Natalie Meier

Natalie was personally trained by Jenny & Mike and has been part of the team for the past 11 years. She has a wealth of experience working with a variety of breeds of dog and gets excellent results with all of the dogs that she takes in for training. Natalie lives in a busy household with her partner and 3 children (14 yrs and 4 yr and 5 yr).

 

She is passionate about continuing her education and keeping up-to-date with the latest training and behaviour research, enabling her to develop her skills and methods to find the best approaches for different dogs and their owners.

​

Natalie is passionate about reward-based training and all of her training is done using treats, toys, games and lots of praise to ensure your dog enjoys their stay and learns effectively whilst maintaining high welfare standards.

 

Natalie only takes in 1 dog for training at any one time, allowing her to offer a personal and exclusive training service. Natalie doesn't currently have a dog of her own, but has previously owned 2 Dachshunds and 2 Belgian Shepherds  who she trained to an advanced level of training using modern, reward based training methods.

Poppy the Boxer Puppy - 2 Weeks Residential Dog Training

Poppy the 18 week old Boxer puppy has completed a 2 week residential training holiday at Adolescent Dogs Primarily her owners wanted us to help her to walk better on lead (and not bite it constantly), to work on teaching alternative behaviours to jumping up when meeting people and to better socialise her to a variety of stimuli now that lockdown restrictions are starting to ease. Poppy did incredibly well during her time with us, and her ability to settle in the house in particular made huge progress. This will serve as an excellent foundation to build on with a view to taking her to cafes once we are all able to enjoy eating out again. She can now walk giving eye contact to her handler for short periods on lead and this can be built on with time. She bites the lead far less, and more importantly, she understands to stop the behaviour when asked and responds if she does forget herself and attempts the old behaviour. We worked hard to socialise her as best as possible during the continued lock down, taking her to a variety of locations, exposing her to novel sights and sounds and pairing them with positive reinforcement. Poppy is a bundle of fun and we loved having her in our home, we will miss her incredibly loud snoring immensely! www.adolescentdogs.com You can learn with us online too #boxerdog #residentialdogtraining #puppytraining
