Why Choose Mindful Paws?

When you work with Mindful Paws, you’ll benefit from:
A key focus of my training is empowering you to understand your dog’s behaviour. By learning why your dog acts a certain way and how to respond, you’ll gain the tools and confidence to address future challenges while maintaining a loving, respectful bond.
My Background
After graduating from university, I spent ten years as a paediatric nurse in the NHS. Nursing taught me invaluable skills, including compassionate communication and patience—qualities that naturally carry over to dog training.
My true passion, however, has always been helping dogs! I began my journey in the dog training world by working with Assistance Dogs UK, where I trained dogs to perform life-changing roles for their owners and supported clients in caring for their incredible service dogs.
I later moved to a large UK rescue centre, where I rehabilitated and trained hundreds of dogs, many of whom faced significant behavioural challenges.
Today, my mission is to help dog guardians and their dogs build stronger bonds and lead happier lives through positive, force-free training. I understand how overwhelming behavioural issues can feel, and I’m here to provide the guidance and support you need.
