Customer Reviews
We cannot be more pleased with the training Natalie has given both us, as owners, and Oscar, our highly reactive 6 year old French Bulldog. She is very patient and explanatory to all the "whys" of what we are learning and is SUPER knowledgeable in all things related to reactive training. We started out super slow with training and witnessed the effectiveness of moving slowly in processes with Oscar and after approx. 6 weeks of weekly one-on-one training sessions, we are seeing significant changes in his reactivity. She is open to communication, very personable and Oscar learned to love the words "lets go to school". He was always eager to go and now it has turned into "lets go on an adventure" now that we have progressed into outside spaces with other people and dogs present. We highly recommend Friends for Life and Natalie! The training has changed all of our lives for the better. - Evergreen, CO - March 2025
- Amy GNatalie was the instructor for puppy training when our dog was just a few months old. We hired her privately and her instruction was priceless! She helped with obedience and recall which were major for us as he was a larger breed dog and I am a very petite person. Without Natalie's guidance, I would not have near the result as he was my first dog to train. I love the process/style that she uses and highly recommend her and her company. - Evergreen, CO
