About Me
Natalie Childs
IMDT., Pro Trainer, Canine Principles, The Dog Trainer School

Having grown up in a family who always had dogs, including Parson Terriers, Dobermans, Rottweilers and Labradors, I understand the importance of a positive, trust based relationship between dog and owner and how rewarding it can be. In 2017 I decided to take my love for working dogs to the next level and began training on a professional level. Gaining experience in a voluntary Dog Trainer Assistant role at first I was then able to take the lead Dog Trainer Role while continuing my in-depth studies of force free, science based dog training methods proudly achieving Distinction Accreditation with top dog training institutes both in Practical and Theory Assessments and Experience. I am an accredited IMDT member and trainer (Institute of Modern Dog Trainers) , Pro Trainer and studied with Canine Principles, achieving diploma in Canine Coaching, Behaviour Professional and Search and Rescue Dog Handler, Enrichment through Scent Work, Canine Behaviour Professional Accredited Diploma, Canine Reactive Behaviour Accredited Advanced Certificate along with The Open College Network Accredited Certification โ€˜Principles of Dog Training and Behaviour', Level 3 . And as part of the UK Dog training charter I am honoured to display the UK Dog Behaviour & Training Charter symbol as an Assessed and Qualified Member of The Institute of Modern Dog Trainers (www.imdt.uk.com)

โ€‹Through continuing my personal development I can ensure I can provide you with the most appropriate, relationship building positive solutions.

โ€‹Based in the United Kingdom, focusing on but not restricted to Braintree/Essex area, I look forward to working with you and your canine companion, either in person or via Zoom.

๐Ÿพ Everyone, meet Waffle! ๐Ÿ’œ

I spent some time with this gorgeous little chap during his Puppy Home Schooling session this week โ€” and just look at that face! ๐Ÿฅน

The early puppy weeks are wonderful, but they can be a whirlwind too. We talked through practical ways to support toilet training, what to do when puppy teeth find hands or clothes, and how to make everyday learning manageable for the whole family.

My aim is to help people understand their puppy and build good habits with kind, reward-based training โ€” at their pace, in their own home.

Waffle, welcome to the Paws Etiquette family. I can't wait to see how you get on! ๐Ÿ’œ

Life with a puppy can be wonderful, exhausting and sometimes a little chaotic! If you're working through puppy biting, toilet training, lead walking or getting their attention when the world is exciting, you're not alone.

At Paws Etiquette Puppy School we use positive, reward-based training to build practical foundations including focus, recall, loose lead walking, calm settling and everyday manners.

Using a baby gate.

Creating more distance.

Putting your dog on a long line.

Choosing a quieter route.

Moving the exciting thing out of reach.

Changing the setup so your dog isn't repeatedly practising the exact behaviour you're trying to change.

That's management.

And no, it isn't cheating.

Management and training do different jobs โ€” and quite often we need both.

If your dog launches themselves at the window every time somebody walks past, I can work on the skills and emotions involved.

But I don't need them rehearsing the window-launching routine another 37 times while we're doing it.

If your dog's recall isn't reliable around wildlife yet, using a long line doesn't mean we've given up on recall training.

It means we're keeping everyone safer while we build the skill.

Good management can reduce opportunities to practise unwanted behaviour, keep situations at a level your dog can cope with, and give your actual training a better chance of succeeding.

The aim isn't necessarily to manage everything forever.

It's to stop making the learning process unnecessarily difficult.

You don't get extra dog-training points for choosing hard mode. ๐Ÿ˜

Well, nobody told the Confident Companions crew to make a quiet entrance! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿพ

Our very first Confident Companions class kicked off yesterday, and as you can see, enthusiasm was definitely not in short supply!

New surroundings, new friends and lots of excitement โ€” all part of the learning experience.

Over the next six weeks, we'll be building on those foundations, helping our dogs develop focus, confidence and everyday life skills, all through positive, reward-based training.

I think we're going to have a lot of fun with this lovely bunch! ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿถ

๐Ÿพ Struggling with your dog's training? You don't have to figure it out alone.

Maybe your dog pulls when you go somewhere exciting.

Perhaps recall disappears as soon as something interesting appears.

Maybe barking, overexcitement or distractions are making everyday life harder than you'd like.

Or perhaps you simply know something isn't quite working, but you're not sure what to change.

That's where I can help. ๐Ÿ’œ

I'm Natalie, the trainer behind Paws Etiquette Dog Training, and I offer personalised, reward-based private training designed around you, your dog and the things you actually need help with in everyday life.

๐Ÿ“ Near Halstead, Essex โ€” serving Braintree and surrounding areas

Not sure what would be right for you and your dog?

Let's have a chat.

You can book a free, no-obligation phone chat and tell me a little about what's happening. We can then work out the best way forward together.
