Hi, I’m Natalie! What makes me qualified to help you…

I’ve been passionate about animals my whole life, I grew up with a wild variety from cats and rats to goats and horses, and my first paid job was at 9 years old as a stable hand but it wasnt until 2019 that my professional dog training career started.

Whilst I sometimes wish I had embarked on my dog training career sooner I am fortunate to be relatively new to the world of dog training, fresh and open to the latest research. So much of what we know about dog's has changed in recent years with game changing developments.

I’m an accredited dog trainer though the National Dog Trainers Federation however I am grateful that early in my career I found industry leaders like Kim Brophey, the award winning canine behaviourist who developed the L.E.G.S.® Applied Ethology Family Dog Mediation® program of which I am a certified professional.

My education and continued study along with over 10 years' practical experience working with dogs, from shelters and kennels in Australia and Spain to caring for and coaching people and they're dog's means I am well placed to give you professional guidance and support tailored to you and your dog.

As a carer to 2 rescue dogs and a busy small business owner I absolutely understand how hectic life gets and how so often outdated dog training fails to fit the needs and lifestyles of everyday dog carers. I’m a big believer in only training what you need, and this varies depending on you and your dog. Whether it's puppy training or addressing challenging behaviours in adolescent and adult dogs, I’m here for you at any stage of your dog training journey.
