Absolutely fantastic working with Natalie at PDBC to teach our reactive dog some new tricks. We were amazed at how much progress we made during the time with Natalie. Tilly has made massive leaps in progress and so have we! We even managed to approach to meet PDBC stooge Tilly. Unheard of just three months ago. The little nuggets of advice from lead walking, feeding, harnesses to supplements have been instrumental to the changes we’ve seen. We couldn’t have done it without Natalie’s care, understanding and patience. Thank you again. Here is one tired Till Dog after a morning of scent work and targets. 

Natalie visited me at home after responding to my request advice on how to improve my dog walking service. I was keen to improve my training techniques, understand dog interactions and understand how to reduce stress for dogs that could be described as reactive. Natalie was fantastic- we had an initial chat followed by a practical session with the lovely Tilly and my dog. She provided endless advice, practical tips and training techniques delivered in a clear, understandable and fun way. Natalie’s experience and insight shine through. Her techniques are fun and easy to follow and her approach is kind, positive and force free. Her expertise in dealing with major issues such as aggressiveness and phobias was clear and very refreshing. I would thoroughly recommend Natalie to anyone looking for a behaviour therapist or trainer for their dog- whether they need help with major issues or general training needs, (or are a dog walker like me looking for help to better understand their customer’s dogs and their experience)

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

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.

I  highly recommend PDB to anyone wanting to reduce the stress of walking a reactive dog. My Jack Russell, Wally, is 7 years old and walking him is a bit of a nightmare - Natalie at PDB is really helping us work together and Wally is so much more relaxed when on a walk, after only 3 sessions. After the first one I was feeling a bit overwhelmed with information, but Natalie sent me some notes on what we had covered, and then at the next session we improved the techniques.

It is a completely positive experience, and Wally really enjoys it too. We still have a way to go, but it give me hope that he will soon have learnt how to be out and about, and a normal dog enjoying his walks, rather than always looking for the next dog to get worked up about.

I think the service and knowledge is very good value for money, the sessions are tailored to your needs, and it's also great to see that Natalie genuinely loves dogs. She is super friendly and I don't feel silly if I make mistakes!

Natalie has been successful in teaching me how to understand my border collie’s moods and needs. This has enabled me to control her and made for a happy dog and owner.

Our dog is a rather anxious boy, who had become increasingly reactive to other dogs over time. Natalie has given us some great advice to help combat this. Although it will take a while, we are already seeing some signs of progress. Natalie explained everything really clearly and it was obvious that she had great knowledge and experience. Thank you for your help, we look forward to our follow up session in due course!

Had a fantastic session working on reducing anxiety while on a lead and some scent work along with it. Learnt so much in a short space of time with techniques I will continue to do with my pups - thank you so much for all your help! 👍👍👍

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.

Natalie was super helpful in explaining what our doggy needed and why he was behaving in certain ways! Simple dog behaviours that we thought were normal were pointed out to us as nervous behaviours and it was really helpful.

Natalie has been working with us for the past month dealing with our dogs separation anxiety. She is clearly very knowledgeable, experienced and dedicated to helping with our problem. She is always there when I’m struggling with words of reassurance and support. Would highly recommend

Natalie is the most ardent canine lover I know. She takes her job as an animal behaviourist seriously while having fun! One of a kind, I love this girl!
