Struggling with Your Puppy’s Behavior? Get Expert Help!
Raising a puppy should be exciting and rewarding—but when you’re dealing with toilet training accidents, excessive biting, constant barking, or destructive chewing, it can quickly become stressful and exhausting. If your puppy’s behavior feels overwhelming, you’re not alone—and we’re here to help!
At Mindfulness4dogs, Darran Rowe, Clinical Animal Behaviourist, specializes in puppy training and early behavioral development, using science-backed, force-free methods to set your puppy up for lifelong success. We never use shock collars, punishment, or outdated training techniques—instead, we focus on positive reinforcement, confidence building, and clear communication to help your puppy grow into a well-mannered, happy companion.
We can help with:
✅ Toilet training & crate training
✅ Puppy biting & chewing
✅ Jumping up & barking
✅ Socialization & confidence building
✅ Early signs of fear, reactivity, or separation anxiety
Through private one-on-one consultations, we’ll guide you through the crucial early months of puppyhood, helping you prevent future behavioral problems before they start. Our training lays the foundations for a calm, confident, and well-behaved adult dog. We offer in-home puppy training 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 puppy training consultations provide expert guidance no matter where you are in New Zealand or worldwide.
Let’s make puppyhood stress-free and enjoyable for both of you!

Step 1 – Tell Us About Your Puppy
We brought a new pup into our home and our 9 year old dog was not happy, so much so we thought we would have to re-home the pup. Darran helped us understand the dynamics between the two and worked with us to settle the situation. We honestly wouldn’t have got there without his help.
