Dogs Life Skills

I cannot sing higher praises for Natasha. I am a first time puppy owner and was feeling so overwhelmed & unsure about where to start. MoMo my whippet was engaged & attentive to Natasha the moment she walked in our door. She also went above & beyond to get me the help I needed before Christmas closures. MoMo’s training is well on its way and the issues that we were having have been addressed in such a kind, professional & informative way. The help she has provided for us is invaluable & I’m sure we will be calling on her in future if we face any kind of hurdles! Thanks Natasha - MoMo & Teddi

Natasha came to our home to help with our new puppy.We were very happy with the skills she gave to help us with our very rowdy new pup.We would recommend Natasha.

Natasha was great with Buddy and myself. Very professional and certainly knows her stuff, knows dogs and knows how to teach pet owners how to get the best out of their pet. Made me feel comfortable and confident in the process and myself. Buddy is more calm and happier.

Natasha is very personable and great with animals. We engaged her help to assist our dog with his fear of storms. Natasha visited our home and provided us with a plan to slowly work through our Staffy's storm/loud noise phobia. Things are progressing well and we greatly appreciate her help! Highly recommended

Natasha was such a fantastic help to my Husband and I, and our 4 year old cocker spaniel Penny.Penny was uncontrollably excitable when guests would arrive and jump all over them. With Natasha's help we have ways to help divert this behaviour and guest greeting is now a lot less stressful.Natasha also helped us with strategies to prepare Penny for the arrival of our newborn.Natasha is always on time, provides lots of educative material and was kind enough to follow up with us to see how we were progressing after our sessions ended.Would 100% recommend Dogs Life Skills!

Natasha was a great assistance to us and provided practical and useful tip sheets and techniques to help us train a nervous and fearful rescue dog. Moo is now a happy member of the family. I would recommend Natasha to anyone.

When we first met Tash we had just adopted our rescue dog, Billy.We’d been told he would be a very large dog, and he was also a very timid little fellow who would get frightened when he saw other dogs, or we took him somewhere new.Tash is such an incredibly insightful & knowledgeable dog trainer, and over the last 6 months has helped us to guide our beloved doggo to become confident & happy. She has also been profoundly helpful in showing us how to get the best out of our relationship with Billy, and how to fast track through some of the “naughtier” behaviours associated with having a puppy.Billy is now super happy and outgoing, and we are looking forward to continuing our relationship with Tash and doing some of the more fun training, like ocean swimming/running/kayaking with the little dude!I can’t recommend Tash highly enough for Newcastle Dog Training, whether you have a puppy, an older rescue or family pet, and no matter what stage of training /issues you are having.
