“ I Love Mindful Dog Co!! They helped our rescue better manage her anxieties as well as helped her make friends. We were able to get a second dog thanks to all the work they did with us and our girl. We thought she couldn't live w another dog but the two are inseparable now!! Hanna is super patient and takes a very gentle and slow pace w dogs, which helps to ensure it works long term! Forever indebted to her help. ”

“ Hanna and team are amazing! I am an industry professional who had known Hanna for a while now, and not only is she an incredible person but she is also great to her dogs. I trust Hanna whole heartedly. She is the go to Bully breed trainer in the GTA as well who I will refer my clients to if need be. Cannot say enough good things about Mindful Dog Co. ”

“ Hanna and her team are excellent! We’ve attended many group classes and Hanna has boarded my dog and I have nothing but good things to say. I think what makes this company stand out over a lot of other trainers is that they’re so compassionate and thoughtful about the handler’s experience and emotions throughout the training process as well as the dogs. We love MDC!! ”

“ The Mindful Dog training methods have supported myself and my dog who manages reactivity. It has been such a safe and non judgmental environment to learn and train in. They meet you where you and your dog are at. It’s been challenging and rewarding to be apart of this community. ”

- Aaron Manhas

“ I have been working with Hanna for over 6 months in several capacities. We hired her to help train our daycare staff to keep our clients dogs happy and safe. I then reccomended her to a rescue I work with and she has become a very trusted and valuable asset to the rescue and a great support for our foster dogs.

Thank you Hanna for all of your help! ”

“ We left our 9 month old Great Dane pup with Hanna, for a week long of Board & Train. Barkley has only been back with us for over a day but we’ve already noticed a major improvement! She settles in her bed and crate very easily, doesn’t whine or bark while we’re eating, walks on a looser leash and slept in her crate all night without whining. We would highly recommend Hanna. She is calm, confident and very easy to connect with. ”

“ I feel comfortable with the trainers which in turn helps my relationship with my dog evolve. Even with the challenging behaviours I work with they’ve made training fun too at certain sessions. Everyone there understands reactivity so you’ll never feel shamed or expected to be perfect. I’m so grateful to be apart of the Mindful dog community and have seen so much progress on my dog journey with their help.

Highly recommend them! See you at training hopefully;)

Some pics are from community training sessions which make it more accessible for us. I was nervous for group classes but it’s encouraging to see others working through behaviours with their dogs. It’s a very bonding experience in group classes. Don’t be intimidated!

“Hanna helped us with our new rescue who was incredibly leash reactive. She could see right away we did not have a bad dog, just a dog who was unsure of his place in our hierarchy. Her calm confident approach helped us to understand end execute the necessary changes to our behaviour, which lead to changes in his behaviour. She is amazing!! ”

“ Hanna is AMAZING. As first time puppy owners, we were overwhelmed with just dealing with day to day training needs. Thor is a great dog to begin with, but as his owners, we needed to understand Thor's needs in order to help him grow into an even better dog. We were having a few issues with him not liking his crate, and we were unable to leave him alone at home without barking for hours. Enter Hanna. Thor went to Board and Train for three weeks. She taught him how to love his crate, and taught us how to be proficient leaders for Thor. Thor came back a different dog (in a good way!). He relaxes a lot more, looks to us for guidance, and is building a solid foundation with us every single day. We cannot be happier with Hanna's guidance. She is patient, knowledgeable, and flexible. She shows GENUINE care for Thor and us, and is always available for support. We've had a few follow ups with her already, and every time we meet, Thor becomes better and better. We cannot recommend Hanna enough to anyone and everyone who really wants to understand their dog. She's amazing at what she does! (oh, and she has a super cute pack to boot! Thor learned so much from her pack as well!) ”

“ Hanna has not only helped us rehab our anxious rescue dog, but has truly helped us understand her behaviour and her needs better. When I first reached out to Hanna we were frustrated with Roxie’s pulling, reactivity, and separation anxiety. Hanna helped us understand why Roxie felt the need to do these “unwanted behaviours” and what we needed to do to change them. We worked with Hanna on leash work, crate training, and proper socialization. We also boarded Roxie with Hanna while moving and I know she had the best time with her pack. Ultimately, she changed how we see our dog and helped us recognize the huge impact our behaviour, body language and energy has on dogs. Roxie is now thriving and we are so grateful to Hanna for her help. ”

“ Hanna came over to help me navigate a new foster relationship and she was so encouraging and kind. I can’t thank her enough for her insight and brilliance with dogs in general- and her know-how with my own new adopted rescue. ”
