Natalie & Jenn are magic and we have learned SO much from them.
Investing in their 'Lifetime' training package has been easily worth 3x as much as we paid for it.
Here is the deal. We learned the hard way that a lot of trainers call themselves 'positive', but are anything but.
After a different 'positive' trainer choked, pinched, and then shoved our 9lb puppy onto concrete because he was playing tug of war with his leash, we understood that there is a big difference between a truly force free dog trainer and one who uses 'positive' as a marketing buzzword.
Following that experience I called Natalie to come meet our puppy, and we knew within 10 minutes that we wanted to work with her. Group lessons are great, but if you want the full experience, private lessons are the way to go.
They came to our home and spent an hour each time helping us with calmness, loose leash walking, staying on a mat, table manners, door dashing, dog and human greetings, recall/come, and a positive relationship with our dog. This is on top of the basics of sit-stay-down-stand, which they also teach. They have endless knowledge and the ability to thoughtfully address biting, over arousal, pulling, guarding, reactivity, aggression, fear, barking, boredom, stealing, anxiety, etc. which they weave beautifully into training sessions that are tailored for each individual dog.
They want your dog to be a dog, and they want your dog to really, truly enjoy life!
Training sessions are fun, and there is no force or pain or fear involved. Our dog LOVES them both, and they are so awesome to hang out with. Natalie and Jenn are laid back, humorous, helpful, and full of experience and knowledge!
What Natalie and Jenn have taught us has easily applied to other aspects of training; simply put, they teach you. . .not just your dog. I cannot say enough awesome things about them. read more
