CHANGING THE MEANING OF DOG OWNERSHIP ONE DOG AND OWNER AT A TIME
Meet the owner
Hi, I’m Nattalia Acosta, founder of Advanced Nature K9. My passion for dogs comes from a lifetime of hands-on experience and a deep belief that many dogs labeled as “difficult” are simply misunderstood, under-fulfilled, and searching for clear leadership. From an early age, I was drawn to dogs others struggled with, and that curiosity grew into a calling to better understand how dogs think, communicate, and trust.
Through my own journey rehabilitating my dogs, Ara and Kade—both with significant behavioral challenges—I’ve lived the reality of what it takes to put a dog’s needs first. The structure, tools, and methods I teach are the same ones I practice every day. My goal is to help owners build confidence, clarity, and leadership so they can create a stronger bond and give their dogs the full, fulfilling lives they deserve.
