Alongside her talented partner Lee, Natalie excels in transforming canine lives through our In-Home and Board and Train programs. Their dedication is unmatched and their results speak volumes!
A little bit about Natalie and Lee Lane -
'Natalie and Lee Lane, a husband-and-wife team on the Oregon Coast. Originally a Northern California native, Natalie interned and eventually worked for a dog training facility in Chico as the Training Center Coordinator. In 2005, Natalie earned her certification as a Registered Veterinary Assistant. In 2011, she graduated from Sierra Nevada University with a Bachelor’s of Science in Biology and a minor in Psychology. Her professional animal training career has included working with everything from tigers to tortoises, but dogs have always played a pivotal role in her life. Lee was born and raised in Northern Idaho and his family always had extra-large dogs such as St. Bernard’s and Brasileiro Filas. Lee pursued a career as a heavy-equipment mechanic, but a dog named Jack jump-started his venture into dog training. Through their experience training Jack, both Natalie and Lee acquired a devoted passion for Balanced Dog Training and the high quality of life it can bring even the most reactive dog. In 2016, Natalie and Lee began working as Dog Trainers for GET RATTLED which conducts rattlesnake, porcupine, and skunk aversion training clinics for dogs all over the country. Jack has since passed, but his legacy lives on in the work Natalie and Lee now do together. They both work for Koru, offering in-home and Board and Train for people looking to bring out the best in their dog. Natalie and Lee, their American Bully Valkyrie, cat, chickens, ducks, horses, goats, reptiles and 2 pet skunks live on the Oregon Coast in Lincoln County. They are thrilled to be able to represent Koru K9 and bring their experien

A quality E-Collar offers up to 100 levels of stimulation. The trainer starts at zero and gradually increases until they find the dog’s “working level,” which is the point where the dog shows a small, involuntary muscle reflex (like a knee-jerk). Once that level is found, the E-Collar becomes a powerful tool to reinforce positive behavior! 🔄
When introduced correctly and used with care, E-Collars can be a game-changer in a dog’s training journey. 💪

Did you know your dog's nose holds the key to their happiness and mental energy?
Did you know your dog's nose holds the key to their happiness and mental energy?
Dogs have a massive part of their brain dedicated to scent detection, much larger than ours, which means they can enjoy and benefit immensely from smell-oriented activities!
Here’s a simple but fantastic way to keep your furry friend mentally stimulated:
* Hide treats or toys around your house
* Engage in find-the-owner’s-scent games
* Try scatter feeding or use a ball pit for meals
These activities are not just fun; they tap into your dog's natural abilities and provide great mental workouts.

Have you ever wondered why some dogs wear muzzles?
Have you ever wondered why some dogs wear muzzles? Let's demystify this with Trainer Maloree who's expertly guiding one of her board and train pups through muzzle training!
Muzzles often get a bad rap, appearing intimidating and commonly misunderstood as tools only for aggressive dogs. However, that's far from the whole story!
* Muzzles are invaluable in settings that may stress out your furry friend, like vet visits or grooming appointments.
* Dogs use their mouths to interact and sometimes to express discomfort or protect. A muzzle helps manage these interactions safely.
* Properly introduced and used, a muzzle can prevent situations that could escalate, ensuring everyone’s safety and peace of mind.
Using a muzzle is not about restricting your dog, but rather empowering them to handle various environments confidently and comfortably. It’s all about trust, safety, and preparedness—setting our dogs up to succeed no matter the situation

Our #1 priority is setting our clients—and their dogs—up for success.

Training tools are simply a way of communicating with our dogs.
Training tools are simply a way of communicating with our dogs.
Just like any new language, it’s essential that they understand the basics in a calm, low-distraction setting before we ask them to perform in more challenging environments.
Once they have a solid grasp on the "language" we’re speaking, we can begin to introduce distractions. Over time, we can move to bigger challenges—like navigating busy cities with crowds of people, animals, and all sorts of noises.
Building a strong foundation is key. When the dog understands what we’re asking, and we’ve put in the work to strengthen that bond, we can handle anything together.

Meet Buddy, the Miniature Schnauzer
We LOVE seeing progress like this! 🙌 Meet Buddy, the Miniature Schnauzer on the left.
Buddy came to us with a history of biting and some challenging behaviors — barking at people, reacting to other dogs, and feeling uneasy when new faces entered his home. But after working hard with Austin Dog Trainer Haley in our Board and Train program, Buddy has completely transformed!
As you can see in this video, Buddy is now a confident, happy pup who looks to his handler for guidance, rather than acting on impulse. 🐾
His growth and progress have been incredible, and we couldn’t be more proud of him! 💙
Does your dog struggle with similar behaviors? We can help your pup become the best version of themselves! 🐶✨
