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 t

raining 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 ‘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)

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

​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.

☀️🐾 Looking for fun ways to keep your pup cool over the bank holiday weekend?

With temperatures set to soar, a dog swimming pool can be an absolutely brilliant way to help your dog burn energy, stay cool, and have some safe summer fun. Whether your dog loves to paddle, swim, splash, or just cool their paws down, it’s such a lovely enrichment activity — especially for dogs that struggle in the heat.

We recently visited Woofs and Waves and the girls had the best time! 💦🐶

Just remember: 🐾 Always supervise your dog around water
🐾 Take plenty of fresh drinking water
🐾 Allow lots of rest breaks
🐾 Don’t force nervous dogs into the water — let them explore at their own pace

If you’re looking for something different to do with your dogs this weekend, this is definitely worth considering! ☀️🌊🐕

🎓🐾 Puppy School Graduates! 🐾🎓

Just look at this gorgeous lot — our latest Puppy School pups have officially graduated, and I couldn’t be prouder of them and their humans. 💜

Over the course, they’ve worked on confidence, focus, recall, loose lead foundations, settling, manners, handling skills and, most importantly, building that lovely connection between puppy and owner.

Puppy School isn’t about perfect puppies — it’s about helping you understand your puppy, giving you practical skills, and setting you both up for real-life success.

A huge well done to every puppy and human who joined us. You have all been brilliant, and it has been lovely watching your confidence grow each week. 🐶✨

Our next Puppy School class starts:

📅 Monday 1st June

🐾 “First day of puppy school… and they absolutely smashed it!” 🎉

New smells. New faces. New experiences…
…and they took it all in their stride like little pros.

Confident, curious, and ready to learn — this is exactly what we love to see at Paws Etiquette 💛

Getting things right from the very start makes SUCH a difference, and these pups are already on the best path forward.

I can’t wait to watch them grow over the next few weeks — they’re going to be superstars 🌟

If your pup is ready to start their journey, you know where I am 👀👇

🐾 Paws Etiquette Recommendation 🐾

If you’re looking for something a little different (and a LOT of fun!) for your dog, we highly recommend Woofs & Waves 💦

The girls recently had a visit and had the BEST time! From the moment they got in the water, you could see the confidence, excitement, and pure joy it brought them. It’s such a fantastic way to build confidence, burn energy, and give your dog a safe, enriching experience. Woofs and Waves

Swimming is also brilliant for:
✔️ Low-impact exercise (great for joints!)
✔️ Building confidence in nervous dogs
✔️ Mental stimulation in a new environment
✔️ Just pure, happy fun!
If you’ve never tried it before, it’s definitely worth a visit 👇

We love finding great experiences like this for our dogs—and this one gets a big thumbs up from us 🐾

🌭 “Impulse control level: EXPERT… or absolutely not.” 😂👀
The challenge:
Move sausages from one bowl to another… using chopsticks 🥢
The twist?
👉 Your dog has to SIT… and NOT eat them.
Sounds easy? Think again… 😅
This game tested:
🧠 Serious impulse control
🐾 Focus with high-value distractions (hello sausages 👀)
🎯 Trust between dog & owner
Because if your dog can ignore this…
you’ve basically unlocked a superpower 💪
BUT… wait for the ending 😂👇
One client said “rules are optional” and went FULL creative mode…
🥢➡️ lifted the entire bowl and won it for her team
Honestly?
10/10 problem solving
Gold star awarded ⭐😂
Training should be fun, memorable, and a little bit competitive 💛
So… be honest…
Would your dog leave the sausages… or would it be game over instantly? 😂👇

🥚 “Loose lead walking… but make it chaos.” 😂🐰
Owners balancing eggs…
dogs weaving around carrots…
and somehow STILL walking on a loose lead 👀
This wasn’t just a fun Easter relay — it was real-life training in disguise:
🐾 Loose lead skills under distraction
🧠 Focus with movement + excitement
🎯 Handler engagement (even when things get chaotic!)
Because let’s be honest…
if your dog can walk nicely during this…
your daily walks just got a whole lot easier 🙌
And the bunny hops at the end?
Let’s just say… coordination was optional 😂🐰
Training should be fun, practical, and something you actually enjoy doing 💛
Be honest… would you drop the egg or would your dog break the lead first? 👇😂
