Feeling frustrated and helpless, Natalie needed new answers.

Natalie Kirkwood learned a lot as she trained her agility dogs of the past to great achievements. However nothing could have prepared her for the frustrations and helplessness that she was about to endure when she brought her 3 month old Tasmanian Smithfield puppy "Sage" into her life. Although her love for her dog was obvious to all, their continuous battles with Sage’s arousal state in the agility ring lead Natalie to remove her dog from the sport altogether.
