"Nat is super generous with her knowledge and her enthusiasm is infectious. She genuinely cares about every dog (and their owners) she teaches. Her training style encourages a trusting bons between dog and human. Highly recommend her puppy school as well as the one to ones."
— Greer Allen
"Natalie has helped us with our rescue puppy Daisy, who was extremely anxious and scared of people and dogs, and acting out in other ways. We called Natalie when we were at the end of our tethers, after two months with Daisy, and after the first session we felt both empowered and reassured. Natalie's extensive notes after our session were also very helpful, to refer to as we were working through the recommendations. During her second visit, a month later, Natalie addressed specific issues that we are still having, and she also noted significant improvements in Daisy's confidence. It is wonderful to be supported by someone with such extensive knowledge and love for dogs. I highly recommend her services."
