​HOW AM I DIFFERENT?
With years in dog training & rescue, I see how mainstream training often overlooks the root causes of behaviour, focusing only on quick fixes. This approach can harm a dog’s emotional well-being and lead to bigger issues. I do things differently—prioritizing your dog’s emotional health to create lasting change. My method focuses on teaching dogs how to self-regulate without relying on distractions, treats, or corrections. By understanding their needs, I design personalized plans for both you and your dog, fostering better behavior and a stronger relationship.

MY PHILOSOPHY
At Dog Mindful, my philosophy is rooted in force-free, cooperative ways to connect and learn at both ends of the leash. Rather than prioritizing compliance and obedience, I focus on strengthening the relationship you share with your dog. Together, we explore what lies beyond traditional training—building trust, communication, and balance.
