Animal Experience

Before becoming a dog trainer, I was dog a handler at two doggy daycares for three years. This has given me a solid understanding of dog behavior and socialization. I was also a neighborhood dog walker. My passion for dogs led me to become a full-time trainer.

Why I Became a Dog Trainer

I have always had an interest in the way dogs think and behave. I believe that it is important to have an understanding between dog and owner to create harmony in the home. I also strongly believe in positive reinforcement training tactics, and strive to teach others how to apply them.

Testimonials


Natalie was a great guide for our puppy social! She offered clear direction, encouragement, reassurance and helpful explanations about puppy behavior. We’re so happy we joined in, Cosmo had a blast and we felt at ease that he could learn to play safely.

- Jessica Urquhart





Natalie has been great to work with! She’s great at communicating progress and lessons. She clearly is enthusiastic and treats Kip very well and with patience.

We would definitely use her again for any follow-up training.

- Alan Wilms





Our Tiny Tots trainer, Natalie, was awesome. As a new puppy mom, I was a little worried my little pup would be scared. He did great and Natalie helped explain how play was going, anything she saw, things of concern. I was very comfortable!
