Natalie Lewis has been training dogs since she was 4 years old, maybe younger. Her mother remembers her dressing up their German Shepard in circus outfits and training him so she could put on a show for the family. This love for training and performing has grown with her as her talents have evolved.

When Natalie began in agility, she had a hyperactive JRT and a will that would not end. Neither dog nor handler has slowed, and as of today, both are still enjoying the wonderful world of agility.

To continue her education, Natalie has attended many seminars on handling different breeds and behaviors. She has worked with several top trainers including Stacey Perolete,Rhonda Carter, Paulina Renee Hope, Wendy Pape, Steven Frick, Chris Parker, Pati Mah, Karin Holick and Lynne Wetherell. These techniques learned can be varied depending on the dog. She has trained everything from Deerhounds to a Pappions along with titling two Border Collies and a JRT. Lists of all her experiences are shown below.
