Hi, I'm Maddie.

I’m a dog trainer and behaviour specialist, working to rebuild the bond between humans and their best friends, dogs.

1-2-1  Dog/ Puppy Training Sessions

Whether you’ve got a new puppy, adopted a rescue or just want to teach an old dog new tricks, my 1-2-1 training sessions are tailored to your dog. We focus on addressing your dogs unwanted behaviours and developing positive ones. From loose lead walking and recall to crate training and impulse control, we’ll cover it all.

Behavioural Modification

Is your furry companion in need of some therapy? With my behavioural modification service, we will look closely to understand the root cause of your dogs behaviours and pair this with positive, science based training techniques, to build a strong, trusting relationship.

Solo Training Walks

Whether you’re a new or existing client, Solo Training Walks are more than just a regular dog walk. Customised to yours & your dogs’ needs, they are the perfect solution for owners with busy lifestyles, dogs in need of consistent training & appropriate stimulation and those needing a little extra TLC.

Online 1-2-1 Training

For dogs and their owners everywhere, I offer personalised online 1-2-1 sessions, in training or behaviour modification. My online sessions allow us to address behavioural or training issues you may be experiencing with your dog, from the comfort of your own home, wherever you may be in the world.

Testimonials

  • "Maddie has been a great help to us since we rescued our energetic bull breed puppy, Blue. She has put so much time and effort into helping us understand his needs and behaviours, educating us along the way to ensure we have a well rounded and happy companion. Maddie is extremely knowledgable and hands on with her approach, explaining things in a very clear and concise way. We trust Maddie with Blue implicitly and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone requiring training and support."

  • "Maddie has helped us enormously with Marvin, our anxious 9 year old Patterdale. We have learnt so much about dog behaviour and strategies to resolve his dog reactivity. His behaviour has improved, as has our confidence. Since working with Maddie, both us and Marvin can relax and enjoy our walks."

  • "We started 1 to 1 sessions with Maddie after struggling with our 2 year old Cyprian rescue Benji. We needed help with his stranger reactivity and anxiety on walks. Maddie knew exactly how to approach Benji's behavioural issues and how to build his trust. She helped us gain so much understanding of Benji and his behaviours, and what we could do to help him. He's a happier and better behaved dog as a result and we are so grateful to her.

  • “Maddie is fantastic- she has helped us an unbelievable amount with our working breed puppy. She’s helped us to understand what our puppy needs, what we need to do and provides a great service. She’s helped us with areas including socialisation, puppy mouthing and navigating dog interactions. We now feel we can read our dog so well and know how to respond to what she needs. I don’t think a week has gone by where we don’t see progress. I’m so happy we reached out to Maddie when we did!”

  • “We signed up to 5 sessions with Maddie and our rescue pup Truffle. The sessions were varied which was fantastic, as we learnt so many techniques for different environments. Maddie was great with Truffle and obviously has solid understanding of nervous/ rescue dogs. Truffle went from being pretty scared of the outside world to happily going on walks and even getting excited to go outside, which had never happened before! He learned a variety of commands and we even started working on some man-trailing. Maddie tailored the sessions to Truffle’s needs and what we wanted to work on, following up with detailed recaps and guidance. Truffle is a different dog, and we cannot recommend Maddie enough.

  • “I reached out to Maddie for some help with our 6 year old Romanian rescue, Fred. He'd become very wary of strangers entering and passing our home and started displaying unwanted behaviour, which was getting progressively worse. Maddie was calm and confident, giving us a straight forward training plan, specific to Fred. By the end of the first visit, we knew what we needed to do. We felt much more confident with her knowledge and experience supporting us and now when the doorbell rings, chaos doesn't erupt. I'm so glad we chose Maddie to help us; she is incredible at what she does and I would definitely recommend her!”

  • “With Maddie's guidance and help, Tobin has gone from totally avoiding other dogs or reacting aggressively, to being confident enough to acknowledge other dogs, but trust us to keep him safe. He's walking better on the lead, and has become so much more relaxed on walks, as if he's finally starting to enjoy himself. He's also finally settling in the house without needing us to be by his side 24/7, his resource guarding was nipped in the bud, and overall he's just a much happier and confident dog! Having a rescue is never linear or easy, but Maddie doesn't use a one size fits all approach. Her advice is tailored to you and your dog. I was extremely hesitant to reach out to behaviourists after seeing some friends with foreign rescues have bad experiences in the past, but I will never stop being glad I did!”
