Mindful Training

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.

We adopted two dogs in less than a month with vastly different personality needs, and Joshua was able to help us with individualized training for each of them. Artemis is very puppy-ish and people-shy, and Bo Dai is bold and liked to resource guard. Joshua was able to help us bring them both into a comfortable rhythm at home, mostly by teaching my husband and me how best to relate to them. We had two wonderful dogs previously (one passed from cancer, the other lived to a ripe old age), and we still learned so much from Joshua. He's patient, brings a gentle energy, and listens well before offering solutions, so the solutions are effective. Artemis was scared to go in the crate and not particularly food-motivated, and Joshua helped us over a few sessions to problem-solve how to get her to e

As first time puppy parents, Joshua helped to empower us as leaders for our little boy. He was patient, passionate, timely, and everything we could want in a trainer. Through our six at-home sessions, Joshua trained us to train our rambunctious teenage golden retriever to deter unwanted behaviors like jumping and countersurfing, reinforce good behaviors like place and heel, and conquer some fears like walking outside on the scary streets (he would hardly step foot out of the front door before Joshua). In a nutshell, Joshua gave us the confidence and knowledge to know we are going to raise a good little citizen. The changes don’t happen overnight, but we’ve made tremendous progress with our pup by continuously reinforcing what Joshua taught us. Thank you, Joshua!

We had a great experience working with Josh for Zuko's training. He really took the time to understand our goals and tailored the training to fit our dog's needs. Josh has excellent communication skills, and he listens carefully to ensure that all our concerns were addressed. Thanks to his thoughtful approach, we've made great progress with Zuko, and we're confident in continuing the training on our own. Highly recommend!

Where to start with Mindful Training ATX... Since they started training my little Daisy, I have noticed significant changes in not only her attitude but mine as well. We have learned so much from Toni and Josh on a deeper level and I can literally communicate with my Dog non-verbally. This experience has been so rewarding and I am so excited to continue to learn and grow with Daisy and the incredible team at MT ATX <3 100000/10, highly recommend. PS: Love the photos they send with the training walk notes!!
