Success Stories
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.
Looking forward to this weekend’s training.

I want to give some feedback about Petunia (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 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!

Chris was my pups trainer and was I shocked to know that so many things matter, for too long, people grow up with thinking dogs are there to protect you and to just be. And man, did I learn so many things.
Firstly, treats matter. What they work for and consume on training matters. I had silly old Maltons treats which was just not doing the trick anymore, my pup got tired of listening to me, trying to put dog type ‘junk food’ down his throat. He kept listening to the trainer which in return made me a little upset. Not at the trainer but at myself… why work for R10 reward when you can work for R100 reward… makes sense. Good, wholesome treats like biltong nibbles makes a huge difference. The way we talk to our animals matters. The way we enforce obedience in a proper way, matters.
I just wanted to thank Chris for his loyalty and for teaching us the proper way. Although it was only my first training session, I learnt so much. Wow. The first day of training, trained me as a person, let alone my pup.
I look forward to the next few weeks getting to really know and train my pup on a deeper level.
I’m glad I signed up to be trained, dogs imitate owners and if we don’t handle them correctly, how will they know. Thank you too to the SADTC for facilitating a good organisation to help us know and understand more.

V – Midrand
I am doing very well thanks, and you?
So, we were with (name withheld,) at their Honeydew branch.
The founder, is very knowledgeable, and don’t ask me why we didn’t just come back to SADTC when we moved back to Gauteng, because I have no idea – “lekker dof” if you ask me.
So, has taken a step back from the school and handed the reins over to one of her more experienced instructors. And I don’t think that, the new owner/person in charge, has the experience with big dogs that is needed.
She specializes in agility and doggy yoga – which is fine, but not what we need.
When Frieda used to act up in class, she would be moved behind a screen, so she couldn’t see the other dogs. This didn’t really help, and Kay was given the side-eye any time that she would try and correct Frieda. To such an extent that Kay felt like she was doing something wrong when correcting Frieda, when we came to you.
Ever since Markus, our Malinois died in November last year, poor little Frieda seemed a bit lost. Since we got little Willem, she is much more interactive and the way that Debbie handles the class (thanks to you), has really shown what Frieda is capable of.
You have given us back our little girl, and for that, we are forever grateful!
Training type: Dog Training (Instructor – Debbie – Kliprivier)
V – Midrand
We wanted to let you know about our GSD female, Frieda’s story (so far), She is 1 year and 10 months old.
In 2023, we lost our whole pack, save for Frieda. It struck all of us very hard as we are a very tightly knit family.
At that time, we were at another dog training school, but once Frieda started acting out, there was no real help or advice – not everyone knows and understands the mind of a dog.
Earlier this year, we decided to make the shift (back) to SADTC. After being placed in Debbie’s class (been 3 weeks now), the progress and change in Frieda is substantial. Debbie truly takes the time to understand her students and gives advice and guidance based on her well of knowledge.
So just thank you, SADTC and Debbie, for changing the narrative for us from problem dog to a dog willing to work . We will remain forever grateful!

Our first lesson on Sunday at Honeydew was great.
I was extremely anxious beforehand because our boy is very boisterous but the team were so patient and accommodating and didn’t make us feel embarrassed at all. They walked us through every step and explained everything so well.

Ashveer and Luna | Odin
Yesterday was the second lesson in Beata’s class. The class is faster paced compared to being in Leam’s class. In both lessons Odin did well. The faults were on my side. I am holding the leash tight and pulling him with, instead of allowing him to follow the command. I need to create more excitement and talk to him more.
Odin was aware in the first lesson but did not react. In the second lesson he was relaxed. Aware but not bothered about the dogs or the humans.
It’s been a challenge with Luna. She shuts down in class and does not want to perform the commands. It’s like she is not interested. (We will be working with Luna so she can improve soonest.)
Training type: Dog Training (Instructor – Biata – Kliprivier)
Ashveer and Odin
Odin is doing much better in class. His confidence has grown. I understand him a little better. Dinisha and him have also developed as a team. This could stem from our walks and training at home. Leam has been guiding us well and Robyn’s capabilities under Leam’s guidance is growing.
I know Odin is capable of a lot more and I am keen to know what that is. Also looking forward to showing you what we have learnt so far.
Please be well. Pass my regards on to Chris and travel back safe.

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 patience, “Old” Chris is still a legend and his knowledge is second to none, he still have 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. Have a great day!

Thank you for enquiring I believe Bailey did enjoy her first session although very distracted by the new environment and all the various activities going on.

Dearest Romayne,
What a lovely session Roxy and I had again today (including that very gracious fall on the patch of grass ???? hillariously funny).
When I look back to when we started there, I can just say, ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC and AMAZING work from the team. Even as handler, I’ve grown sooooo much.
I always thought I knew dogs, but after this course I realised where I went wrong and was able to rectify it (and am still learning).
So whilst we’re on this topic and nearing the end of the course I would like to request more details on the next course. I really want Roxy to have maximum benefit from the obedience courses, but also to be a happy “child”. ???? (she’s like a child to us all)
Please thank the team again for their absolute dedication and love for dogs. I salute them and Roxy “bark” them!
Hope to hear from you soon on those courses.

Good morning Romayne,
Hope you’re well on this chilly morning. Just to let you know that the seat cover fits perfectly. I’m super excited about it and so is Roxy. I had to improvise a bit with the dog safety belt, as I did not want to make a hole in the cover. All those extra long double leashes came in very handy.
Training is going well so far and the team at Honeydew is really great. Love their training style and their willingness to assist when I get stuck on something. I have in the process also become more confident as handler and have to thank the team for this ????????
Training at home is also going very well. Pushing hard, and managing. So proud to say that we’re training with SADTC.
Have a great day and stay warm.

Hi Romayne,
I was happy with the lesson and Leam was great with Cody.

Hi Romayne,
Thanks for the email. Wow, class was just super awesome.
Theory was excellent and our first lesson with Biata was so informative, she certainly is an excellent trainer. (Will get to know the other trainers better over time, though Brett was also very friendly and helpful.) I like the approach and am confident that Roxy and I will manage. She is now confidently walking with the half-check collar and the harnass is only used when in transit. What a HUGE difference. (Thanks for the advice)
Can’t wait till next Sunday. So totally worth it.

Hi there,
Oh my gosh we loved it! The trainer is so amazing. I can see our puppy learning plenty in the coming months.
Thank you so much for checking up.

Hi Romayne,
I am writing to express my utmost satisfaction and gratitude for the wonderful first lesson Loki and I attended. The training session itself was exceptionally well-structured and comprehensive. I am confident that my puppy and I are in capable hands, and I eagerly anticipate the upcoming lessons.
Thank you for making a positive difference in the lives of dogs and their owners.

Debbie was so friendly, well-spoken and her demonstrations were on point. She corrected us when we were doing it wrong and gave advice and both our dogs managed to get the sit, down and stand right through the guidance. She didn’t make anyone feel bad when our doggies decided not to follow through and gave everyone support they needed. Our lil Yorkie Bear is not friendly at all and barks a lot at the other dogs, We arrived an hour early to try and get him used to the area and maybe calm down but he continued barking and lunging and Debbie was very patient. I really do think the way Debbie engaged with the handlers was a bonus she did not screaming and shout but corrected us respectfully as we were all new and very overwhelmed. I truly do see the value of these classes. Will miss having Debbie in our session next week.

We had so much fun with Luna & Coco and Debbie was great and yes, we have most certainly enjoyed our first lesson. Looking forward to next week.
