At Mindful Paws, I teach a mindful, compassionate approach to help pets and their owners overcome behavioural challenges and build deeper, trusting relationships.

From chaos to calm. 🧘‍♂️✨

Before the Trust Technique®, a view like this would have meant nonstop barking and high thinking levels. Today? Just two beautiful collies choosing peace, mindfully regarding their goat neighbors, and checking in with perfect timing. 🐏🐾❤️

Understanding and Kindness builds relationships where true cooperation happens without force or dominance. I am so grateful to have learned how to help people and their animals with the Trust Technique. 💞

"Why isn't my puppy listening to me?!" 🐾

As a new Puppy Parent, you probably feel like your pup just isn’t Listening or Cooperating.

They Nip, they Chew they Jump all over you, they Pull on the lead.

This can turn daily life into an exhausting power struggle rather than the joyful experience you wanted.

Our Puppy program helps you move Beyond the Power Struggle and Develop a Willing, Well behaved Pup.

At Mindful Paws, we do things differently. We focus on:

• 🤝 True Cooperation: We don't force or command. We create an environment where your puppy wants to learn alongside you, turning training into a joyful, shared experience.

• ✨A Listening State: We show you how to bring your puppy into a calm frame of mind where they can actually process what you're asking, rather than acting on high-arousal impulses.

• 🤝Willingness: We build a relationship where you genuinely enjoy teaching, and your puppy feels safe, confident, and eager to participate.

• 🐕 Safe, Small-Group Socialization (No Chaos, No Fear): Many puppy parents think socialization means exposing their pup to as many dogs as possible, as fast as possible. But loud, crowded classes often lead to over-stimulation, fear, or unwanted behaviours.

Our 10-Week Journey Together:
💻 Weeks 1-2 (Online via Zoom): We build your skills and a calm foundation right in your living room, where you and your puppy are most relaxed.

🌲 Weeks 3-10 (In-Person): We meet at the quiet Glenasmole Community Centre to practice Loose-Lead Walking, Cooperative Care, Reliable Recall and Socialization Skills.

You also get direct access to our private WhatsApp community group for video feedback and 1-on-1 guidance from me between sessions. You are never left to figure it out alone.

Only 4 spots available! You can read more about our program and secure one of our exclusive spots here:

IF PUPPY TRAINING FEELS LIKE A BATTLE... YOU'RE NOT ALONE. 🐾

Are you finding that your new puppy just isn’t listening?🙉

Are you struggling with constant chewing, nipping, jumping or exhausting pulling on the lead?

Do you find yourself having to wrestle your pup just to get their harness on?

When these things happen, we are often told to "be dominant" and force them to comply. But deep down, removing your puppy's willingness to achieve an outcome doesn’t feel good.

It turns your relationship into a struggle.

When we move beyond traditional obedience and focus on True Cooperation and a calm Listening State, the relationship changes.

There is a kinder, more joyful way. ✨

Join our 10-Week Foundational Program (Starting Sunday, June 7th).

This unique program is designed to move beyond traditional obedience and create True Cooperation.

Instead of shouting commands or forcing behaviours, we guide your puppy into a calm, listening state.

We nurture their willingness to learn with you, not just comply.

The end result? A puppy who wants to cooperate with you, and a process that you will genuinely enjoy.

💻 WEEKS 1-2 (Online Zoom): Building a calm mindset and cooperative foundation right in your living room, where your puppy is most relaxed.

🌲 WEEKS 3-10 (In-Person): Meeting at the quiet Glenasmole Community Centre to practice walking nicely on a Loose Lead, Cooperative Care, Reliable Recall and Safe Socialization.

Our community is strictly limited to 4 families to ensure 1:1 support, so spots fill up quickly.

Small groups. Big support. Lasting connections. 🏔️
