Do you think dog training will not work with your stubborn dog? Are you tired of coming home to chewed-up shoes, incessant barking, or chaotic walks with your dog? Are you seeking effective solutions that fit seamlessly into your schedule and deliver real results?
If you’ve ever wondered why your dog just doesn’t listen, or what’s really going on in that furry little brain, you’re in the right place.

When you understand how your dog thinks, you can teach anything with patience, kindness, and consistency.
I’m Natalia Rozas, Certified Professional Dog Trainer and neuroscientist, and I help dog parents understand the science behind good behavior. Because training isn’t about dominance or punishment, it’s about communication, connection, and how the brain learns.
At Dog Training Excellence, you’ll discover how to use positive, science-based methods to create calm, cooperative dogs who want to listen. Through neuroscience, we can explain why reward-based training works, how habits form, and how emotions shape your dog’s behavior.
Dog behavior science can help you understand the fundamentals of effective dog obedience training. Not just quick fixes and solutions. In this website, science will always be explained in a fun and easy to follow manner because...
...with knowledge and practice comes excellence.
