"We adopted a rescue dog and whilst she is very cute we knew from the onset that she would need work which is why we went to Natalie. Through the session we were able to work on some strategies to help improve behaviour and remove the anxiety out of interacting with other people/animals whilst out and about. It's been approximately a month now since our session and we can see a noticeable difference in behaviour and we continue to see improvements on a daily basis. My biggest learning was to be realistic about the experience. Things will get better in very slow, little increments. Be diligent and temper your expectations. I keep reminding myself of this and it has really changed the relationship I have with our dog. I'm excited to see her develop even further into the dog I know she can be - all thanks to Natalie."

"Natalie has been fantastic with our 2 over exuberant anxious dogs and us their humans, we have just had a third training session and it turns out you can teach an old dog new tricks, our dogs 2.5 and 5.5 yrs old are calmer, easier to walk and not barking crazy at everyone that wanders past our fence, it still is a work in progress but Natalie has been an amazing resource and her manner and dealings with us and doggies is wise and professional"

"This is the second dog we have trained through Nat. Her calmness and her attention to detail is what we love. She is extremely patient with us which can be a huge help when we feel like we are failing. Our dogs are happier and there was no punishing or upsetting with any of our dogs so they still love us and there is no fear just respect and love. We appreciate Nat and her commitment beyond words and we have and will continue to recommend her to any and all who listen."
