Dog Training in Blacktown

Paws Mindfully helps dogs and their humans in Blacktown to overcome behaviour struggles using effective force-free training that is easy to learn and fun to practice.

A lot of challenging behaviour can stem from anxiety, stress and of course rehearsal of that behaviours (what they do, they become). It can really push the limits of even the most patient person not knowing how to help their beloved dog and get some sanity back.

That’s where we come in!. We understand every dog and situation is different so we work with the dogs and humans’ individual needs to build real life transformations.  We achieve this by creating a personalised, easy to follow plan of action to set you and your dog up for success. Check out our range of training packages.

What we are NOT. We are not about “quick fixes” or using techniques or training tools that bring harm in any way to your dog that could ultimately create more behavioural problems down the track.  You can hear what our clients have to say about our force free training.

So if you are struggling and are ready to transform your dog get in touch with us today!

Dog training can be complicated. But it doesn’t have to be.  Your job is to play the games and implement our management strategies to get your dog owning dream…FINALLY.

“Emma from Paws Mindfully provides an exceptional service.

Her face to face training was conveyed in a thorough yet easy to digest way.

Her love for animals and passion for this field of work is wonderfully displayed in her sessions and follow up correspondence.

Thank you Emma”

Why Dog Guardians Love Our Training

"We have tried so many different techniques, over three years and none have worked or been as much fun!

Both of our dogs love the games and it has helped Ruby no end.

Less barking, calmer, more focused on us when she is nervous."

— Jude (fur parent)

“I am very grateful to have found Paws Mindfully, when I was seeking help with training Paddy to one day become my psychiatric assistance dog.

I was amazed at how much fun play-based training could be, especially with someone like Emma who is so caring and insightful. We've had great results from the training.
It was also important for me to connect with a trainer who would understand my lived experience with anxiety and be just as calm and patient with me, as with my Paddy. Thank you Emma”

— Lee (fur parent)
