TESTIMONIALS

What others are saying

"I can't recommend Natasja enough"

"Having attended traditional puppy classes with previous dogs I was looking for a trainer who only takes small groups of pups.

My Border Collie pup, Lacey, has enjoyed attending the puppy classes as Natasja uses reward based methods with food, play and toys. This means that the class remains generally quiet with the pups being relaxed and interested.

I can't recommend Natasja enough for any new puppy owners.." - Pat Griffin & Lacey

"Highly recommend the Pawdawan Course"

"Natasja has an Excellent understanding and knowledge of fun, focused dog training.

My Setter is the first puppy I’ve had that I have achieved a good walk with slack lead, and recall with.

I highly recommend Natasja." - Cris LeDuc

"Highly recommend this"

"Laine is my 4th puppy and many people think that you should know what you are doing when it is your 4th, but you don’t.

She is so calm and confident after both the puppy and junior classes and loves to learn. To have a one year Chessie that stops dead on the whistle retrieves everything and has a recall to die for is a delight.

I can thoroughly recommend training with Natasja because it is fun and dogs love it – I have taken some of the games home to the other dogs, and even my 11-year-old thinks it is fun and is more responsive.”." - Jo Nash

"Very Highly Recommended"

"We were first recommended to Natasja by a renowned dog behaviourist as being the only dog trainer in Dorset that she would recommend.
Having followed her advice we have now taken two puppies to the ‘Fun Focus Play’ puppy course over the years.


Natasja is extremely intelligent and knowledgeable as far as dog training is concerned.
The Nightsabre method of training is kind, fair and rewarding.


All the puppies end up respecting her and falling in love with her!


We cannot recommend Natasja highly enough, plus the owners and their dogs have great fun." - Ian and Kristina Crowther

What are you waiting for

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.
