six months down the track. We are still putting our skills to the test... And I know Lynne will be there every step of the way. The ongoing support has been a blessing....I now have a calm happy dogs. I truly believe in Lynne and dog listening possibilities. I recommend this wonderful lady and her peers to anyone out there with issues with our fellow mans best friend and commend her on her great work. Evania Watsonia North, Victoria ~ ~ ~ Fun4Paws Luke had an amazing way of conveying his message. Our dog is completely transformed into a calm and happy pup. He has completely exceeded our expectations and I will continue to sing his praises! Elisabeth Sunbury, Victoria ~ ~ ~ K9 Solutions One of my dogs has a unique issue and I wasn't confident that Alistair would be able to help. The assistance and information he has given to me today, I am hoping will help in having a happy and calmer dog. Anthea Karama, Northern Territory ~ ~ ~ Pawsitive K9 Care My dog had been in a dog rescue for 2 years - found abandoned in a house with 9 puppies - female German Shepherd, approximately 2.5-3 years. Very hyper and anxious. Did not like separation, jumped a 5'5 fence. It was nice to meet Samantha Graham, she was helpful, considerate and excellent with any dog, Samantha was encouraging and positive in ideas. The system of ignoring the dog on entering worked positively (although it was foreign to me until viewing the Jan Fennell DVD). Every person and dog is individual. It is vital that no Dog Listener is derogatory to the owner as would have a negative effect. Samantha's manner on the phone gave me confidence to cope with a difficult dog at a difficult time, I lost my beloved dog at Easter after 9 years. My dog Kali has had to integrate with 4 cats and birds, and another dog Kelvin 9 years old. I have homed 3 dogs and the Dog Listener approach has been very helpful to me although I have always had dogs all my life. Jackie Maida Vale, Western Australia ~ ~ ~ Simply Canine Belinda is the best thing that has happened to our 'pack'! I would reccommend to anyone who has a dog to to get a consult from a Dog Listener. I now understand how my dog thinks and acts, and why he does so. The difference in the last 3 weeks is incredible, and I know everything is going to get better and better with time. The demolition of our back yard has almost come to a halt! Belinda, we can't thank you enough! Carli Singleton Heights, New South Wales ~ ~ ~ Cerberus K9 Behaviour Training I found my dog dumped in NOV 2009. He therefore had problems that needed special care and understanding, as did I as I have never owned a dog before. Julia came to the rescue when I felt I could not cope with this huge 30kg dog. Phone calls, house calls, emails helped us through. A very special personal service. Kathy Bendigo, Victoria ~ ~ ~ Simply Canine Belinda was very lovely and listened to us very well. We felt very comfortable with her which was very important to us as our dogs are our world! We have seen a huge change in our pack already which has been fantastic. It was hard at first but once the dogs relaxed with all the changes, it has been a lot easier. My expectations of the consultation were fulfilled and I loved the fact that there were no harsh behaviours to implement - it is all done in a very calm and relaxed manner. Madelene Telopea, New South Wales ~ ~ ~ Complete Canine Communication Jenny has changed our lives! I have been a cat person all my life until we were blessed with Stanley November 7 2009. I instinctively knew there was something else out there besides obedience training and while researching found Dog Listening. Jenny "talks the talk and walks the walk". She leaves no room for interpretation and has educated me in a way dog training could never do. Dog Listening is empowering. I have an enormous level of respect for my dog in part because I understand his world and his language. I still make mistakes on occasion and phone Jenny whenever I do. Fortunately for me Jenny never sleeps (or so it seems) so she is always available to enlighten me. The world needs more Jenny Golsbys!!! Michelle Clayfield, Queensland ~ ~ ~ Complete Canine Communication When my dogs had a fairly serious fight, I came to question what control, or little control, I had over my little pack of dogs who I loved dearly. I was referred to a few people but found that nobody could really explain to me anything about the dogs behaviour and how I could overcome the challenges I had. The dogs didn't need to be trained, they were trained.mThey could sit and stay and shake and the like, but there was more going on, I could sense that. Fortunately, I was referred, via word of mouth to Dog Listening and Jenny Golsby. I thought, while I'm going to invest in this process, I wanted to work through everything as I saw as a challenge with my dogs. From the moment I spoke to Jenny on the phone, I felt that she was truly knowledgeable and also really enjoyed what she did, because she really enjoyed talking about it and explaining things to me. After that first contact I had no doubt she would be able to help me and booked a consultation. The day was pretty intense and Jenny stayed with me til almost nightfall, watching the dogs in their everyday environment and watching me with them. She talked me through all of my challenges and the things that were happening in our pack, and at the end of the day, I was truly overwhelmed and thought, can I do this? I was assured by her guarantee of being there whenever I needed her. Straight away I started to question things, and even the night of the visit I emailed Jenny with some questions. For the first few days I was so worried that I would never get it, but as I started to focus on one thing at a time and apply what I had learnt, I realised that what Jenny had done was really drummed into me, the core principles of Dog Listening and that I really did know everything that I needed to I just had to stop and think and apply what she had taught me. And sometimes it doesn't come to me straight away, but it always does now. I have the information up in my kitchen which helps. It took me less than a week to feel confident with what I know I have to do. We still have a lot to do and