Training Options
At M.A.D Dog Training Club, we believe great training builds confident dogs and confident owners. Our classes are designed to support you at every stage of your dog’s life – from tiny puppies to adolescent dogs, to adult dogs starting fresh – using clear communication, positive methods, to build real-life skills that matter.
We offer structured training in a friendly environment, with one-to-one options, group classes, and for the keen dog owners looking for continuity as well as a community of like-minded dog owners, the option of club membership for ongoing weekly classes, support, as well as access to members only training and social events.
We have a training center located in an old church hall in High Park, which allows us to conduct indoor training during inclement weather and focus on indoor skills. Additionally, we have a fully secure 2.5-acre field with individual paddocks that support training activities, particularly for loose lead walking and recall, as well as agility classes when the weather is clear. The field is also available for our club members to hire for their own dogs to run or train. In the winter, we utilize an indoor sand menage for agility training. We are dedicated to providing the most suitable training facilities for our clients, along with a diverse range of options.

I have a dog who had a bad start to her life and though she has the sweetest nature and most loving character you could hope for , some of her manners and behaviour left a lot of room for improvement. In the few months we have been with M.A.D. DOG, her improvement has been more than i could have hoped for. We had some private lessons and then a course of class lessons. Both Dominique and Niel are very knowledgeable and the approach they take to training certainly improves the bond and understanding between you and your dog and visa versa. I can not speak highly enough of M.A.D.DOG and we will be continuing with them. Having a structured approach to her life has made such a difference and i am certain that my dog is much happier and well balanced in her attitude to life.

I would highly recommend going to the Mad Dog club for puppy training. Dominique was really helpful and clear with all instructions during the classes. I found the follow up recap emails really helpful as she included small video links to exercises we needed to practise during the week. This helped if your puppy was over excited during the class and you missed some of the key points!! Excellent and thank you.

I would highly recommend M.A.D. Dog Club to anyone wanting to have a well behaved puppy with social skills that allow you to take them anywhere. Our trainer was Neil, who I would like to thank and highly recommend, for all our amazing help with Jax. Jax is a labra-pei, so will be a reasonable sized, strong adult dog, so obedience is essential. We as a family have loved this journey teaching Jax the things we have been taught. His behaviour has improved so much and we have all learnt so much about doggie behaviour and psychology. With the right training and support, it makes having a puppy so much more enjoyable and rewarding. We can already pretty much take him anywhere and he is only 6 months! We look forward to the next course with Neil. Many thanks Michele and Jax 🐶

Neil was fantastic when we attended the life skills for puppies class’s. Really good support and guidance on how to train a large puppy - you can tell the trainers are passionate about what they do. We have definitely seen improvements in our puppy’s behaviour, even after just five sessions of training, and would 100% recommend this dog training course.
