Almost a year ago we rescued a two year old staffi from the RSPCA, she was a little wild and dog reactive.We were introduced to Nightsabre Dog Training and to cut a long story short, she is better behaved and she is good with most commands.We would recommend Natasja and if you keep working at it, the results are amazing.

We have a Border Collie who is very reactive to noises and transportation. We found Natasja through Find a Dog Trainer. I chose Natasja as she has over 30 years experience of working with dogs. Natasja has been amazing, really helping to show us how to train our dog with both the noise and with traffic. Although it's a work in progress, I feel sure with the continued training that we have had, we will end up with a much calmer dog. I would 100% recommend Natasja!!

Didnt know what to expect from dog training but attending classes with my dog at Nightsabre and it really has paid off. Learnt some valuable lessons on how to keep engaged with my dog and for him to focus on me. He thoroughly enjoyed going to the training sessions and now I feel I have the tools to carry on myself with training him. Thank you Natasja

I chose Nightsabre training for my dog for several reasons. Firstly, Natasha had excellent reviews. Secondly she was offering training for dogs of all ages not just puppies including a training package for rogue teenagers! Strictly speaking our dog is a a little older than that but we got Shelby, a cocker spaniel, in November as a rescue dog of about 3 and an half and all he knew was sit! Thirdly, and this is my favourite bit, Natasha accompanies her courses with an online platform with training videos so if you forget something or need refreshing on something the videos are always there to return to, which I have done many times. I was also fortunate that Natasha is local, however the training is worth travelling for if you are not on the doorstep.Natasha’s classes are very structured and she not only gives clear instructions and demonstrations but also explains why she uses the methods that she does, along with explaining why some other forms don’t necessarily work. When she’s explaining things you often feel yourself having a lightbulb moment - ah, yes I now understand why that would work! I now feel more confident in being able to continue my training with Shelby as I can certainly see a difference already. His training is obviously still ongoing as he had lots of old habits that we are working on but I now feel I have the tools to succeed. And I know if I get stuck that Natasha will be able to come up with a plan.Highly recommended for dogs (and owners) of all ages!

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 Natashja’s teaching he’s now calmed down. He loves going to training. I can definitely recommend Nightsabre 100%

Will recommend to anyone who’s interested in understanding their puppy or dog, Natasja knowledge and experience helped me understand how dog training should be about building a lifelong bond with your dog, talk to Natasja she’s always happy to meet you and your dog

My puppy and I have been working with Natasja for 3 one-to-one sessions. This basic training has formed the foundation of what I hope will be many years of a thoughtful and well behaved puppy - and owner!

Knowledgeable, supportive and has only yours and your dog’s best interests at heart. I’d be lost without this woman, can’t highly recommend enough

Excellent understanding and knowledge of fun, focused dog training. My setter is the first puppy I've had a good walk slack lead and recall with. Highly recommend Natasja

My adolescent Hungarian Vizsla and I went to Natasja after she was recommended by a fellow Vizsla owner. He had begun to react to other dogs and some humans.She was brilliant with us and taught me how to engage him in games which trained things like disengaging from triggers, how to settle on a mat, impulse control harnessing his gundog instincts and so much more.With the patience of a saint she tolerated his goofy personality, cheeky jumping dog snogs and my awful habit of saying commands over and over and over! We still use the techniques she gave us.Learning with Natasja fuelled a growing interest in dog behaviour and contributed to having the confidence to keep learning and to start working in the industry, walking reactive dogs. I will always be grateful to her for helping both of us.

Both my pup and I have fun at Natasha's classes. My pup learns to focus on me through games that she enjoys, but which also have a practical purpose behind them. The classes have covid precautions in place so we can train without worrying.

I have been training with Natasja for about 3 years. She has always been supportive with my over enthusiastic dog and helped with her focus. She has always encouraged me to believe in our ability to achieve our goals. We attend Rally Obedience and Hoopers classes and have also attended some of the workshops Natasja runs.Natasja is a very friendly and approachable trainer.

I've been training with Natasja for a couple of years now. She introducedme and Henry to the sport of Hoopers. All her training is positive and reward based. Henry loves his training sessions and I'm learning so much about how he responds, not just to my commands, but also to my signals and body posture.

My first contact with Natasja at Nightsabre was after we "rescued" our Lurcher. Bracken was reactive to people and most especially other dogs, in most other areas she was what you would expect from an excitable 2 year old with high energy and very high chase drive. Natasja came to assess her needs and we started off on one to one training sessions for the next 4 weeks after which Natasja thought she may be ok to attend weekly mixed classes, all the while we practiced the skills that we had been taught and watched her progress from week to week. We have benefited tremendously from Natasja teaching us how to help our lovely dog, turns out our pup is pretty good! I have had and been around dogs for years but have a much better understanding and level of communication now thanks to Natasja's softly softly and fun approach. Bracken is already as good as we wanted her to be but we will continue to go to classes because it’s great fun for us both. I highly recommend Natasja and Wendy at Nightsabre, they make a great team, and their love of dogs and ability to train their owners is clear to see.

I can’t recommend the Zero to hero TTouch weekend enough. I took my 10 year old bull terrier and had a great time and learnt so much.

Blue & I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves at No Pulling Allowed yesterday. We both learnt loads and it was nice to put a few more tips into the toolkit to manage his pulling when hes over excited. Great course, incredibly stunning training location and a fantastic teacher what kore could a dog mad girlie wish for. Thank you so much Natasja xx
