Founded and run by an experienced certified trainer, the business has been serving Sydney’s Lower North Shore since 2013, specialising in relationship-based, science-led training methods that go far beyond traditional obedience.

At The Mindful Dog, the focus is on building a deep, trusting bond between humans and dogs through compassionate, rewards-based techniques.

Owners are empowered with practical strategies to understand their dog’s behaviour and meet their unique needs.

Core Services Include:
– Mindful Puppy School – Small, age-specific group classes for puppies aged 8–16 weeks and 4–12 months, covering socialisation, life skills, and positive behaviour foundations.
– Private Coaching – One-on-one in-home or on-site sessions tailored to individual behaviour goals, including reactivity, fear, or separation anxiety.
– Separation Success Program – A structured plan to help dogs feel safe, relaxed, and independent when left alone.
– Loose Leash Walking Workshops – Step-by-step training to develop comfortable, cooperative walking skills in various environments.

Training is grounded in the Family Dog Mediation® model and L.E.G.S.® Applied Ethology framework, ensuring that methods are ethical, effective, and considerate of each dog’s lifestyle, environment, genetics, and learning history. With small group sizes, personalised attention, and a calm, supportive environment, every puppy and owner receives the tools they need for long-term success.
