Fantastic trainers! I have had a number of 1-2-1 sessions with Dominique & Neil to help with my dog's reactivity. Their training & guidance means taking Rags for a walk now is no longer a stressful experience, but an enjoyable one for both of us. We've been able to move on to group sessions now with Neil & other reactive dogs & I consistently see improvement in Rags' behaviour around them. The best thing I've done for me and my dog. More...

I can't thank Dominique enough for her training sessions. Not only does our puppy love to go, but he's learning so much as well. This morning, I had the best walk with him so far, using the training we had last night, as I learned how to reliably stop him pulling me along. Amazing! More...

Wonderful dog training place and could not recommend it highly enough. After just one session our dog made improvements so we can't wait to see what happens after the full course. Thank you guys

Very professional and personable dog (and owner) training.

I have always found classes to be fun and focused on the different dogs needs. Dom, Maureen and Neil are all very approachable and helpful. They offer a variety of opportunities working towards KC awards, agility and man trailing. They take time to explain why behaviour occurs and how to help your dog overcome it in a positive fun way. The one thing they don’t do is promise any quick fixes and explain that thing’s learned in class need to be practiced. More...

I have joined agility with my nervous spaniel. Dom has been patient with both me and my dog. Taking time to encourage and focus her. Clearly explaining the commands and how to teach them without stressing my dog out. More...

Been with mad dog for 3 years+ now. This is my first time owning a dog and without the support of Dom, Maureen, Neil and the other club members I wouldn’t be where I am today. So supportive and reassuring in class and outside of class. It has been hard and I struggled trusting my dog off lead in the safety of the class never mind generally on a walk. Now she can run free. Only trouble is the training gets addictive, especially the agility and you suddenly find you have a whole new group of crazy friends (family). More...

Dom and Neil are brilliant!!! Patient, generous with their advice and time and non judgmental of any bread. MAD Dogs has been the best supportive environment. WhatsApp groups, support group, a range of different activity groups and a top tuck shop!! What’s not to like 🤩🤩🤩 More...

Having had 2 Border Terriers previously who I hadn’t trained or socialised life was quite restricted with them, so when we got our BT puppy decided to give it a go! Best decision ever, he is now 2 and we can go anywhere with him! The Mad Dog team are amazing, so supportive, always giving advice and never judging! You are never a lonely dog parent there, advice always on tap! Would highly recommend them! 😁 More...

Started my 18month old Labrador in agility in October we did a taster session to see how we got on and he loved it. We then booked on a course, and continuing as it keeps him focused and responsive. We have learned so much and my dog really enjoys the stimulation and varied activities. Dom is an excellent trainer and explains everything & demonstrates, plus gives us all homework to practice between sessions she also backs this up by videos sent to us via what’s app. The classes are small 7 at the most and safety is paramount. I would highly recommended this trainer for any type of dog training. More...

Just finished the puppy class with my dog. It has been so useful and I’m so glad I did it!! Everything is explained really well and demonstrated clearly. Skye absolutely loved going and pulled me in every week 🤣 she’s learnt so much and it’s been amazing. I will definitely be attending the follow up classes. Thank you!! More...

Dominique flatly refused to allow our rescue dog to attend classes, insisting instead that we pay her extortionate £75 an hour fee for 1:1 training. All her communication is rude & dismissive towards the customer. If you want 1:1 training please look elsewhere, they are people just as good who won’t rip you off. More...

I used this trainer about 3 years back and did not find it helpful at all. It was my first dog so really needed guidance but the ways they had me teach him were terrible for a working dog. My dog was also attacked during class when a staffy was practicing recall and it made a b line for my dog who had his back to the attacking dog. I was separated from the group like it was my fault and the reasoning the trainer gave me was that its because my dog is tall. Absolutely ridiculous. I'd avoid this place if you have a working dog. Definitely puts the MAD in mad dog. More...

