Experience Sydney's best Canine Coach - a real Psychologist delivering excellence in Canine Coaching.
Hello Fur Parents,
Welcome to Pawsitive Mindset
Every dog irrespective of size, age or breed, has the capability to be an awesome dog and an amazing companion. We specialise in getting the best out of your dog by using the principles of Positive Psychology in our canine coaching approach.
We provide 1 on 1 coaching at your home
We come to you. It's important for you and your dog to receive the service you need in a comfortable and familiar environment - your own home. It also lets us assess you and your dog's needs by looking at the physical and psychological environment of your dog.
There's no such thing as a 'bad dog'
Most bad or 'naughty' dog behaviour is due to your dog being in the wrong mindset
Most dog training methods fail because it only addresses the physical behaviour, and not the actual mental state that is causing the behaviour - dealing with the Psychological state the dog is in leading up to, during and after the problem behaviour is the only real way you can extinguish problem bahaviours consistently, and long term. Momentarily distracting a dog with treats or simply redirecting the dog's attention almost never extinguishes the problem behaviour and often simply masks the behaviour for a while, or you will need to rely on treats forever (which means your dog listens to the treats - and not you), or the problem behaviour can actually get worse.
Let's Start!
Initial Consultation
At the Initial Consultation we'll go through a thorough assessment of your dog. We'll discuss your dog's history, diet and exercise routines, current issues, specific needs and your goals that you want to achieve with your dog. We'll tailor a specific plan for you. and show you exactly what to do to achieve results.
We empower you on all of these issues

The good news is, it's something that can be overcome with the right strategy. Don't suffer it, we can help.

Cafe Training
Leash Reactivity and Aggression
Cafe Training
Don't suffer the social humiliation of your dog reacting badly to other people, dogs or animals at the cafe. The goal is for you to be able to sip your latte and watch the world go by with your dog quietly relaxing at your feet. Reactivity at the cafe is symptomatic of other problems but the good news is your dog can learn to enjoy going to the cafe!
Anxious Dogs

Is your dog anxious? Do they make high pitched noises, bark excessively or even show aggression towards other people or dogs? A dog that's anxious might show it in many different ways, but anxiety doesn't have to be a part of your dog's life.

Destructive Behaviours

Find out what the underlying cause is, and put a stop to destructive behaviours. Your dog deserves to be in a happy, calm and relaxed mindset.
Out of Control Dogs
Children and Dogs Issues
Destructive Behaviours
Is your dog out of control? Dog's that jump on people, show aggression towards people and other dogs, mouthing and biting shouldn't be tolerated. When your dog doesn't listen, causes complaints from your neighbours and has become too much to handle, it's time to change things. Improve your dog's mindset and behaviour, and in return, you'll have the relationship with your dog that you always wanted.

Teaching your kids how to approach, play with and respond to their puppies and dogs is essential for a safe and happy family life.
