With over 900 dogs trained across the Macedon Ranges, Natalie understands the unique personality and needs that come with this wonderful breed.
English Cocker Spaniels are merry, affectionate dogs bred as gundogs for flushing game. They're known for their perpetually wagging tails and soft, gentle nature — though they have more energy and drive than their sweet faces might suggest.
English Cocker owners are blessed with one of the most joyful breeds around — that tail never stops. But behind the happy exterior is a dog with genuine working drive who needs their brain and body exercised. If your Cocker vanishes nose-first into every bush on walks, bounces off the walls before dinner, or gets a bit growly over their food bowl — these are breed traits, not personality flaws. Cockers love to work with you and respond wonderfully to training.
Whether your English Cocker Spaniel is a new puppy or an older dog with some habits to work on, we've got options to suit.

Natalie is amazing and I already have a much calmer, happier little fur baby. Not only have our 2 sessions with Natalie been so helpful, but also Natalie sends out written info and videos."

"We have been using Natalie for the past few months to help train our Groodle pup Willow. Natalie is fantastic with very practical and easy to implement tips and tricks. Great value for money and really lovely lady. Willow loves it when Natalie walks in the door and we always leave with small steps to work on between sessions to improve her behaviour in increments (including jumping, barking and bailing up the cat). The improvements to Willows behaviour have been significant. Natalie comes to you for one on one training, which achieves much more in short space than puppy training did for us. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her services."
