Rudy and I just finished our training sessions with Natalie. She is an amazing person, and trainer, and Rudy loves her. The training is very professional and fun at the same time for both the pet and owner. The positive hands-on approach, plus the written handouts makes it so easy to do your homework with your pet, because the joy of success is so worth it. Rudy is 15 month old, English Labrador, full of energy, food motivated, and a big boy. My concern being 77 years old, was to be able to handle him when guests come to our home, or I am out walking as he is extremely strong and friendly. Natalie’s approach to leash manners, and manners greeting others, has been a game changer for Rudy and me. Practicing is fun, and to see his joyful face when success happens puts a smile on my face too. He keeps all fours on the ground now when greeting people, wiggles a lot, but not the fear of knocking someone over. Leash manners has made our walks way more enjoyable. We no longer must go out of our way to avoid people, with or without pets. Several people I see every day, and they have seen the progress with both of us. If you want a happy dog, one you are so proud of, then Natalie is the gal. I can’t say enough wonderful things about how she helped Rudy and I have such a strong happy bond…willing to try anything. If you do the work and be committed to her training, the outcome is wonderful.
