Hi, I’m Natalie
I am a level 3, Elite Fear Free Certified Veterinary Practice Manager. After becoming the first Fear Free Certified Practice in the Dakota’s, I was invited to be on the Fear Free Speaker’s Bureau to share best practices and have become a subject matter expert in Fear Free culture and communication. In my spare time, I enjoy going on adventures with my amazing husband, Tim. Our favorite things to do are traveling the country to see our favorite bands, and spending as much time on or IN the water as possible. My angel dog, Sniff, was the inspiration behind creating this nonprofit, which focuses on leash etiquette and why it matters. Not all dogs like to say hello and that’s ok.

"Natalie is an awesome advocate for our furry four legged friends! Loving the sign in our yard that Natalie herself dropped off. Hoping this will help our neighbors understand that not all dogs like to say hello. Thanks for all you do for our community!"
