The Person Behind the Paw
Hi, I'm Natalie
I'm the founder of Paw in Hand Centre Barks — a dog training and behaviour specialist, home boarder, and canine wellbeing and nutrition adviser based in Martham, Norfolk, with training sessions held at our field in Wroxham.
I believe every dog deserves to be understood. My approach is versatile, using a variety of training methods tailored to each dog's individual situation. Whether it's a rescue case, raising a new pup, fun group activities and pack walks, or providing a home-from-home retreat — help is at Paw In Hand.
I train in real-life environments because that's where it matters most. From field sessions in Wroxham to treasure hunts around the local area, I make sure training translates to the real world — not just a controlled setting.
When you go away, your dog stays with me in my own family home as part of the pack. I send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing they're happy, loved and well looked after.

What Makes Us Different
Tailored To Your Dog
No cookie-cutter approaches here. Every training plan is built around your dog's unique personality, breed, and needs.
Balanced Training
Honest guidance that adjusts to your dog's individual needs. We use a range of methods to establish clear boundaries and build confidence — without being mean or abusive. It's about understanding your dog and finding what works for them.
Real Home Environment
Whether it's boarding or residential training, your dog stays in a genuine home — not a facility or kennel.
Ongoing Support
Training doesn't stop when the session ends. We're here for you with continued advice and guidance.
What Our Clients Say
Fetching latest Google reviews...
“We were really struggling with our black Lab who had many reactive behavioural issues. Despite having followed the advice of vets and other trainers we were getting nowhere. Natalie completely changed all of this and we can't thank her enough. I am no longer having panic attacks on walks. Natalie really has made such a big difference to all our lives.”
“Natalie is the only person I would trust with my dogs. After my dog being attacked twice she is the only person who has been able to help with their training. She is by far the best trainer I have ever had (and I've had lots). She goes above and beyond in sharing her knowledge.”
“Natalie is simply amazing with her care and confidence in boarding our dog Simba. He loves his time with her. She takes away all the worry about leaving him so we can rest. My only regret is that I wish we had found her years ago. She's one in a million.”
