Although Mindful Mutts is relatively new, we've been participating in the North East Derbyshire dog training neutral walks since July 2024, and Ally has been professional and supportive from the start. She's assisted us with Willow in so many ways, including walking calmly with other dogs on lead, existing in a group with other dogs, settling practice, and working on specific skills we need to build. More recently, we've joined Mindful Mutts' social walks and utilised the Paws & Relax days.

The social walks are well-structured, providing opportunities for learning each time. Ally and Otis are friendly faces ready to help us through anything we might be struggling with on the day.

We’ve found the Paws & Relax days incredibly helpful. It’s been a struggle to find trustworthy care for Willow, but I know that when we send her to Ally, her needs are met, and she gets the downtime her fizzy brain requires. For the first day, Ally kept us updated, which greatly eased my worried dog mum brain! Each time, Willow has returned home satisfied and happy, and we will definitely continue using the service going forward. If you’re in the area or willing to travel, I highly recommend the neutral walks, social walks, and Paws & Relax offers from Mindful Mutts!
