Struggling with Your Dog’s Training? Transform Their Behavior Today!
Is your dog ignoring commands, pulling on the leash, not coming when called, or jumping up on guests? Struggling with overexcitement, poor impulse control, or a lack of focus? Training challenges can be frustrating, but with the right guidance, you can turn things around—and we’re here to help!
At Mindfulness4dogs, Darran Rowe, Clinical Animal Behaviourist, specializes in science-backed, force-free training methods to help dogs of all ages become calm, well-mannered companions. We never use shock collars, punishment, or harsh corrections—instead, we focus on clear communication, positive reinforcement, and real-life training techniques that work in everyday situations.
We can help with:
✅ Loose-leash walking—stop the pulling!
✅ Reliable recall—get your dog to come when called
✅ Impulse control—no more jumping up or stealing food
✅ Focusing around distractions—stay calm in busy environments
✅ Basic manners—sit, stay, settle, and polite greetings
Through private one-on-one training, we tailor each session to your dog’s specific needs, ensuring you see real progress. Whether you have a young dog in need of guidance or an older dog who needs better habits, we’ll help you build a strong, positive relationship based on trust and understanding.
We offer in-home training across Waikato and Taranaki, as well as sessions at our purpose-built training centre just outside Stratford. Not local? Our online training consultations bring expert coaching to you anywhere in New Zealand or worldwide.
No frustration, no force—just effective, positive training that works. Let’s unlock your dog’s full potential!
Let’s turn frustration into success and help your dog become the companion you’ve always wanted.

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
