About Mindful Training

Mindful Training is a dog training service based around teaching the pet parents how to be a mindful dog trainer for their own dog. We teach you basic obedience, troubleshoot any difficult behaviors, and practice with you all along the way. We also include daily training notes so you can refer back to our sessions at any point. We begin our service with a consultation at your residence (or remotely via webcam). The consult usually lasts 30min-1hr. The consult is used to discuss your goals, concerns, and answer all of your training and behavior questions. We then briefly discuss our modality, "how" we train. Lastly we discuss our logistics of service. If you decide our service is appropriate for you we can schedule a training session.

Toni with Mindful Training is amazing! I have a puppy and started training with Mindful Training about 3 or 4 months ago. This is one on one training and it is very reasonable. But I was not looking for cheap I wanted good solid training. This is my 5th dog and I have trained all of them either on my own or with a trainer. Dogs are so much happier when they know what you want. My little guy is a handful and I was not getting far on my own with him. In steps Toni with Mindful Training and every thing changes. Immediately he responds to Toni. She is kind and clear with him. Of course I was really the one being trained! She worked with me on being "mindful" about what I was doing, how my boy was perceiving me and what he was teaching me about myself. My puppy is still a puppy and full of energy and exhausting but we are doing so much better together now. I now have Toni come over once or twice a week to take him on a training walk. He adores her! In fact my other dog and my cat are crazy about her as well. The training walks help burn off some of his never ending energy and keep his new skills sharp. Also, when I am having an issue Toni is a text away! She has helped me numerous times with an idea or a reminder of techniques. I highly recommend Mindful Training! PS Both my brother and sister use Mindful Training and we have very different dogs as far as personality and age. They recommended Mindful Training to me and we all have happy dogs.

Mindful Training is great! Both Toni and her husband really work with you according to your needs and challenges. With only a few session we were able to teach our pup a few things. It doesn't happen over night, and it's a lot of homework for owners, but that's what it's all about! I appreciate their patience, collaboration, and positive energy. Would definitely recommend!

Mindful Training LLC doesn't just focus on results, they focus on strengthening your pet's confidence and security. Our pup was not a good listener and did not get along with other dogs before we started working with Toni and Josh. Now, our dog follows commands and is unbothered by other animals in close proximity. It's not a miracle...it's Mindful Training! Toni was our main trainer and she is easy-going, effective, friendly and cares about you and your dog. Our pup is completely transformed and we are incredibly grateful we ran across a Mindful Training referral on our community website. Highly recommend and will use again as we expand our pet family.

Joshua did an excellent job helping us learn some new skills to help our dog, who is very reactive and aggressive toward new visitors to our home. He was patient and thorough, and he provided great written follow-up notes to his visits to highlight what we worked on and what to continue to practice.

Josh is an amazing trainer and helped my pup Botan and me a ton! My pup was having some struggles with commands and independence, and I am a first time dog owner, so I was clueless. Josh came in and taught us ways to introduce new commands and reward good behavior. he also has great recommendations for toys, treats, and more! I love his approach and I recommend this company to everyone!
