MindfulPups

Dina and Mindful Pups have been an incredible resource, and I’m so grateful we found them right in our neighborhood. I have a 7-year-old rescue Border Collie, Rocky, and over the years I’ve worked with many trainers — Dina is truly one of the best. She immediately honed in on our specific challenges and worked closely with us to help Rocky get what he needed and to help us reach our goals together. Her approach is thoughtful, intuitive, and deeply personalized. Dina takes an individual approach to every dog and human she works with, making sure both are set up for success. There’s no one-size-fits-all protocol. She recognizes that every dog and situation is different. Her focus on play, confidence-building, and strengthening the human-dog relationship strikes the perfect balance between

Dina & Mindful Pups are the best. I have a puppy named Billie and don’t know what the heck I’m doing. I’m a first time dog owner. I thought I’d have a chihuahua, instead I have a hound dog. Alas. Anyways Dina is no joke. She will put your mind at ease. She will show you tangible things you can do with your doggo to make your relationship better / happier. She’ll encourage play. It’s only been two weeks since we had a 1 on 1 visit with her but I can already see a change in Billie’s behavior / confidence. 10 out of 10, great dog trainer, will be hitting her up again.

I needed a miracle... I'm in California. Dina and MindfulPups is in New Jersey. It didn't matter!!! Through emails, phone calls, and amazing training videos, Dina and her fabulous staff instructed me in how to get my new rescue dog to be non-reactive to people. Ginger, my Chihuahua whippet mix, had been abused as a very young puppy. While she loves every single dog she has ever met (no matter how big or small, young or old), and is a pro at pulling gogs out of their shells and getting them to do zoomies, with PEOPLE, she would always stand 20 to 30 feet away, full hackles up, and would bark non-stop at them. Now, Ginger is basically aloof with people - she just ignores them! And, she's already gotten close with other of my family members. MindfulPups is extraordinarily organized, they empl

My new pup has been thriving with the great training at Mindful Pups. They've helped him work through issues with the crate and he's been doing great at socializing with other dogs and learning basic skills. Dina and the Mindful team are great at communicating, transparent with any issues, and obviously care so much about the dogs and community they have built. I'm sure I'll have a pup ready for the challenges of the busy anxieties of NYC.

Dina, Jasmin and Fiona (and many more who have worked with Bean) have helped shape him into a more confident, relaxed and well rounded pup. I also love seeing my dog on their social media! They do a great job posting so you feel included in the fun.
