Are You Struggling With...

A dog that drags you down the street, making every walk a chore instead of a joy?

That sinking feeling when your recall fails — again — and your dog runs off to chase wildlife or other dogs?

A dog who just won’t focus on you when it really matters?

A companion who can’t settle calmly when you need them to?

If any of that sounds familiar, you’re not alone — and I have the solution.

Where to Start: Finding the Right Path for You and Your Dog

To ensure every dog starts in the right place, all new clients begin by completing a Pre-Assessment Questionnaire. This helps us understand your dog’s behaviour, experiences, and comfort level around people and other dogs.

Based on your answers:

If your dog is comfortable and non-reactive, you’ll be invited to a 30-minute Mini Assessment Call with me. This gives me a chance to get to know you and your dog and your goals, while ensuring you're both ready for the Foundation class.

If your responses indicate your dog may be nervous, reactive, or struggling with other dogs or people, you’ll be directed to my Reactive Dog Assessment — an in-depth evaluation and tailored plan to get your dog ready for success.

Existing Nightsabre Clients: If you’ve trained with me before, you can skip the assessments and jump straight into the membership!

What Does it Cost?

  • £99 per month — rolling membership subscription

  • One-time £30 joining fee for new clients

    Membership starts on the first Monday of your joining month, and fees are collected on the 1st of the month.

Spaces are limited to just 4 dog-handler teams per class — secure your place today!

TESTIMONIALS

What others are saying

"Transformed Our Reactive, High-Drive Lurcher"

"When we rescued our Lurcher, Bracken, she was highly reactive—especially to other dogs. Natasja assessed her needs and started us off with one-to-one sessions. Over just a few weeks, Bracken’s progress was incredible, and she was soon ready to join group classes. Natasja’s softly-softly, fun approach helped us understand and communicate with Bracken in ways we never had before. Training has become something we both enjoy, and we’re continuing classes simply because it’s so much fun. I can’t recommend Natasja enough—her love for dogs and her ability to teach owners is second to none.." - Steve Jones

"No Pressure, Just Real Progress"

"Natasja’s Fun Focus Play classes were exactly what our underconfident rescue dog needed. The no-pressure, game-based training helped her grow in confidence and strengthened our bond. Even with no prior training, she quickly picked it up and loved every minute. Natasja’s knowledge and gentle approach make you feel truly supported—you're in safe hands at Nightsabre.." - Lynn McLaughlin

"Highly recommend the Fun Focus Play Classes"

"My Labrador has hyper mobility (adhd in a dog). I’ve been with Nightsabre for a few years now and the change in my dog is incredible.

He used to get so frustrated, jumping up and mouthing a lot but with Natasja’s teaching he’s now calmed down. He loves going to training. I can definitely recommend Nightsabre 100%." - Lesley Parker

"Real Results, Even With Vizsla Energy!"

"I reached out to Natasja after my adolescent Hungarian Vizsla started reacting to other dogs and some people. A fellow Vizsla owner had recommended her, and I’m so glad they did. Natasja was brilliant—she showed me how to use games to teach him vital skills like disengaging from triggers, settling calmly, and harnessing his natural gundog instincts in a positive way.

With incredible patience (and tolerance for his goofy personality and my constant repeating of commands!), she helped us both grow in confidence. I still use her techniques today, and our training journey with Natasja sparked my own passion for dog behaviour. It gave me the confidence to start walking reactive dogs professionally. I’ll always be grateful for her support and expertise." - Helen Ward

MEET your instructor

Hey, I'm Natasja Lewis!

In 1994, my fascination with dog training ignited as I welcomed Dali, a Shetland Sheepdog, into our family. The challenges we faced birthed my passion for canine behaviour, propelling me to refine my skills through intensive study, workshops, and a deep understanding of training methodologies.

Central to my approach is the revolutionary Fun | Focus | Play® method. Unlike traditional techniques, it forges a joyful partnership, aligning with the latest in canine behavior science. Beyond being a skilled trainer, I'm also an author, my books "No Pulling Allowed" and "Dogz Thinkz Differentz," unveiling innovative perspectives on training.

What sets me apart is not only my years of experience and knowledge, but the ethos of choice and collaboration that defines my training. Our journey together isn't just about training your pup; it's about fostering a profound bond, understanding, and confidence, allowing you to navigate the complexities of dog ownership seamlessly. Let's sculpt a harmonious connection that transcends the ordinary – reach out today to unlock your dog's true potential.
