Where mindful living meets the wisdom of dogs
At Teal Paws, we believe that some of life’s greatest teachers walk on four legs. Dogs embody the wisdom of living fully in the present moment. They don’t dwell on the past or worry about what’s ahead — instead, they greet each moment with open-hearted curiosity, unconditional love, and joyful awareness. Whether they’re nudging us for a walk, curling up beside us, or greeting us like we’re the best part of their day (because we are), dogs remind us what it means to be — not just do. Their dog wisdom teaches us to model kindness, forgive easily, celebrate play, and see others — truly see them — loving them exactly as they are. Teal Paws is a space for anyone longing to deepen their connection: – with themselves – with their dog – and with the greater world around them. Through the practice of mindfulness, we learn to slow down, take a breath, and check in with ourselves, reflecting on questions like: What am I thinking or saying right now? What am I feeling, and where do I feel it in my body? What’s happening around me, and how am I responding? From that place of awareness, we can move forward with greater clarity, intention, and compassion — for ourselves and for others. Additionally, our approach is informed by trauma-informed life coaching principles, ensuring that we create a safe space for healing and growth. Welcome. Take a breath. You’re in good company here — both human and canine. And for those interested, we also explore the benefits of animal-assisted therapy and hypnosis as tools for deeper connection and healing.

Paws in the Moment is a heart-centered guide filled with 52 simple mindfulness activities you can do with your dog. Each activity invites you to slow down, breathe, and connect—with yourself, your dog, and the world around you, promoting the principles of animal assisted therapy. By using the PAWS method (Pause, Air -take a breath, Wonder about your experience, Step forward), this book helps you transform everyday moments into meaningful practices. Through your dog’s natural presence and joy, you’ll tap into dog wisdom that encourages you to live more fully, love more deeply, and be exactly where your feet—and paws—are.
