Bella
"Maddie is an exceptional dog trainer who is an expert in her field. Our labradoodle Bella completed both puppy and adolescent training with Maddie. We found the classes really useful and engaging, in some circumstances they were also life changing, with a very energetic crazy dog!!
Maddie is very approachable, her kindness and love for dogs is clear, always happy to help and support with any issues you may be having with your dog. 100% recommend classes with Maddie's Pawfect Pooches - 5 star"

Betty
We would highly recommend Maddie, she really helped us and our miniature dachshund. Our dog was suffering with noise sensitivity and other anxieties. As well as this our toddler was very heavy handed with her affection.
Maddie really understood our dog and worked with us over a number of sessions to improve things. Betty was a much happier after this and we have Maddie to thank. Her techniques are always positive and can be applied in multiple situations, what struck us most is how well she could interpret Betty’s behaviour! A true dog whisperer

"Ollie has just graduated from an amazing 6 week adolescent training class. We would absolutely recommend anyone to take their young dog on this valuable course. Maddie is so friendly and professional and she patiently taught us lots of new skills that we would not have known or thought of but that have been so helpful for new situations. Maddie has endless knowledge in everything to do with dog behaviour and general health and her classes included a lesson in the local park and a mockup café to help us train in real life situations. We were a very small group so plenty of opportunities to get personal advice and we are really going to miss our Sunday lessons. Best of luck with all your future doggy students Maddie"

"Maddie has been amazing with our human reactive French bulldog!
She was patient and done things in a nice calm way. I thought he was going to be unfixable, but we started seeing improvements within the first couple sessions, (which is what Maddie told us at the start) and now it’s just down to us to continue that training with the new things I have learnt, and find new people to come to our home to get our dog used to new people so we can finally start to get our social life at home back and have a happy relaxed dog rather than a stressed and worked up one.
We will be having outdoor training sessions to help with his reactivity outdoors and I’m super excited to do this with Maddie!
Can’t praise her or recommend her enough!
She’s been an absolute gem! "

Rupert
"Maddie came into our lives and she has made a massive difference to Ruperts social skills. Maddie has put in place regular walks and training helping with Ruperts fears of the outside world he missed out on at a critical stage of development. We have nothing but admiration for her continuing input to Ruperts recovery and life skills. He loves his time with Maddie and gets so excited when she arrives we can clearly see how happy she makes him. We can see a massive change in his confidence and happiness. We totally trust maddie with Rupert and know she has his best at heart. Maddie is very caring and kind. We would highly recommend her to anyone needing a trainer. Thank you so much maddie for everything you have done and are still doing to make Rupert a happy well rounded young dog."

Indie
"I'd like to say a massive Thank you to Maddie from Pawfect Pooches for the training delivered to myself and Indie; having a reactive dog, particularly due to covid has been no mean feat! From the outset Maddie was highly professional, personable and clearly incredibly passionate about what she does. In a very short space of time Indie has gone from lunging and barking at cars to barley noticing them; having words with every dog she comes across but now much calmer and having a go at anyone she sees. She will now walk past people quietly. Indie and myself are still working hard on all of these areas but with Maddie's clear, concise and effective training and ongoing support she has become much less reactive and super engaged."
