Unlock your dog's potential

At Maddie Makes Manners, we focus on value, not just commands. Discover our unique approach to dog training, designed to help you cultivate a harmonious environment for your canine companion. Let's work together to build a better relationship with your dog, focusing on long-term goals and a deeper understanding of behaviour.

Pricing & Packages

Dog training is not "one package fits all", it is adaptive. Every dog is different, and so is every owner. That's why our training is tailored to you and your dog's unique needs. If you're unsure which package is best, reach out to us, and we'll help you find the perfect fit!

What makes us different?

Unlike traditional training methods that focus on commands, we prioritise creating a supportive environment where your dog can thrive. Our approach emphasises three key areas: respecting boundaries, impulse control, and reactivity suppression.

By mastering these, your dog will offer desired behaviours, leading to a deeper, more fulfilling relationship.

What You Need to Know Before Booking

✓ Your First Session Is Always Free

Every new client receives a complimentary introductory session:

Where We Train

I drive to you—your home, your neighbourhood, or any location where your dog struggles.
Common training spots include:

  • Your home (for house manners & structure)
  • Your street or neighbourhood (for leash manners)
  • Parks, trails, or busy areas (for distraction work)
  • Dog parks or dog-heavy spaces (for reactivity training)

Wherever the problem is—we work there.

Before Your Session

Please ensure your dog is exercised and tired beforehand—even for leash or walking lessons. A fulfilled dog has a clearer mind and learns much faster.

What to Expect

Each session is built around your dog’s ability to focus, learn, and rest:

  1. Warm-up (10 minutes)
    Dogs play, decompress, and we outline the goals for the day’s session.

  2. Training Blocks
    Sessions are split into 10 minutes of training + 10 minutes of rest, repeated as needed. Dogs learn best in short, focused intervals with breaks—this keeps them motivated and sets them up for success.

  3. Real-Life Practice
    We work directly on the behaviours you’re struggling with. Your dog receives hands-on guidance, and so do you.
