My story with sparky was always super difficult he was a very very distracted dog not obedient and super reactive I couldn’t go to dog parks or even have him around my family I thought it was a phase and that it was going to go away I tried everything I try going for runs so he can be tired didn’t work and I actually tried with TOW trainers and they quit on me and sparky and I’m going to be 100% honest I thought on giving him to a shelter with all the pain of my heart but I give him one more chance and I found Natasha and I am truly grateful for the assistance I received in helping my dog with reactive and aggressive behaviors. The Natasha trainer patience, expertise, and personalized approach made a significant difference not only for my dog but also for me as an owner. They took the time to understand the root of the issues and tailored strategies that were both effective and compassionate. The progress my dog has made is remarkable. Through consistent guidance and positive reinforcement techniques, not only has my dog's behavior improved, but our bond has strengthened immensely. The trainer empowered me with the confidence and skills needed to manage challenging situations, ensuring a more peaceful and enjoyable environment for both of us. Thank you Natasha for your dedication and for making such a positive impact in our lives. Your guidance has truly transformed our daily interactions and has brought a renewed sense of harmony and joy to our home.

Natasha at Canine Obsessions is an incredible trainer. If you’re thinking about training and not sure whether it’s worth it this is your sign to go for it. We have a 1-year-old Golden Retriever, Duffy. Before meeting Natasha, he was already a sweet dog with some basic commands, but her training completely transformed him. What we thought was “good” behavior became excellent. Everywhere we go, people compliment how calm and well-behaved he is, and they can’t believe he’s still just a year old. What really stands out is how training has made us feel more confident as dog owners. Duffy used to try to pick things up off the street, which always worried us because of how dangerous that can be. Natasha not only trained him, but also taught us how to handle those situations, which gives us so much peace of mind. Now we feel safer and more in control, and Duffy is happier too. Some people hesitate because of the cost, but I always tell my friends that the money you spend on training is an investment. Without it, you’ll likely spend just as much (if not more) on vet bills when your dog eats something they shouldn’t. Training gives you the gift of a well-behaved, safe, and confident dog that you can take anywhere and that’s priceless. We’re so grateful for Natasha and Canine Obsessions. She truly cares about the dogs and their families, and it shows in everything she does.

Natasha was incredibly prompt and responsive when I reached out for help training my rescue dog, Poe. I had warned her ahead of time that Poe had shown aggression toward strangers—everyone except me—within just days of interacting with others. He had been neglected for the majority of his first three years and had never been properly socialized or cared for. From the beginning, Natasha clearly explained her process and the protocols she follows when working with dogs like Poe. Within just a few weeks, I started seeing a huge shift in his behavior—he was like a whole new dog. Natasha didn’t just work with Poe; she also made sure I understood how to continue the training myself. She even went above and beyond by offering to meet outside of regular training hours to make sure Poe was getting the consistency he needed. If you’re looking for someone who’s knowledgeable, compassionate, and truly invested in your dog’s transformation—Natasha is your go-to girl.
