BEING A DOG PARENT CAN BE CHALLENGING…
Struggling With Your Dog’s Behaviour?
You’re not alone! While behavioural issues don’t mean your dog is “bad” or “naughty,” these issues can become overwhelming and stressful without the right approach.
The good news is that one-to-one positive dog training is the best way to tackle behaviour issues. Training takes place in the comfort of your own home (or a nearby walking spot,) so we can address your dog’s problem behaviours where they typically occur. All sessions are also completely bespoke and personalised to your dog and family situation.
Overcome Your Dog’s Problems Using Positive Dog Training Techniques
Mindful Paws only teaches positive and force-free dog training techniques.
Aside from helping you to build a strong bond with your dog, positive training is the most effective way to address behavioural issues, such as:
Destructive behaviours
Excessive barking and vocalisation
Jumping up
Stealing items and food
Many more behavioural issues!

All Mindful Paws training focuses on positive, force-free methods. These techniques get lasting results while building a loving bond with your dog. I’ll also empower you with the knowledge to communicate effectively with your dog and manage any future issues.

Client Feedback
“Rebecca is incredible!!! Her sessions were so helpful and she has helped so much with our very anxious dog, who is now much more content.
Highly recommend Rebecca to any dog owner in need of some advice, support and expertise!!!!”
KAT & REGGIE
“We reached out to Rebecca for help with our cockapoo who was very reactive, barking, howling and snappy. Rebecca taught us techniques to help him both in the home and out on walks. He is doing really well, and after each visit Rebecca reviewed Benji’s progress and gave us a written report. She offers ongoing support, it’s so reassuring to know that she is always happy to help if we have any further questions!”
SANDRA & BENJI
“Rebecca has been absolutely incredible. She not only made us feel at ease but was also so positive with our difficult beagle who other trainers said can’t be trained. Thanks to Rebecca we are now confident in letting our beagle off the lead and she is so much better walking on the lead too. We can’t recommend her enough!!”

Frequently Asked Questions
After contacting Mindful Paws using the form above, I’ll get in touch so you can schedule a discovery call at a time of your choosing. During the 15-minute call, we’ll discuss your dog’s issues, how Mindful Paws training works, and the service options that might work best for your dog. You can also ask any questions you like about my training process or services.
Absolutely! All dogs are suitable for Mindful Paws training, including rescue dogs, puppies, senior dogs, dogs with reactivity issues, and large breeds. If you have questions about how training your dog with Mindful Paws would work, feel free to get in touch using the form above.
As much as I would love to resolve every training issue in a single session, this isn’t a realistic claim – although improvements can often happen quicker than you might expect. Changing dog behaviour takes time and consistency, so your dog’s results depend on the severity of the behaviour, how long the dog has been practising it, and your commitment to your dog’s progress.
For some dogs, the training process can be a few weeks, while others need months to show improvements. This is why my goal is to teach clients the tools to become an expert in their own dog’s behaviour, so they can continue training and management outside of one-to-one sessions.
Mindful Paws Dog Training is currently available in Surrey and the surrounding areas. Training takes place in your home, and I can travel to towns such as: Farnham, Guildford, Godalming, Woking, Ash/Ash Vale, Farnborough, Aldershot, Bracknell, Church Crookham, Camberley and nearby towns.
I also offer online video sessions for dog guardians not in my training area.
I’m an accredited member of the IMDT (Institute of Modern Dog Trainers) with over eight years of experience training thousands of dogs.
I’m also a Certified Separation Anxiety Pro Behaviour Consultant, qualified trainer with Assistance Dogs UK, and a specialist in rescue dogs, having helped train and rehome hundreds of dogs in a major UK rescue centre. Before starting Mindful Paws, I also worked as a trainer for Guide Dogs.
My working training hours are Monday-Friday 9am – 6:00pm. I don’t currently run client sessions at the weekend.
Mindful Paws only uses positive and force-free techniques. These ethical methods ensure you maintain a wonderful bond with your dog, while overcoming their behavioural issues. I never use or recommend training methods that rely on fear or pain.
Absolutely! It’s important that everyone in the household is consistent with your dog’s training and care, so all family members can be involved in the training sessions.
Most training sessions take place at the client’s home. This is so we can discuss your dog in detail and train new behaviours without distractions. If there are behaviours to work on outside, such as reactivity or poor recall, we can also incorporate local walks into our sessions when your dog is ready.
One-to-one training with Mindful Paws is tailored to your dog’s unique needs and personality, making it more effective for specific behavioural challenges. While classes can be wonderful for socialisation or learning common cues (such as sit and stay,) they are less suitable for overcoming behavioural issues.
Unlike group classes, training sessions also take place in your home or familiar environments, where problem behaviours often occur.
