With over 900 dogs trained across the Macedon Ranges, Natalie understands the unique personality and needs that come with this wonderful breed.
Stafford crosses blend the Staffordshire's people-loving nature with traits from another breed. The Stafford's affection and strength typically come through strongly — producing dogs that are devoted, muscular, and full of character.
Stafford cross owners usually have a dog who adores people with their whole body. If your Stafford cross pulls towards every person for pats, lunges at other dogs on walks, or greets guests like a small, muscular torpedo, that's the Stafford temperament in action. Their genuine love of people is your biggest training advantage.
Whether your Stafford X is a new puppy or an older dog with some habits to work on, we've got options to suit.

She has helped immensely with our pup who has a bit of anxiety around socialisation so that now we can walk calmly and it's great to have her at the end of emails to answer anything that comes up. Highly recommend Nat's approach, it's made a world of difference!"

"Cannot recommend enough! Natalie has helped us work with not one, but 2 family dogs. Our first was a rescue with sever behavioral problems and now we are currently working on our very big and cheeky deerhound puppy. Her expertise in all areas of dog behavior is amazing and her techniques are positive, make sense and she always takes the time to explain why and how a particular technique will help. We are so happy to have Natalie teaching us what a true dog/human partnership is."

"Ollie and I had a great time in our four sessions, learning heaps to work on to create the 'perfect' dog. Ollie responded really well to Natalie's approach and I learnt heaps about how to go about his training. Highly recommended!!"
