Building Bonds, Inspiring Trust

At Mind Heart Dog Training, we focus on building trust and communication, empowering pet parents to connect with their dogs in meaningful ways. By using game-based training techniques, we cultivate a positive learning experience that fosters good behaviour and promotes a harmonious household. Together, we can nurture confident, joyful dogs who are eager to learn and thrive in their relationships with their humans.

Hi, I’m Yinna

I began my journey with dogs later in life, starting out by dog-sitting for a family member. This experience ignited my interest, which led me to volunteer in puppy raising and ultimately obtained a Certificate III in Dog Behaviour and Training from the National Dog Training Federation (NDTF). This, in turn, prompted me to take on a role with Assistance Dogs Australia, where I support volunteers in their puppy-raising efforts in Penrith, Blue Mountains and Lithgow. 

I am now offering private lessons to pet guardians and their dogs in the Blue Mountains.
