Great trainers, lots of fun ways to communicate with your hound. We had a few home visits from Donna who helped us with our puppy - can’t recommend the crew enough and the added bonus of human treats (chocolate biscuits and a brew) what’s not to love!!

Carole Cassidy, October 2020
Barking Mad worked their magic nine years ago helping us to train our very wayward golden retriever Poppy. She is now an extremely well behaved loveable dog. We are now back with our little rescue, mixed breed Archie.
Once again our trainer Donna is turning Archie from an extremely excitable free spirit into a well trained dog.
I can’t recommend Barking Mad, Gravely highly enough.

Chris Hirons, September 2020
We have been going for over a year (with an unfortunate gap for Covid). To be honest, at the beginning it was more about training me rather than training the dog.
Now it is an enjoyable morning out and our dog continues to learn a lot.
Say "we are going to see Jo today" and Amba is excited and ready to go.

Our dog, AMBA, loves going to training.
