Natalie is somewhat of a miracle worker. Our rescue dog was extremely reactive to animals, kids and adults. Lots of aggressive barking and lunging. Our other dog picked up on this and started barking and lunging as well!
After one training session with Natalie, we started seeing a transformation. After continued training, we’re proud to say we have some incredibly well behaved dogs. The dogs’ recall off-leash and general behavior is incredible.
We’re so lucky to have met Natalie and have been privileged to work with her!

✓ Take your dog anywhere, knowing s/he will remain calm and well-behaved
✓ Have friends, family and other dogs over to your house, without issue
✓ Understand your pet and communicate with him/her confidently
✓ Leave your dog at home alone, confident in the knowledge that your house - and belongings - will remain intact
✓ Enjoy a harmonious and loving bond with your dog
✓ Relax and feel at ease around your dog
Let’s be honest.
When you got you doggo you were probably expecting a new best friend. Maybe you pictured the two of you going for hikes together, hanging out on the sofa on weeknights, and going for the occasional pup cup on weekends.
Or, maybe you adopted a guy or gal from a shelter (you’re awesome!). Sure, your new fren had a few ‘issues’ but you’ve owned dogs before - you felt confident you’d sort it out.
Regardless of the circumstances, what you probably didn’t imagine is the dystopian nightmare you’re now living in.
You feel like you can’t go anywhere or do anything. You’re stressed, your dog is miserable. And it’s no fun living with the demon hell child s/he sometimes becomes.
SOMETHING’S GOTTA GIVE!

Natalie at Rock Dog is absolutely amazing. Our Golden Retriever struggled with fear of the road, chasing our cat, and loose leash walking.
Working with Natalie made all the difference. She was flexible with scheduling and our dog Cady absolutely loves her. Natalie is consistently able to equip us with the tools we need to solve the problem, as well as demonstrate clearly and help us practice. With her help, Cady is no longer petrified of the street, cuddles instead of chases the cat, and walks are a fun time for everyone.
I've recommended Natalie to neighbors and friends, so it's super easy to give her a 5-star recommendation!
— Dave K. and ‘Cady’
IF YOUR DOG IS:
→ Pulling on his/her leash
→ Barking excessively
→ Destroying your home and belongings
→ Behaving aggressively towards humans and other dogs
→ Making it impossible for you to have people over to your house
→ Causing you to worry about your safety, or the safety of others
→ Leaving you feeling stressed out and anxious
Then you need Natalie!

“I can't recommend Natalie enough, she is one-of-a-kind as both a trainer and a human being - exceptionally skilled, understanding, and reliable, and her genuine love for dogs is unparalleled.
After having several bad experiences with other trainers that resulted in trauma and anxiety, she helped to restore not only my dog's confidence but also my own as a guardian.”
— Sarah Ballantyne and ‘Hazel’
★★★★★
“Meco was a crazy herding dog, but after Natalie’s training he’s the most well-behaved companion!
Natalie taught me how to make sure he obeys commands, behaves on leash and in public, and never ventures too far off-leash. People always comment on how well-behaved my dog is, and I always say it’s because of Rock Dog! If Natalie can train Meco, she’ll definitely be able to help you with your dog!”
— Harrison L. & ‘Meco’

“From the second Natalie met my dog, the tone shifted. Natalie got my dog to be less fearful, more confident at walking, and better behaved in less than five minutes.
It was seriously the kind of magic you see on TV shows - except it was reality!
And she broke down exactly what she was doing so that I could understand it and repeat it.”
— Lindsey Smith and ‘Kobe’

After being discouraged and going from trainer to trainer, I got lucky and found Natalie. She spent over an hour with me over the phone trying to convince me not to take my Doberman back to the shelter, for he had bitten everyone in our family. My wife was in tears, and I was losing hope.
Nowadays, it’s hard to find anyone that takes the time that Natalie has with our family. She has zero ego which is hard to find in the dog training world. Working with dogs is what she is supposed to be doing; it shows naturally, and she is incredible at working with all different types of people. We couldn’t recommend her more!
— Mike, Sasha and ‘Trooper’
EVEN IF:
➞ You’ve tried other trainers
➞ You’ve taken your dog to a vet specialist
➞ You’ve given your dog medication
Don’t give up hope!
Traditional methods can sometimes miss the mark by applying generalized techniques that don’t take your dog's individuality, temperament, and personal history into account.

I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions; instead, I tailor training to match your dog's unique rhythm, creating a harmonious path towards behavioral improvement.

Item description
★★★★★
“Natalie was great with our 4-year-old chihuahua, Bella. As a ‘throwaway’ from a puppy mill, Bella had all the hallmarks of neglect and abuse: detachment, anxiety, and extreme fear of, and aggression towards men and strangers.
With Natalie, Bella was almost instantly a different dog.”
— Steve Tucker and ‘Bella’
★★★★★
“It was once so stressful to take Jerry outside, with his excessive barking, pulling, and lack of obedience.
A few sessions with Natalie and you’d think we’d been working with her for years. She helped train Jerry to be far less reactive, but perhaps more importantly she trained my partner and I how to recognize Jerry’s negative tendencies and how to stop them in their tracks.
Now on our walks, and around other dogs, he’s so much more confident, relaxed, and an overall happier dog.”
— Hallie Neely and ‘Jerry’
