Mindful Canine

My dog is a 2 year old Shiba Inu, a breed known for being very strong willed and independent. I was not enjoying Lizzy, was very frustrated with her as we were having issues with boundaries, her listening, rushing the front door when people came over, etc… Brandi is an awesome trainer! She is very patient and kind with the dogs and very knowledgeable in how they think and react and what works and doesn’t work with different situations.. she takes the time to listen what the issues are and then work with the dog and owner until they both understand what their role is and how to do it. I’ve learned so much working with Brandi, and Lizzy has learned so much, and I am really enjoying my dog now. I would highly recommend Brandi and Mindful Canine!

Brandi is fantastic! She is extremely professional, patient, and knowledgeable. Our pup Cleo is a bit headstrong, and Brandi showed us how to work together to make her more calm and responsive. Working with Mindful Canine also made us realize how much Cleo likes having jobs to do. She loved her training sessions, and has become much more confident in just a few months. Through it all, Brandi has been her biggest supporter. We are so happy we chose Mindful Canine!

Brandi from Mindful Canine in Cedar City is excellent to work with. She is a lovely person with very clear instructions for her clients, and an impeccable training success record. When she works with a dog, she pours her heart into those sessions. She listens to the client's needs, works with where they are at, and sets a clear curriculum for them to be successful. Her communication is top notch, and she strives every day to be the best dog trainer in Cedar City. From the few years I have known her, she takes care of her business ethically and honestly, treats her clients like they are family, and has some of the most grit I have ever seen in the industry. I'm proud to call her my friend and colleague. The industry needs more like Brandi!

I can’t recommend Mindful Canine enough. Brandi was wonderful every step of the way. Thanks to her my dog is so much better behaved. He follows commands, I can walk with him without him pulling me down the street, he’s non reactive and is a kind puppy. She’s very professional, true to her word and helped me prevent problems. She provided resources and taught me how to better train puppy. Thank you so much, Brandi. I hope to see you again.

We cannot say enough good things about Brandi at Mindful Canine Dog Training! We came to her with our two pups who have very different challenges. Piper’s reactivity and Kaiya’s anxiety and fear made my partner and I feel like we were failing our pups before we met with Brandi. When we first met with Brandi, she approached each of our pups with so much patience, understanding, and skill which not only helped our pups anxiety, but it helped us as dog owners. For Piper, Brandi gave us clear, achievable strategies and tools to help manage her reactivity. Learning these tools and practicing them in real life scenarios taught us how to better support her in stressful situations. The difference has been incredible. With Kaiya, Brandi was gentle, encouraging, and completely in tune with her emotional needs. She showed us how to build Kaiya’s confidence without overwhelming her, and it has made such a positive impact on her overall happiness and sense of safety. We still have a long ways to go with Kaiya, but we are so grateful to have received the knowledge and skills from Brandi to help continue building her confidence. What really set Brandi apart to us is how well she teaches humans, too. She makes every step easy to understand and explains the reasoning behind each technique in a way that truly sticks. We left every session feeling more confident and better equipped. If you have dogs with big feelings or complex behavior challenges, Brandi is the trainer you want in your corner. She is an incredible dog trainer who truly cares about you and your dog’s success, and for that we are forever thankful. If you’re in need of a dog trainer, hire Brandi! You will not regret it!
