Meet Natalie
Natalie is a graduate of the National K-9 University and is owner and lead-trainer of Axel’s K9 Training. She founded Axel's K9 Training Dog Training & Behavior Modification in 2017, and since then it has developed a great reputation in the Cleveland area’s animal-owner community.

“I believe in a genuine relationship between Canine and Human: based on trust, understanding, and patience. A good dog starts with the owner. One of the most beautiful types of relationships on earth is the bond between Human and their Canine companion.”
