 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.
In 2005, Natalie Moved to Youngsville NC to teach for Michele Godlevski, one of the most respected positive trainers in the area, at Teamwork's Dog Training. Natalie Learned many things while she was gone and many new techniques that she is exited to share with her new and former students in Greensboro, NC. "I not only learned things about Agility, but also about Flyball, Tracking, Obedience and reading a dogs body language."
While away, natalie was also bust continuing her education in the dog world as well as showing her 3 dogs and training others. Her accomplishments and experiences are listed below.
