Real results
Every dog has a story. Here are a few of my favourites.
"We have been using Crazy Kind Calm training for just under two months now and the difference in our 6yo Airedale Teddy has been absolutely amazing. We were having all sorts of problems with Teddy being overly excitable with people and aggressive towards other dogs when out for a walk. Natalie has taught us a whole range of techniques to help manage Teddy's behaviours and reduce her stress levels. Teddy is so much calmer and happier these days and we are continuing to work on her excitement levels. We highly recommend Crazy Kind Calm!"

"Massive thank you to Natalie for her professional and unique service on training and obedience techniques to assist Sadie and myself a couple of weeks ago. Natalie has given me confidence to pursue her kind and calm approach and providing specific techniques to work in with our busy lifestyle and still getting a positive result. Thanks again Natalie. Kind regards, Karina, Tom, Leyla and Sadie."

"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."

Meet your trainer
I've been where you are – overwhelmed, frustrated, wondering if things will ever get better. I understand how you're feeling, and I can help you get through it. I know how it feels when your dog pulls so hard your hands are sore, or when they bark at every single thing that moves.
That's why I became a dog trainer. I use kind, positive methods that actually work – games that build your relationship while teaching your dog the skills they need.
