Struggling with Your Dog’s Behavior?
Let’s Fix It – The Right Way!
Is your dog’s aggression, anxiety, excessive barking, resource guarding, or reactivity making life stressful? Behavioral challenges can be overwhelming, frustrating, and even isolating—but you don’t have to navigate them alone.
At Mindfulness4dogs, Darran Rowe, Clinical Animal Behaviourist, specializes in resolving complex behavioral issues using science-backed, force-free methods. We NEVER USE shock collars, punishment, or outdated training techniques—instead, we focus on understanding the root cause of the behavior and helping your dog build confidence, trust, and emotional stability.
If your dog is struggling with separation anxiety, fear-based behaviors, unpredictable aggression, or reactivity, we create a tailored behavior plan designed for long-term success, not quick fixes.
We offer private in-home behavioral consultations across Waikato and Taranaki, as well as sessions at our purpose-built training centre just outside Stratford. Not in these areas? No problem! Our online behavioral consultations provide expert guidance no matter where you are in New Zealand or worldwide.
Compassionate, ethical, and effective—because every dog deserves to be understood. Let’s work together to help your dog feel calmer, happier, and more secure.
Let’s turn frustration into success and help your dog become the companion you’ve always wanted.

Step 1 – Tell Us About Your Dog
My sister and I took our Labrador to see Darran for 2x 1-1 lessons to help with lead walking and nervousness towards dogs. Rosie was immediately at ease with Darran which is very unusual for her! Darran’s positive techniques and his calm manner instantly worked with Rosie. He explained his techniques and reasoning for them really clearly which made it easy for us to understand and replicate at home. We saw Rosie come along in leaps and bounds after just one lesson and we already feel much more confident when out with her. Can’t wait for our 2nd lesson. Would highly recommend Mindfulness4Dogs! Thanks Darran
