Hi, I’m Brooke Greenberg, certified dog trainer and founder of Mind Body Paws. My work focuses on helping families better understand their dogs through modern, science-based, ethical training.

Every program is customized to the individual dog, creating clear communication and lasting behavioral change in a safe, supportive environment.

My own dogs, BBQ Chip and Gin, remind me daily how unique every dog truly is — and why thoughtful training strengthens the relationship between dogs and the people who love them.

Real progress, shared by families I’ve had the privilege to work with.

Diego, a Golden Retriever, confidently demonstrating a 'paws up' trick on a box, learned through a private in-home training session.

“What we’ve loved most about our lessons are the enrichment activities and all the practical advice Brooke shared. We feel like we understand Diego so much better now and can communicate with him more clearly.”

Fletcher, a Boykin Spaniel, showcasing a calm and composed 'sit' cue in front of his home, a result of dedicated private training.

“She [Brooke] took the time to listen to our needs & she didn’t push us into joining a program or committing to a package. Even before she first came to meet Fletcher she gave us some great advice on things to try working on.”
