Natalia surpassed any expectation we had! We have an 80lb golden doodle named Doodle. We were referred to use Natalia through a friend that had great success. Doodle is 3 years old. He would drag you down the street when walked. He jumped on people when they came in the door. He barked nonstop. He had developed a lot of bad traits. We decided to have doodle trained because we have a newborn that could have been hurt by his lack of listening. Natalia had doodle for three weeks and the change is incredible. We’re able to walk doodle with barely holding the leash. He listens when he is told to sit, down, or place. We will be forever great full!

My dog Jack and I went for an initial evaluation that included some helpful training tips. Jack takes advantage of opportunities to charge through an open door, and Natalia gave me good advice on how to gently and safely keep him at home. Although he's a retriever mix, Jack was bewildered when I tried to get him to retrieve. I brought along a favorite chew toy, and in minutes Natalia showed him how much fun it was to retrieve! Her enthusiasm and the connection she had immediately with Jack was awesome! She is a skilled trainer, and while getting my dog to obey, she made it fun for him. It was enjoyable for me, too, just watching the two of them playing together. Although Jack is supposed to be a senior (over 8 years old), he's energetic and puppy-like when he plays. The very next day I took him out in the backyard, threw that same toy, said "Fetch!" and he did it. When he responded to "Bring" as well as "Fetch," I was amazed. I'd tried many times to engage him in a game of fetch. With Natalia's urging, he caught on almost immediately. I highly recommend Natalia. Her rapport with dogs is evident, as is her love for them. (She is very good at training people, too!)
