Prioritizing Bond, Behavior, and Breed Fulfillment

AnK9 Services

BOARD & TRAIN

ANK9’s Board & Train program is focused on:
Advancing already established skills for current clients ready to level up their dog’s training.
Refreshing behaviors for dogs who need a reset or more structure after previous training.
Addressing specific problem areas that feel like barriers for owners—such as reactivity, confidence building, or advanced obedience refinement.
Board & Train is not a shortcut—it’s an investment in deepening your teamwork. When paired with your involvement and commitment, it can be an incredible accelerator for growth and long-term results.

PRIVATE SESSIONS

Offered in 6 or 12 session packages, private sessions allow for direct, hands-on coaching between you and your trainer—perfect for improving handling skills, troubleshooting challenges in real time, and building progress efficiently.
The 6-session package covers balanced training fundamentals such as boundary setting, marker training, reliable obedience, leash skills, recall, and more.
The 12-session package includes everything from the 6-session plan while expanding into behavior modification for issues like dog or human reactivity, as well as advanced off-leash training.
Each program is built to strengthen communication between you and your dog, giving you the confidence and tools to navigate daily life with ease.

About the owner

Nattalia Acosta

Bridge the communication gap between you and your dog

With over 10 years of hands-on experience and hundreds of dogs trained, I’ve dedicated my career to helping dogs and their owners build stronger, clearer, and more fulfilling relationships. Growing up surrounded by chaotic, misunderstood dogs sparked my passion to understand why dogs behave the way they do—and how the right guidance and communication can transform confusion into confidence.

My approach focuses on creating clarity, structure, and trust so dogs can feel safe, happy, and ready to live big, full lives alongside their owners. While I now prioritize setting young dogs up for success early in life, I also work with adult and senior dogs—helping owners refine obedience, improve leash skills, strengthen off-leash reliability, and work through reactivity. it’s never too late to train to your dog!

Every dog is unique, and my goal is always the same: to help dogs and humans truly understand each other.

What clients are saying about advanced nature k9

Testimonials

Ella & Revecka J.

I valued most how well she communicated and how much she really connected and loved my dog. But also gave the discipline to whip her into shape. She barely needs a leash now and loves going on little adventures with the family and being our little stroll dog.

Hershey & Jess e.

I have nothing but amazing things to say about Nattalia and her style of training. Hershey loved his time there and I knew he was in good hands the whole time. I am grateful for this board + train and all that it has taught me. I feel so much more confident with Hershey and the knowledge I now have from what Nattalia has taught me.

Arti & Hannah M.

Nattalia was a great communicator with not only us but also with Arti. She was very knowledgable on different forms of training and offered advice of what she thought was best for Arti and us. She was very supportive and answered any and all questions we had. She went above and beyond to make sure the training would be successful and to make sure we knew what to do to continue training with Arti on a daily basis.

Mia & Cass s.

My experience working with Nattalia was incredible, I chose Nattalia because she is able to instill discipline while also being the most gentle, compassionate, and empathic person towards dogs whether she has a relationship with the animal or not.
