Dottie came to the Parker family as a rescue dog and had some challenges with reactivity. From the beginning, Natalie was phenomenal in working with both Dottie and our family.
She helped us understand Dottie’s behavior, worked with her in situations that would normally trigger a reaction, and taught us effective training techniques and commands. Over time, we saw a significant improvement in Dottie’s obedience, confidence, and ability to handle different situations.
What stood out most was Natalie’s continued support. Whenever we hit a roadblock or struggled with something, she was there to offer guidance, encouragement, and practical ways to reinforce Dottie’s training.
Natalie is knowledgeable, patient, easy to work with, and truly cares about the dogs and families she works with. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled and dedicated trainer for their furry family member.

THE PARKER FAMILY & RESCUE DOG "DOTTIE"
We were introduced to Natalie through a training program for our dog Bowie. After having some trouble with his behavior and having a new child we knew it was time to get him some serious training, and it was immediately apparent Natalie knew exactly how to handle all of our dog’s situations. She guided us through her training every step of the way and made sure we were hands on in intervals so we didn’t miss anything he was learning. His behavior and obedience has been top notch since committing to that training. Natalie is the only dog boarder that Bowie trusts. It’s great to see him play and interact with other dogs when that has been such a problem in the past. From the videos we receive of his time there, it is obvious that Bowie is having a great time. It is a bit of a drive for us to drop him off, but it is well worth the trip for our dog’s happiness.

WITH THEIR DOG "BOWIE"
Natalie not only helped our American Bully, Phoenix, get the training she needed, but she also trained and educated us as owners.
Phoenix was extremely hyper and difficult to control when other dogs and people were around. Taking her out in public on a leash was a real challenge. Natalie was patient, knowledgeable, and dedicated. She showed us how to navigate these difficult situations and, most importantly, explained the how and why behind everything we were doing.
She made what once felt overwhelming seem manageable and gave us the confidence and tools to continue working with Phoenix.
I truly appreciate all of Natalie’s hard work, patience, and dedication to Phoenix and to our family. The difference she has made has been amazing, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trainer who genuinely cares about both the dog and the owner!