Cannot recommend MAD Dog Club enough having taken our first puppy here and now back again with our new puppy 5 years later the training is fantastic and motivating. Lucy is a shy puppy and today attended a puppy party held here and it was wonderful to see her gain more confidence and has given me more ideas for things to do with her at home. We will be attending more workshops as well as regular training it's a great atmosphere and lovely bonding experience with Lucy. More...

I started beginners agility with my 3 year old dog luna in May and we are having so much fun! We either use a riding school indoor or more recently an agility field on grass, both of which are safe surfaces to train on. Although the training feels slow to start, all the initial effort has huge rewards when it all comes together and you start doing mini courses. Dom is very patient and the sessions are so much fun for both me and Luna. Even when I'm tired after a long work day it always lifts my mood and it feels great to bond with my dog more x More...

Can't praise Dominique and Neil enough for their positive training and support, we attend training classes and have enrolled on to beginners agility, dogs and not forced to do anything they aren't comfortable with but encouraged to try, my 3 year old lab is a work in progress but she gets so much out of the sessions, would recommend them

My puppy has just graduated from puppy class and we have both learned so much. Dominique is an excellent trainer and she shows you ways how to get your puppies attention and really connect with them. Lottie has come on leaps and bounds, although still gets a little excited when she sees other dogs ????????. It takes a lot of practice and patience but you get results. Thank you Dominique xx More...

A lovely small class. Been to a few training classes with previous dogs and none have been as good as this one. It teaches the puppy to think for itself instead of using harsh and forceful training methods. Very friendly and helpful trainer and group kept small so individual attention if needed. More...

We have just started classes and already have found the sense in the methods we have learnt helps to understand how to train.
Dominique certainly knows her stuff.
We feel very welcome at the club and Dominique fitted our beagle with his harness which I wouldn't have had a clue about
Would highly recommend so far. More...

Have been to two one to one sessions with Dominique, amazing progress already she really knows her stuff. My pup is reactive (fear based), and has been to two dog schools and three trainers previously who all used either half checks or promoted the use of slip leads. Mad dog club training is perfect for us no correction, just fun positive, enrichment and reward based training that Freya’s really responding too. We have fun and feel more positive that both Freya and I will get there now. Were as before we was loosing hope. Thank you Dominique. More...

Terrible, the puppy classes are only suitable for puppies in their first 5 months, they are not suitable for more lively or confident dogs who just get shut in the corner (literally) and receive no positive training. If your dog does anything other than sit and sleep this class will not be helpful.The trainer’s methods completely rely on buying specific items ... from her. If you don’t do this she will proceed to make patronising comments at you throughout the sessions.My dog entered these classes as happy and excitable and left them (early) as frustrated, which is displayed as growling at other dogs, something he’d never done before these groups.The trainer clearly enjoys telling owners what a bad job they’ve done with their dogs, and what issues your dog has. However, she never actually offers any solutions or methods of improving their behaviour. More...

I have been attending MAD dog club for about two years now and have loved every minute. Dom and Maureen are so knowledgeable and helpful, and would never let you leave a class without knowing what to do next or still struggling with a problem. Obi has made so much progress in agility that he is now able to enter competitions and most importantly he loves every second. The other great thing is it’s such a supportive and friendly group of people so I’ve made some amazing friends too. Wednesday is the best night of the week! More...

We started with Mad Dog Club last year after we had rehomed a young and very enthusiastic 14 month old cocker spaniel. We attended the puppy class and managed to pass. The puppy class was really useful so we started working on achieving bronze KC certificate. Both of us enjoy attending the classes and Dom is a really informative and knowledgeable trainer. It doesn’t matter if your dog is not fantastically well behaved, the classes help you work on your dogs behaviour. We love going! More...

I can highly recommend this dog training club for its effective and positive training methods. We've been to other training classes and behaviourists whose methods got progressively harsh and made the problems worse. Having attended MADs Reactive Rover course and classes we are now making good progress. We love it and more importantly, our dog loves it too. More...

After achieving a lot with puppy class, we have just had a family lesson with Dominique. She addressed all of our concerns and showed us some training methods we can do as a group as well as individually.