learn, me and my dogs, but we have the foundations and that is wonderful. I find now that all I have to do is move towards a movement that the dogs predict and they quickly correct their behaviour. The great things about Dog Listening is that it makes so much sense. There is also no force, aggression, shouting ot gadgets. This is great, and what's greater is seeing results without all these things. Wonderful! I have already been telling people about Dog Listening and Jenny and will continue to do so. Like every one I speak to says "that makes sense!". Christina Bonogin, Queensland ~ ~ ~ Simply Canine I had already read Jan's first book, but Belinda gave practical application and helpful tips on putting the info into practice. This helped enormously, as well as clarify some of the points in Jan's books. Anna Homebush, NSW ~ ~ ~ Fun4Paws It has only been 3 days since our consultation however we put the 4 principles in place and already our dogs' behaviour has changed. We can actually get their leads out now without them running around like lunatics. Kerryn Craigieburn, Victoria ~ ~ ~ Fun4Paws After having Luke out we saw changes straight away in our dogs. Dog Listening is a method we will always follow. Laura Wyndham Vale, Victoria ~ ~ ~ Jennie Oliver Dog Listener It has changed the way we relate to the dog. I wish we'd known it all before we got him! Improvements are slow but happening! I like the positive, non violent approach. M Schlink Woodlands, Western Australia ~ ~ ~ Fluent Canine What Jen explained all made perfect sense to us and it is just the subtle changes we need to make to ensure we are sending our boys the right message. Cheryl and Landis Corinda, Queensland ~ ~ ~ Pawsitive K9 Care Yes we have changed the way we will relate to our dogs, it is now our behaviour that we have to keep sharp. It is easy to slip back to spoiling them. So far so good. I have recommended the service to the local ranger who noticed a difference in the dogs. Helen and Neal Wilson, Western Australia ~ ~ ~ K9 Heart to Heart I now realise the behaviours that needed to change were mine, not my dogs. I thought my dogs were out of control but have since discovered it was my leadership that was unclear to my dogs. I now know how to change my behaviour to make my dogs feel secure and my dogs have responded very positively in a relatively short period of time. I am so pleased to have found a method that actually works and does not involve punishment or control, but allows me and my dogs to work together as a team. Cath Katoomba, New South Wales ~ ~ ~ Fluent Canine I cannot believe the change in Scruffy. Even his body language says he is so relaxed now, he is a completely different dog. I wish we had known about you earlier and saved all those years of agro. 9 years of him freaking out and now he doesn't have a care in the world. I am over the moon, I have the most beautiful puppy dog now and it's all thanks to you and your guidance. I tell everyone at the park and they can even see a difference in him. What a blessing you are. Veronica and Jonathan Oxley, Queensland ~ ~ ~ Complete Canine Communication From our first contact with Jenny we were touched by her genuine love of animals and belief that dogs should lead a peaceful, happy and stress free life. Jenny responded to our request for a consultation immediately and was promptly at our home rearranging her schedule within a matter of days. Our case was unique and special with our two puppies being rescued and raised by us, humans, from day two with no opportunity to learn 'dog' from their mother as she died at birth. They were already over two months old before we contacted Jenny. Jenny taught us in a sensitive, but firm, manor that our desire to humanise dogs only confuses them as they don't understand our language or ways. It was up to us as humans to learn their language and provide positive and firm leadership and the 'alpha' of the pack. From Jenny's first visit we have diligently followed and implemented the technique with our puppies, and even our 14 year old Fox Terrier. Our Fox terrier was not a dog but a four legged human! Jenny's visit went well beyond the normal consultancy. Jenny spent a whole Sunday with us giving her time freely until we were confident to take the first steps forward. Jenny did not rush us and made sure we understood everything she taught and explained to us. As we commenced training ourselves and our three dogs in 'dog' ways we encountered many challenges personally and with our rebellious dogs. Jenny was always at the end of the telephone providing excellent and endless advice sharing her knowledge and support. We are not quitters and are genuine dog lovers but we nearly gave up a couple of times, the puppies were a challenge! Without Jenny our two new dogs would not be here in our home and our lives as they are today. Jenny truly practices what she preaches relaying her personal experiences gained from her own dogs, providing countless examples of what to do and the results you can expect. This is practical experience that really works and to which you can easily relate. Whilst Jenny's experience is substantial she is not on her own and can draw support from a network of dog listeners. This means you are always assured of the right advice. So far there has been nothing we have not been able to tackle. The results now speak for themselves. We have two relaxed, well adjusted 15 week old dogs who look for, and expect, leadership, respond and are 'near' perfect models of well behaved puppies. Even our 14 year old is learning and relaxing knowing she no longer needs to lead and look after her human pack. She will now be able to live out the remainder of her life as it should, relaxed and happy. Jenny was sensitive to our needs, unique situation, provided endless support and encouragement and was truly committed to giving us and our dogs the best life we could all possibly have. Canine Communication works, Jenny's training works however we as the humans need to believe and implement no matter how difficult it can be at times. The results are happy, relaxed, obedient and well adjusted dogs and humans. Make no mistake this is a real human and canine journey you will not regret.
