TESTIMONIALS
5 Star Rated by Dorset Puppy Parents
Here’s what Dorset puppy parents are saying about their Pawdawan journey.
My Border Collie, Lacey, is calm and focused thanks to Natasja’s fun, reward-based classes. I can’t recommend her enough for any new puppy owner.
My Setter walks beautifully on a loose lead now — I’ve achieved more with Natasja in weeks than I had in months before.
Laine is my 4th puppy, but Natasja taught me things I’d never known. She’s calm, confident, and makes training genuinely fun.
The Fun Focus Play® method is kind, fair, and rewarding. Both our dogs adore Natasja — and so do we!

Frequently Asked Questions
What age should my puppy be to join the Pawdawan Course?
Your puppy should be under 24 weeks at the start of the course and have completed their full vaccination programme.
If your puppy is older, please get in touch — I’ll help you find the most suitable next step for your training journey.
My puppy can be shy or easily overexcited – is that a problem?
Not at all. Every puppy learns at their own pace, and classes are limited to just four puppies per session, so each one receives individual attention.
Whether your pup needs a confidence boost or help calming down, I’ll adapt the exercises to suit their needs.
What if my puppy isn’t ready after the first class?
If your puppy isn't ready after the first class, we'll happily move you to a later course - no stress, no judgement.
Is this course suitable for first time puppy owners?
Yes — this course is designed to give you clear, step-by-step guidance from the very beginning, so you always know what to do next.
What if I can’t make one of the classes?
Don’t worry — you’ll have immediate access to the full online version of the Pawdawan Puppy Course through our Members Portal and App. You can revisit lessons, review videos, and stay on track at your own pace between classes.
Where are classes held?
All classes take place at Milborne St Andrew Sports Ground, Lane End, Milborne St Andrew, Dorset DT11 0JA.
It’s a secure outdoor venue with plenty of space for safe learning and free parking for all students.
What should I bring to class?
Once you sign up, you’ll get instant access to the Fun | Focus | Play® Client Portal, where you’ll find full details of what to bring, how to prepare, and what to expect on your first day.
As a general guide, please bring:
Your puppy
Their favourite treats
A comfortable Y-shaped harness
A standard lead (no slip leads or retractables, please)
Your puppy’s vaccination record for the first session
What if the weather is bad?
We hold our classes at the Milborne St Andrew Sports Ground, where we love training outdoors whenever possible — it’s the perfect space for puppies to learn and explore. If the weather turns, we can move into the Pavilion for a comfortable indoor session.
Only in severe weather — or if the Pavilion is unavailable — would we reschedule, and you’ll be notified via WhatsApp and your Members Portal.
What happens after the Pawdawan Puppy Course finishes?
Most students go on to the Rogues Course, designed to help dogs and their guardians through the challenging adolescent stage. It builds on your puppy’s early foundations — developing reliable recall, focus, loose lead walking, and self-control around distractions.
As a Pawdawan graduate, you’ll receive priority booking for the Rogues Course when your current course ends, so your puppy’s progress continues seamlessly.
Still feeling unsure? You’re not alone — most puppy owners feel this way before they start.

MEET Your Instructor
My dog training journey began in 1994 when I welcomed Dali, a Shetland Sheepdog, into my life. The challenges we faced together sparked a lifelong passion for understanding canine behaviour.
Since then, I’ve spent decades refining my skills through study, workshops, and hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds and temperaments.
At the heart of my approach is the Fun | Focus | Play® method — a kind, science-based way of training that builds trust and focus through play and positive reinforcement.
I’m also the author of No Pulling Allowed and Dogz Thinkz Differentz, sharing my philosophy of fair, effective dog training.
I don’t just train dogs — I help guardians understand them, so you can build a relationship that makes everyday life with your dog easier and more enjoyable.
