Natalie Waller

Hello, I’m Natalie, the founder of Tees Valley Dog Training.

What started as a small dog walking business in 2018 has since developed into a dedicated dog training service, which has become a real passion of mine.

I am a qualified trainer with the Institute of Modern Dog Training (IMDT) and I am committed to helping puppy and dog owners give their dogs the best start and ongoing support. I run a weekly puppy club on Saturdays, focusing on various aspects of puppy development and progressing skills each week.

While I enjoy working with puppies, the majority of my time is spent introducing dogs and their handlers to the world of dog sports. As a qualified instructor in Canine Hoopers, Scent Detection, and Mantrailing, I travel across the North East to help dogs and handlers build calmness, focus, and confidence through these activities.

I have a whippet named Twiggy who assists me on lessons, she has a busy lifestyle however loves nothing more than a chilled evening on the couch. 

I am also a qualified TDT UK trusted trainer, and I’m excited to support families in my area by training therapy dogs to assist those in need.
