NATASHA OSBORN - CVT, CPDT-KA
Natasha With Spring, Elf, Bounder, Frog, and Kestrel On St Mary's Peak - 2018
Natasha founded Pathfinder Dog Training in 2011 to help teach people how to build a strong lifetime relationship and bond with their canine partners.
Since then, Natasha has developed a variety of classes to provide a full spectrum of dog training - obedience, agility, hiking safety and etiquette, First Aid, Nosework and much more. Utilizing only reward based training and force-free methods, Natasha focuses on building a lifelong, cohesive, trusting partnership between owners and their dogs.
Natasha has extensively studied and researched dog behavior and body language and has spent over 25 years as a Certified Veterinary Technician, and is also a Certified Pet Dog Trainer (CPDT). Owning and living with wolf hybrids, Denali and Brumby, and currently a pack of five dogs, also gave Natasha deep insight in to dog behavior.
Natasha became involved in the canine sport of Agility in 2000, and now trains and competes with 2 dogs.
When not working, training or traveling, Natasha can be found on the trails and mountains of Western Montana hiking and biking (with her dogs, of course). She lives in Stevensville, MT with her 5 dogs, 3 cats, and 2 horses.
