Darran came to see my partner and I and our 11 month old Labrador to work through some anxieties and he was great , we made so much progress on the first visit and will definitely be having more sessions

Great sessions we are having. Thanks Darran Its actually confirmed for me that we have been on the right track but its also helped us to see what hasn’t been helpful in our approach so we can learn some different techniques to enhance our joy of owning a puppy. Glad we are doing this.

I highly recommend Mindfulness4dogs, especially if you’re looking for a trainer who is very knowledgeable on dog behaviour and has a force-free, positive reinforcement based approach to training. Both my dog and I got lots out of our training with Darran. I really liked his calm, positive energy and my dog’s behaviour has significantly improved […]

We attended Darran’s puppy classes and received great insight into dog behaviour and how best to communicate with the dog, including recognising the signals unintentionally being sent to the dog. The training skills we learned have been easily transferred to training various behaviours and have been invaluable to raising a calm, obedient, and happy puppy. […]

Darran has been instrumental in helping us understand our Samoyed puppy. A bright, interested but somewhat stubborn dog, we just needed some key training techniques and boundaries set in place to help us enjoy a wonderful relationship with our new addition. The socialisation and teaching from Darran’s own dogs are a fantastic addition to the […]

I have found this really useful and think its great that we have a local group where people with dogs can come and talk to others and share tips and ideas. It really helps you feel less alone when you are dealing with problems with your own dogs and I enjoy reading other people’s posts […]

Great to go through the 1:1 training with Darran over the last six months. Some really good progress made with my young rottweiler. I learnt a lot about how the mindfulness training techniques work and now I feel much more confident in carrying on the journey on my own.

Thanks to Darran for coaching us through a challenging time. Love my Schnauzer Diego, but walking aswell as off lead at our favourite park became too stressful. Due to the coaching sessions I gained much more insight, techniques and we are slowly building confidence. I really appreciate the gentle, understanding, non controlling approach. Definitely would […]

My husband and I had our first session today with our 1 year old Staffy and we were mindblown by how unique, calm and not to mention effective our session was and what max and ourselves achieved in such a small time. 100% worth it. best experience ever! Darran is amazing at what he does.

Darren has a canny knack of getting right to the issue and pinpointing the behaviour that needs changing – then teaching you how. It means you can accomplish heaps in an hour or two that changes your relationship with your dog . Positively. Strongly recommend a one on one!
