MindfulPups

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.

I first heard about Mindful Pups through word of mouth (from three different people on the very first day we brought our puppy home) and I’m so grateful I did. As new dog owners with a very reactive pup, we were overwhelmed. We had watched many training videos, purchased a subscription to a training app, and it felt like most tips just didn’t seem to resonate with our pup, Piper. Booking our first few training sessions with Mindful Pups and Dina was genuinely life‑changing. I can’t imagine what the first few months with Piper would have felt like without her support. From day one, Dina’s kindness, warmth, and expertise put us completely at ease. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Dina immediately understood Piper, and offered guidance that made an instant difference. Piper absolutely adores her. Dina has helped us gain so much confidence as owners, and she has helped Piper build confidence in herself too. Two months in, and Piper is a completely different dog on the leash and barely barks compared to what she used to do. Dina never gives cookie‑cutter advice. She truly gets to know each dog, and it shows through her personalized feedback, videos, and the care she puts into addressing each pup’s unique needs. Any dog will have a better life with Dina and Mindful Pups in it. She is an incredible teacher with a depth of knowledge we trust wholeheartedly. Watch some of her instagram videos on any given day and even if your dog never has a training lesson, you will learn so much by just seeing what she’s working on with the other pups. Mindful Pups is the most supportive community, and we feel so lucky to have it in our backyard. Places like this are rare, and we’ll forever be grateful for everything Dina and the program have brought into our lives. We love Mindful Pups!
