Mindful Adventure Dog Academy LLC is a home-based dog training business located in Auburn, WA, serving the Greater Seattle area. They specialize in puppy raising, early intervention, behavior modification, and aggression rehabilitation for dogs with serious issues like human/dog aggression, separation anxiety, leash reactivity, and resource guarding. Their approach combines dog training with human leadership coaching, personal development, and outdoor adventure therapy to help owners and dogs coexist peacefully. They offer board and train programs, structured boarding, day training, and in-home coaching. The founder, JeeHae Choe, is a former Marine with personal experience overcoming trauma through dog training and has built a reputation for transforming both dogs and their owners. They emphasize accountability, boundaries, and lifelong growth, positioning themselves as a supportive “tribe” for dog owners. Additional services include structured boarding, daycare, and service dog training for psychiatric and light mobility needs.

They require a free 15-minute discovery call and a new client consultation before enrollment. Their programs are intensive, customized, and non-refundable, with full payment due before drop-off. They serve clients who are committed to long-term behavioral change and are willing to participate actively in their dog’s training journey.

They also offer a Rockstar Puppy Raising program for new puppy owners and a 24–36 month Service Dog Training program for clients with specific needs, including temperament evaluations for personal dogs.

Their training philosophy centers on communication, leadership, and real-world application—not just obedience commands.

They are not a traditional obedience school; they focus on deep behavioral rehabilitation and lifestyle transformation for both dog and owner.
