About Maddie Makes Manners
Maddie Makes Manners helps owners create consistency in their dog's daily life. Learn how to be a strong leader and cultivate a calm, confident canine companion. Discover our approach and how it can transform your relationship with your dog.
A different approach to dog training
Most trainers focus on teaching commands like sit, stay, or down—behaviors you can cue in daily life. My approach is different. I focus on shaping the environment around your dog so they naturally offer the behaviors you want.
There are three key skills every dog needs to master: respecting boundaries, impulse control, and reactivity suppression. Once these are solid, teaching commands like sit, stay, or leave-it become almost effortless.
Creating calm, confident companions
Maddie’s goal is simple: help you create an environment that encourages your dog to make the right choices. With competent, no-nonsense guidance and a genuine passion for helping owners succeed, she shows you how to build the foundation for a well-behaved, confident canine.
Maddie offers one-on-one lessons, using her own dog to assist with reactivity training in a location that’s comfortable for you. Learn how to cultivate structure, balance, and calm in your dog’s life—and watch the results unfold. Contact us today to book your session.
Consistency is key
At Maddie Makes Manners, we know that consistency is key to a happy, well-behaved dog. Our training programmes teach you to become a strong, confident leader while fostering trust and respect with your furry companion. Learn to set clear boundaries, manage impulses, and reduce reactivity. By mastering these core principles, you can create a harmonious environment where your dog feels safe, secure, and confident. Let us help you unlock your dog’s full potential and build a lasting bond based on understanding and cooperation.
