Mindful Training

Mindful Training is a great at-home option at a reasonable price. Josh was attentive, adaptable, and a highly skilled trainer. We recently completed an 8-week training package for our new rescue and our resident older dog, and the results have been great! What we appreciated most was the sheer flexibility of the program. He truly met our dogs where they were, letting us pivot and prioritize new goals as they came up during the process. He was also incredibly accommodating and flexible with our busy schedule. The progress has been amazing. Our rescue is now successfully crate trained, has built so much confidence overcoming separation anxiety, and has improved greatly on basic commands. Meanwhile, our older dog got some much-needed leash practice and reactivity training. We even got to dip our toes into some fun agility basics! As a bonus, the detailed notes he provided for the shaping process were invaluable, and his vetted recommendations for treats and training products saved us a ton of time cross-shopping.

I adopted Cooper a few months ago, who came with a host of fears and anxieties around all kinds of things - leash reactive, fearful of people, generally nervous around other dogs. Joshua was so kind, calm, and patient, and truly equipped me with everything I needed to work with Cooper's needs and build his confidence. I was constantly so impressed with everything Joshua remembered and customized to Cooper, I really can't say enough about how diligent he was and how much his positive methods and general approach to dogs helped us!! Cooper has made SO much progress in the last month of working together, he has come out of his shell so much and is becoming a playful, quirky, comfortable, confident dog who is such a joy. I'm so grateful we got connected with Joshua, he is a wealth of information and experience!! Would absolutely recommend to anybody!

Highly recommend Josh! I adopted a rescud dog and needed some help with his reactivity, barking and leash pulling. He did an amazing job helping Captain with leash pulling and addressing parts of his reactivity. We saw noticeable improvement in a short period of time, especially during walks. The techniques were easy to understand and apply in real-life situations, and the training was always calm, patient, and effective. This training truly improved both Captain’s behavior and my confidence as a handler. I couldn’t be happier with the results.

I worked with Toni to help train my puppy and the results were amazing!!! I never thought my puppy would make so much progress. I had no idea what to expect from just a few sessions. I never thought my puppy would listen to any commands outside, but now she is super attentive and listens to me outside even with a lot of distractions! Toni is amazing!!!! HIGHLY recommend to give her a try if your struggling or just need some help!
