Thanks for your time today.

Our time together was excellent and you have certainly provided us with some very useful tools and tips for our dog's anxiety issues.

The time spent was the right length and the information provided excellent. We certainly started with advice.

Thanks again

Hi Dr Cam

I just wanted to let you know that  our dog is doing really well and we have seen no return of the anxiety from which he used to suffer.

Every morning and afternoon when I let him out while I prepare his food he runs around madly and seems genuinely happy to be alive. His appetite is back to normal.

We had visitors the other day and I let him out and whilst he was apprehensive he went up to them and after an ear rub by them he was a firm friend sitting at their feet. In fact I had trouble getting him back in his yard.

Thanks soooo much for your help. I have my old dog back.

Dear Dr Cam,

Thank you so much for your time and advice yesterday regarding Sabrina.

Thanks also for the speedy dispatch of the pheromone unit. We received it this morning which is slightly unusual for Cairns!

Your active listening to Sabrina’s problems, and your considered advice regarding treatment, is extremely appreciated.


The Feliway unit has now been on for about 3 hours and she is currently sound asleep and very relaxed on the sofa. Fingers crossed!

Kind Regards

Dorothy

Hi Cam,

I am most satisfied you listened to our problems and took them seriously. Also I am glad to hear from you that not everything we thought and did is wrong. I am also grateful for the keys you provided into the dog’s mind.

The solutions you give do make sense. The Audio CD you provided will be a help with that.

I did appreciate you calling me back right away, last Friday, and spending so much time with us today.

Best regards

Dan and Jill

Thanks for your time yesterday.

Your online assessment form is excellent.

Your explanations were simple and it's clear you are very knowledgeable. Thanks again for the opportunity to provide feedback. This is a rare thing, and we applaud you for asking for it.

Dear Dr Cam,

Thank you so much for coming to our home to meet our 2 beautiful doggies. The time seemed to go so quickly (for us anyway) not sure if you felt the same!! It was a delight to meet you, I feel you have so much knowledge & we just need to put this into place which I want to work at so badly.

But as you said it is small stepping stones that are required, we are more than happy to work on the tactics that we discussed one step at a time.

 We shall keep you posted as to our progress, thank you again for your time & we look forward to our next visit.
Kindest Regards

Hey Cam,

Firstly we really appreciated the time, and extra time you spent with us, it was incredibly insightful, informative and a necessary step in our dealing with Maddy's issues.

We thought the process of the phone call and the house visit was awesome and really helpful. We really valued your understanding and perspective on the challenges we are facing with our little furry friend.

As far as aspects of our meeting that could have been improved, we have none.

We thought your analysis was in depth and accurate, you were understanding of our problem, and your sincerity to nut out a solution was encouraging. Basically we really valued the fact that you provide the service you do, you've offered a different perspective to any that we have encountered thus far and provided us with options. That's been the most amazing thing for us, the fact that we have spent a lot of money and tried a lot of different strategies without success and now we have more options.

Your services were ideal for where we were at with this situation, which was basically pulling our hair out and clueless as to what to do next. You have certainly provided more options and the positive aspect of some hope for our little Maddy and that's where a'lot of our gratitude lies.

The audio CD's you made for us have been a crucial reference point over the last week as we have been carrying out the initial strategies we discussed.
 

Again, we have lost respect for our 'normal' vets not only based on our previous experiences with Barkley but also with their lack of commitment to establishing solid plans of attack or strategies to at least try and combat these issues. This is where we really respect what you do and how you do it.

Thanks again Cam we really are impressed with your service and appreciate the hope you have given us
Cheers mate

Hi Cam,

Yes the chat yesterday was very helpful.

In terms of "how you did", you were very thorough; very logical; and also realistic in terms of how serious the problem is and how carefully we have to consider the consequences of where we go from here. I have had a look at the links you sent and it is certainly helpful to reinforce the things we discussed, especially the podcast on resource guarding.

Cheers

Dear Dr. Cam,

Thank you for today's session. It is working a treat.
I must say your ability access the problem and then pass on information and instructions over the phone is quite incredible, I had no trouble following your instructions.

Dear Cam,

Thank you so much for assessing our much-loved dog last week and for supplying the report so quickly.

It was a pleasure to meet you and both Andre' and I appreciated the care and concern you demonstrated. As you can tell we love our dogs, and this has been one of the most distressing times of our lives.

I cannot praise you enough for the kindness and professionalism we have received right from my first phone contact with Wendy, meeting you and the follow up. I am happy to recommend your services to all I come in contact with and believe me there has already been plenty of discussion with family and friends.

So, once again thank you and I will keep in touch with the developments.

Regards

Lana and Aaron

Hello Dr Day

We were thrilled with your service and have shouted it from the rooftops to friends and colleagues already.  We particularly appreciated the following aspects of your service:

1. You seeing us at such short notice
2. The very practical, simple and cost-effective suggestions you had for us (including the demonstrations)
3. You asking us whether we had any questions, and answering all the questions we had
4. Your great sense of humour and genuine understanding of Max's nature and the limits of human endurance!

It is refreshing to see that you are brave and interested enough to seek feedback from clients - it's something I am a great believer in too.

Aaron and I have already and will continue to happily recommend you. 

We should say that we also found Wendy to be very helpful on the phone and at the counter.

Kind regards

Hello Dr Cam

Your service was great! I really found it helpful, stress free and friendly.

The instructions you gave where clear and worked so well. It was 100% awesome to me. Good job and well done!

Thank you so much for your help. I will keep up with the training and I think I will have a perfect dog.

Hullo Dr Cam,

Thank you again for taking the time and offering very good advice for our beautiful Jess.

I believe the most valuable advice you gave us was to feed the girls away from each other. Jess doesn't have to concentrate on protecting her food..

We felt the advice you gave us was much needed and hopefully with a little time and patience, we will win this battle. We love all of our girls dearly.

Cam again, thank you so much and I will keep you posted on our progress.

Kind regards
