She has worked professionally with thousands of reactive and aggressive dogs over the last 18 years, rescuing dangerous dogs and sharing her life with them too.

Glowing Testimonial

“The difference…astounding!”

Thank you so much for your help with our whippet Hugo. The difference in him from when we started working together in January up to now is astounding!!

We had worked with another qualified behaviourist in the past and made no progress, then the birth of our daughter made us have to take urgent action to try to address Hugo’s reactivity to dogs and strangers. Your patience and support has been fantastic and I can’t believe how much Hugo has come on under your guidance!

I would absolutely recommend you to others experiencing similar issues, we wouldn’t have made the progress we made with Hugo otherwise. He’s like a different dog! Thank you SO SO much from all of us, but especially from Hugo!

Holistic Reactivity Clinic & Behaviour Programmes

Struggling with a reactive or aggressive dog? When a dog can’t meet their fundamental needs behaviour issues develop, and become increasingly extreme. Our expert team offers holistic, force-free, positive-based solutions tailored to your dog’s needs while supporting you. Avoiding any of the drawbacks of traditional training and behaviour work.

Scentwork Training

Dogs communicate and learn about the world through their primary sense, olfaction, their noses are so amazing we can use scentwork to help with issues like reactivity. Dogs that spend lots of time sniffing are more resilient and cope better in concerning situations, which can make the difference and prevent a bad reaction from ever occurring.

Cannot believe the difference the training has made to our puppy Trevor in just 2 sessions. Previous trainers... continually avoided to tackle the ‘resource guarding’ we were so badly requiring support with! We look forward to continuing further training with Pawsitive Dog Behaviour to help Trevor feel even more happy and settled. We are finally on our way to managing Trevor’s resource guarding with understanding and patience. Thank you so much already.read more

I contacted Natalie following a recommendation from Jon at Canine Assist - this, in itself, is testament to Natalie's... skill and experience, also her absolute passion for dogs. I had a foster dog (now rehomed) who had issues with just about everything outside and was reactive - in my home she was perfect! Natalie was able to assess her and was very supportive with lots of good advice to enable me to help her prior to her being rehomed. Natalie was there for me whenever I was unsure and was able to advise and reassure me. I believe she has also followed up with my girl's new owner, for continuity. I would highly recommend her, she knows her stuff, and is a lovely lady too! Rread more

Having never used the services of a dog behaviour consultant I wasn't sure what to expect. I needn't have worried,... Natalie explained the process in great detail and passion in advance. Our initial consultation lasted around 3 hours where we worked on scent training techniques to help overcome anxiety in our new rescue Border Collie. Yes, there's a lot to take in and I think we have a long journey ahead but Natalie's patience and deep knowledge of the subject has given us hope that we can make some positive behavioural adjustments. Looking forward already to our next follow up session.read more

Natalie has been absolutely amazing with my miniature schnauzer. He was very unfocused, hyper and barky on walks.... Walking him was far from a rewarding experience but Natalie has given me a wide range of different tips and games to use to keep him calm and I can see a massive improvement in his behaviour. Even better my dog cannot wait for sessions with Natalie and absolutely adores training with her. I can't thank Natalie enough for all her help.read more

I cannot thank Natalie enough for all the hard work she has put in with my reactive staffie cross. He has improved so... much that I even left him with a friend for the past week whilst I went away, something I would never have done previously, and he was a star for her on walks too!!! His behaviour towards other dogs has come on so much that he's not barking half as much as he was, his anxieties have reduced that he's taking food as a treat when out and about and he is a much calmer and happier dog. I cannot thank you enough xxread more

Muzzle training, an absolute must for all!

Muzzle training is recommended for all dogs especially those with behaviour issues, this is for a variety of reasons, not least that vets have the right to refuse treatment of an animal they are not able to muzzle. Any animal in pain can become unpredictable and aggressive. Having your dog comfortable with a muzzle as early as possible safeguards them and yourselves, in situations you know your dog is likely to react badly and are out of your control.
