Member since May 2020

We provide a unique experience for your pup in that we hike in different places each day and teach dogs to adapt to and thrive in the world around them regardless of stimuli and regardless of their age, size or temperament.

Step into the world of Mind of Dog, where exceptional dog care and training come together in a league of their own.

Here, furry companions discover the joys of play, swim, and adventure-filled hikes in novel landscapes. Our primary stomping ground is Morris County, New Jersey, yet on select weekends, we embark on exciting escapades with our overnight guests. From the heart of DC to the serene trails of Vermont, we've left our mark far and wide.

For over a decade, we've honed our distinctive, innovative methods, sharing them with families, trainers, and fellow pack walkers. Our expertise has attracted enthusiasts from across the nation and around the globe, including a pack walker now proudly operating in Singapore!

With thousands of dogs under our care, we've never turned away a soul due to temperament. All are embraced here, all empowered to become their finest selves. Our training emphasizes comprehensive socialization, daycare transforms into thrilling escapades, and overnight stays resemble a pioneering family experience.

What tip would you give pet parents for working with animals that you've learned as a pro?

They are just like people, in the good ways and the bad and need to be trained accordingly... do you give you significant other nothing but affection all the time, even when they do the wrong thing? Probably not... so the same goes for the dogs. You have to learn how to speak their language which they do spatially and show them what you want them to do and what you don’t want them to do.
