Why dog owners choose us
Calm care that puts your dog first
We keep groups small, spaces wide open, and every day low-stress — because a happy dog is a calm, well-socialised dog.
01
Calm, low-stress days
Small supervised groups and plenty of space mean no overwhelm — just safe play, rest and gentle socialising at your dog's pace.
02
Acres of secure paddock
Fully fenced Taranaki paddocks give your dog room to run, sniff and explore — perfect for reactive dogs needing private off-lead time.
03

We're Stratford locals who treat every dog like our own. You'll get real updates and the peace of mind that your mate is in safe hands.

Happy tails
Trusted by Taranaki dog owners
"Our anxious rescue used to hate being left. Now he runs to the gate at Mindfulpaws. The small groups make all the difference."
Sarah M.Stratford
"The private paddock is a lifesaver for our reactive collie. Finally a safe place to let her run off-lead. Booking is so easy too."
James T.Eltham
"Genuinely caring people. My pup comes home happy and tired every time. Couldn't recommend Mindfulpaws more highly to Hawera locals."
