About Us

Dogs Naturally business owner, Tamzin Wood

I have been teaching training classes for over 18 years now in the local area to Ash. I have a particular interest in fearful/reactive dogs as my first dog was a highly reactive terrier who lead me to the world of clicker training over 20 years ago. I also love working with the ‘stubborn’ as they often don’t respond well to ‘traditional’ techniques – I had a sight hound who did not conform to the conventional! However, I so enjoy teaching all breeds, shapes and sizes of dogs with all manner of behavioural and training issues.

I grew up with giant breeds – Wolfhounds and Great Danes, and have owned a Afghan x Saluki hound, an English Springer spaniel, a collie cross and terrier. They all taught me a lot about different breeds – especially hounds and terriers!

I am proud to be a member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers – an organisation which assesses trainers and holds a high ethos for training methods. They are not an organisation that let you join just because you paid for an online course with them – acceptance into their membership is very rigorous. Over the years I have attended many training courses, and continue to keep my knowledge current by undertaking a Compass level 5 course in dog behaviour as well as other courses from the School of Canine Science, ABTC, Gundog Trainers Academy and APDT. I have just started a Dog Aggression course with Dr Amber Batson which will take 1 year which I am really excited about!

I am also a member of ABTC as a dog trainer and hold a teaching qualification.

I feel very fortunate that most of our handlers come to us from personal recommendations from our current and past handlers – often our handlers are now on their second or third dog in their family with us! We have NEVER asked someone to leave as their dog was too noisy/badly behaved/disruptive – these are the dogs and people who need our help the most!  We pride ourselves on being different to other trainers and classes.
