Satisfied Owners. Happy Dogs.
Patricia gave my fiancé and I the confidence to have our pup around our baby. Through her guidance and resources we are confident with all baby/pup interactions. After the session Patricia checked in multiple times to see how we were going and made sure we knew to ask if we needed more support. I would 110% seek support from Patricia in the future if we need it.

Patricia is amazing!! Being first time dog owners, we needed a lot of guidance to help our boy through the adolescent stage and we couldn't have asked for a better trainer! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Patricia to anyone :)

Patricia is awesome, she has really helped us understand our pup better. we have used the tools and techniques she has taught us and we have had some awesome results. we have a rescue pup who is 1 years old who is reactive on the lead, overprotective and insecure. we have been able to work through these together and help make Kobe the confident dog he is meant to be!
Patricia is so lovely, bubbly and approachable and we wouldn't want to go with anyone else. I would highly recommend her. can't wait for more sessions !! 11/10

Patricia is truly an outstanding trainer, one of New Zealand's best. She is compassionate, knowledgable, and determined to see your dog thrive! After just one consultation with Patricia we had incredible breakthrough with our puppy's behaviour. 100% recommend Dog Minds! (2020)

Patricia is passionate, knowledgeable and has excellent communication skills with both dogs and humans. In our first session together she gave me so many useful tips and strategies, all of which are proving to be really valuable. I can't recommend Dog Minds highly enough.

We engaged Patricia to help introduce some positive behaviours with our new puppy Monty. Patricia is super passionate about dogs and was very experienced with Monty given his young age. The tools and tips she suggested have worked perfectly. Monty quickly learnt positive behaviours and responded quickly to his training. Patricia was happy to offer advise post our six week programme and Monty remains a very well behaved puppy. We would highly recommend Patricia and her services. (2019)
