At Pawminded, we only use LIMA principle; the least intrusive and minimally aversive training methods.
Our goal is to transform dog owners into their dog’s favorite trainer,
using a reward-based system that includes: praise, play, treats and toys.
The Pawminded core values align with the uptrend in positive and holistic approaches in
dog ownership because we love dogs as much as you do .
Our methods empower owners to pawsitively integrate dogs into their
lives and help dogs stay in their forever homes.
OUR MISSION
Dogs and humans have been companions for thousands of years. We
deserve to make each other happy. Yet, in the US alone, 3.3 million dogs
are without forever homes. Many more are surrendered annually by
their humans for a variety of reasons. These stats and our professional
experience within the dog welfare community prove that people need an
accessible and professionally-vetted resource to better prepare them to
be confident dog owners. Our goal is to engage, train and save because
it is our business to create a win-win situation for dogs and humans.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
Where do I even begin? Ela at Pawminded is an absolute saint. We had Ela spend a week with our little 15 week old Nugget and he came home a totally different pup. In a week he learned to socialize, walk on a leash, basic commands and was all around more confident. Prior to Ela working with Nugget, we couldn’t even get him out of the house to walk without hesitation. I can’t say enough great things about Ela except Nugget will be seeing her again! If you have a dog or pup, please invest in Ela and Pawminded. It’s the best thing we did this year 🙂
Ela has been a great and friendly trainer for my amazing but stubborn English Bulldog rescue. After having trouble getting him to stop doing things like sitting in the middle of the street, she guided me toward new techniques for walking him, as well as new strategies for teaching him commands. Highly recommend her services!
Thank You pawminded for training my pup as much as you did. Raine is now better on the leash, fully potty trained, more social, and even knows some tricks. Although I missed my dog, Pawminded sent me updates everyday to let me know how my pup was improving and what areas she needed to work with. I appreciate everything you guys did and for making my life as a furmom so much easier!
