Natalie is a seasoned Holistic Dog Behaviourist specialising in addressing reactivity and aggression issues across all breeds and rescues. With over eighteen years of experience and qualifications at levels five and six and professional accreditation at the highest level with the IAABC (International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants), Natalie has dedicated her career to helping dogs and their owners build harmonious relationships. Based in the UK, Natalie offers her expertise online worldwide and in person to dog caregivers and professionals alike. Her journey into the field of dog behaviour began in 2007, with a deep-rooted passion for understanding canine behaviour and helping her first-ever heart dog overcome the behavioural challenges associated with reactivity. This subject has continued to be an obsession all this time. Throughout her career, Natalie has worked with thousands of dogs, including rescues, police dogs, and cases referred by veterinarians and other professionals. Her approach is rooted in applied neuroscience for affective behaviour, focusing on a holistic, force-free, coercion-free, positive-based methodology. Natalie believes in investigating and addressing behavioural issues at their root cause, delving into sleep, nutrition, exercise, socialisation, and freedom from pain and discomfort. By prioritising the emotional wellbeing of companion dogs and their caregivers, she empowers them to navigate life's challenges confidently together, overcoming behavioural issues.

Your reactive dog doesn’t need more training, they need to feel safe. 🫶
Trust is built long before the tough moments. ⏳
It grows in the quiet times: when we slow down, notice what they notice, and show them their world matters to us too. 👀
Reactivity is communication, a call for connection because big reactions mean they’re struggling to cope. 📣💛
When we meet them in those quiet moments, side by side, that’s when real teamwork begins. 🤝✨

How many dogs do you dread seeing, even for routine procedures?

Natalie Turton FdSc BSc (Hons) CDBC from Pawsitive Dog Behaviour is presenting a one-hour webinar for veterinary professionals alongside Alice Watts BSc MSc ABTC-ATI/CAB from Education4Paws.

We will examine how handling choices and cooperative care influence patient outcomes in veterinary practice, including:

- identifying patients at higher risk of handling intolerance before arrival
- assessing behaviour and handling tolerance before contact begins
- how travel, waiting, pain and previous experiences affect the consultation
- comparing passive handling with restrictive handling
- how arousal affects handling tolerance
- practical changes to booking, the clinical environment, examination order and handling
- increasing the likelihood of completing essential procedures without making future visits more difficult

If your dog is reactive, the world already feels like too much. Loud noises. Fast movements. Sudden changes. It can all tip them over the edge.

But you can be the one thing they always know they can count on.

Predictability is not boring for a reactive dog. It is safety. It is relief.

When they know how you will respond. When they trust you to step in and help them leave the situation. You will not punish. You understand their struggle, so you will not get frustrated. You represent safety. That changes everything.

Your calm and consistent support becomes the anchor they need.

That stability helps them feel safer and more in control. It is what allows healing to begin.

A dog that FEELS safe does not need constant direction. They rest. They observe. They choose calm on their own, even when things are happening around them.

This is not the result of training. It is emotional safety, a feeling gained from being supported by you.

When we shift from managing behaviour to meeting needs, something changes. A dog who feels understood and supported starts to recover faster and react less.

Letting your dog pause and take in their surroundings does not mean you are doing nothing. It is how your dog self-regulates. It builds confidence. And it tells them they are allowed to feel, not just perform.

If you are stuck in a cycle of managing your dog’s every move, you are not alone. I have one space left this month for reactive dog families ready to do things differently.
