Nat has been so helpful showing me the ‘how to’ and teaching our doggy to walk by my side. Her expertise is next level and she has equipped me with so much working with an anxious and excitable dog when out on walks. We have come such a long way in the last two months - very grateful for your tips and tricks and expertise! More...

Nat came to our house the other day and we were very impressed with how she immediately took charge of our two Cavoodles and helped us with an issue that we were having. We learned a lot in the time and her suggestions are working already! My wife and I highly recommend Nat for any of your dog training needs. ☺☺ More...

Nat is an ABSOLUTE angel! Only 2 sessions down with her for our boy Koda who has reactivity + confidence issues, and can already see a major difference! Her love and passion for other dogs is second to none, and I truly can not thank her enough! Excited to see more progress down the track with Nat 😍 More...

Nat was really friendly & made it easy for us to understand the information which is really important as we need to be able to replicate things ourselves. we had a really good session with her & got to see our boy have a great time, he was so satisfied the rest of the evening! can't wait for our next session with her to update on everything we've learnt & been practising on More...

Nat was just brilliant and we can’t wait to continue working with her for our puppy, Pippa. She was understanding, informative, kind but straight forward with her advice - we appreciated her positive and simple approach to dog training. Nat was so generous with her time and most importantly she was amazing with Pippa who just loved her - a true dog whisperer. Thank you Nat!! More...

So far only had the one session with Nat but am completely blown away by how much myself and more importantly Andy ( my Cairn puppy) have learnt . He absolutely loved the training Nat gave him . Have been following it up at home with him and feel so proud at how well he is doing . Can’t wait for his next session. Thanks Nat More...

Nat’s understanding of (and love for) dogs is second to none! She speaks their language fluently and translates it for those of us who wish we could get to understand our furry companions better. She has visited us for several consults and each time I’ve been so impressed by the changes she has helped us make with our dogs. I would (and do!) recommend Nat in a heartbeat to everyone looking to improve their relationship with their dog, or to sort out some tricky doggy behaviour. Thanks for all your help so far Nat!

Meeting Nat and getting her amazing support with our tiny Maltese pup was the absolute best thing that could happen to us and our tiny angel.
Nat does for work what she loves the most in her life- helping dogs having better lives - and doggies know it. Her connection with dogs is magical, our little Charlie connected with her within a second and after just one session with Nat he started transforming from an anxious and scared puppy into a curious and happy one.
I highly recommend Nat for her work and love for dogs and am forever grateful for all she has done for my little angel.

Nat has helped us to become better owners of our little pug Daisy. She helped us to understand Daisy’s behaviour and how we can better manage her and be in control. This has been amazing for us as now we have better boundaries and a as a result of this, a happier pug. More...

Had two private sessions with Nat and I honestly couldn’t recommend enough! I was surprised how quick and easy she made it look, our dog Rudy also goes to puppy school with Nat and he loves it! If yous are looking for a dog trainer stop looking and give Nat a call! All about positive reinforcement! 🤩😀 More...

We love natty! Our fur baby Rumi who is a unique little pup warmed to Nat straight away. We learnt so much about dogs and how they respond to the world around them. The most important lesson: it’s never the dogs fault, it’s the humans that need the training. Patience, love, repetition, re-directional techniques and trusting in the process! Be okay with failing a few times. Dogs learn intrinsic behaviours, don’t get caught up trying to make them understand. We put in lots of love and now thanks to Nats direction we are confident. We had 3 sessions and they were absolutely worth it. Thanks Natty.x More...

What do you love most about your job?
Being able to assist people in understanding their dogs and why they behave in certain ways, allows me to help people to develop one of the most beautiful friendships they will ever experience. I am so grateful to be able to do what I love and am most passionate about in life every single day.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Animals and the environment have always been my greatest passion in life. I have spent a lot of time over seas working on conservational projects that protect the Orangutan and Mountain Gorilla and their habitats and I continue to do so whenever possible. I have always had a unique connection with dogs and understood how they work. It was when I was in Kisoro Uganda being followed by several dogs in a place where people have no respect for dogs and absolutely no understanding of their beautiful ability to be truly selfless, loyal and the best friend a person can have, that I realised what I wanted to do in life. I was in a place surrounded by poverty where children have nothing and are scared of dogs. I made a decision to try an educate people about these beautiful animals and the friendship and love they offer. I began teaching people in Africa the most basic concepts of k9 and human friendship, watching people go from fearing dogs to respecting and loving them and developing a friendship is one of the most rewarding experiences of my life! So I decided that is what I wanted to do with my life!
Why should our clients choose you?
EXPERIENCE !!!!!!!!!!!
I have thousands and thousands of hours of experience working with and being amongst dogs and puppies in every situation and environment possible. This is what I do and have done this full time 7 days a week for over 15 years.
I have several qualifications including, Diploma in Canine Aggression Cert IV in Canine Psychology and Behaviour, Cert in Animal Behaviour and currently studying an advance diploma in Canine Behavioural Management. I will continue to study to keep up to date with the latest science based techniques in Canine Behavioural Management.
If you're looking for an ACTUAL PROFESSIONAL to assist you with rescue dogs or any form of behavioural reactivity, I would advise you make sure they have a minimum of ten years full time experience and a minimum of 5 years full time experience for basic behaviour and puppy training. Ask what methods they use and simply hang up if they use any form of dominance or force based training. If you have a trainer that treats your dog with anything other than love understanding and respect ask them to leave immediately and review them and your experience. I hate the word industry but this industry is unregulated and any one with little or NO experience or qualifications can start a web site and claim to be a trainer or behavioural consultant. I am appalled at some of the stories my clients have told me of previous experience with someone claiming to be a trainer or behaviourist that has come to their home and frightened or even hurt their dog. DO NOT STAND FOR IT!!!!
I will love your angel as if they're my own and do everything that I am capable of to help you to modify and manage any behaviour that you do not understand or need assistance with. Dogs are simply my purpose in life and I am a guardian to every single one of them and you will know this of me as soon as we meet.
