Canine Mind Dog Behaviour and Training

Maddie gave me invaluable 'tools' and trained me to be able to work positively with my puppy (now year old dog) to give him the best start - particularly with recall. She is always willing to return for follow up sessions as puppies grow into teenagers.

Maddie has excellent breed knowledge which helps her deliver first class training.Olive (working Cocker) straight away understood what Maddie was explaining to me, she now comes back 90% of the time with her recall, the other 10% is work in progress !!Thanks Maddie

My husband and I have really enjoyed working with Maddie. Maddie is an excellent dog behaviourist because she understands the psychology of the problems a dog presents and works with you to develop methodical solutions that build both your confidence and your dog's. Maddie's strengths lie in her ability to explain how and why your dog behaves as he/she does and this helps you to understand your dog is not being naughty or difficult. Maddie's approach is very dog-centric which means that any method you employ is made with the dog's wellbeing in mind.Thanks to Maddie's patience and expertise my dog is happy, confident, and back to her usual stubborn self.

Maddie is a very talented and supportive ‘dog wonder women’. My dad suffers from Alzheimer’s and had to enter a care home. I was left with caring for his 11 year old dog. I needed a plan to help this complex situation for both of us. Maddie has shown she cares and understands our situation and has come up with a plan that is helping our new life evolve. We would have been lost without her.

Maddie is fantastic and very quickly can tell you the behaviour of your dog and what to do to correct the behaviour. I have used her twice now and been more than happy both times, simple instructions to help guide you. Definitely will be using again for top up sessions! Thanks Maddie!

Canine Minds was recommended to us as a service where any puppy training was one-to-one, and in our own home and surroundings. An initial course over a period of weeks culminated in one very well trained pup, who we were able to control with ease, leave with sitters if needed, and know that our pup was a pleasure to be around. To have someone with you while walking your pup, to instantly share how to deal with certain situations, gave me so much confidence. Thank you!

Maddie has been a real asset to us. We were having trouble with our new addition Penny (a french bulldog) attacking our oldest dog in the home and it was starting to feel like there was no hope in resolving this. We tried several online trainers and some in person and the experience was just terrible - they had no idea how to break free from the most basic of training. Maddie is a completely different league, knows the most in depth of dog behaviour it's incredible. She is a fountain of knowledge and calm and immediately gave my wife and I confidence that we could break through the other side with Penny. We wouldn't hesitate to work with Maddie in future and recommend her widely. A lovely person and a wonderful trainer
