Calm Mind Canine

An exclusive, independent partner at Massanutten Resort shares their mission and offerings -

Calm Mind Canine's mission is to help create a solid and lasting bond between people and their canine companions by educating them on essential leadership and handling skills necessary for a loving and lasting relationship with their canine companion. Danielle & Neal's unique approach to dog training combines intuition with practical skills designed to fit holistically into one's daily life. These principles come from personal experience with their pet companions, eventually leading them to work with rescues, friends, family, and clients. We are dedicated to creating lifelong, heart-centered connections with our pet companions and those who choose to work with us at Calm Mind Canine. It would be our pleasure to work with you and your beloved pet companion! Our goal is simple: to increase the quality of life between people and their dogs. At the same time, we provide a loving and enriching environment to learn and empower the lives of our clients and our furry clientele.
