BARKING MAD
Kerry Coe -
We have adopted a rescue dog that these guys cared for and trained for a month during foster care. It is obvious that his bad behaviours would have been impossible to manage without the training he has received. Can’t wait to do the full program of puppy school for adult dogs.

“Fantastic pooch (and human) trainer, couldn't recommend anyone of better quality.”
Max Rawicz -
I would highly recommend Barking Mad. We adopted a rescue dog named Maxy who was severely malnourished/abused as a puppy. He had a hard time trusting humans and he slowly developed a very dominant persona. This caused issues for us. After Maxy had nibbled a few people we thought enough was enough and we looked for help.

“Brandan is a talented dog whisperer and a diplomat, whilst showing you how to confidently train your pooch.”

In Feb 18 one of our dogs passed away. We wanted to adopt another dog however our remaining dog (the tan boy on the left) was not so social and we had great difficulty introducing him to new dogs. Brandan worked with us and our dog to address some of these issues.
hen as we were getting ready to find a new dog, Tessy escaped from her foster home in EB and she was posted on Facebook and found. We adopted Tessy a few weeks ago and here they are together. Without this group and the wonderful connections, our boy would have been a confirmed bachelor!!!

Brandan was great help with our two dogs, after a couple sessions and adapting to the necessary changes, our dogs were much more at ease in our house and well behaved.
Friendly service, well priced and good educators of the basic training principles, for both our dogs and ourselves.
I have tried two other trainers that would not deserve one star. Barking mad deserve the full 5 stars and we would not hesitate to use them again.

If you need help training your dog seriously contact Brandan!
Our lives have changes for the better thank to this wonderful human, teaching us all the right skills & knowledge to deal with our over friendly dog. We had been to numerous dog trainer teaching us different things, but nothing ever worked.
We wanted to be able to take our dog out without him jumping on strangers and running up to other dogs when he’s off lead. Plus many other annoying habits he had (like opening doors) We now have a very well balanced, happy boy who we can confidently & take out without the stress that something bad may happen.

"A great trainer who also volunteers time to work with foster carers and help rehabilitate their pups for adoption. Although some may find his methods inappropriate they work and many others out there use them. I’ve had experience with several trainers along the way and would not hesitate to recommend Barking Mad to anyone who asks.

Would just like to thank Brandan for giving me the guidance and tools I needed to gain control & confidence with my girl!
The results I've already seen with 3 training sessions has been amazing at home and especially on walks!

No problem is too difficult for Barking Mad to fix. Brandan taught me how to properly walk a dog, how to practice calm and assertive leadership and he is always happy to answer all of my doggy behavioural questions.
Thorough and friendly, I have nothing but praise for Brandan.

We were having real problems with our new foster dog and our permanent girl. She just wouldn't take to him at all and there were many fights, often with blood drawn.
Brandon came in and gave us some great tips to take control back & after just the first week there was a vast improvement in their behaviour to one another.
We can't thank Brandon enough or recommend them more highly for equiping us with the knowledge we needed to better manage their behaviour & prepare for future fostering.
Deb, Meagan, Nahla & most of all Bailey Bear who is now in his forever home.

i learnt so much about dog behaviour, and how to handle dogs new to my care. Any one who owns a dog, whether it is hard to handle or not, spend some time with Brandan from barking mad, and you will walk away with confidence, and the ability to take charge of your dog and give it the care and treatment they need. Special thanks to Brandon. You are brilliant at training dogs.

Brandan was fantastic with my Boxer who is a nightmare to walk and also has separation anxiety. He gave me lots of tips and tricks to get her behaviour back under control and we are all a lot happier for it
​
I attended a 6 week course that Barking Mad ran, I am now able to apply what I learnt with my dog to the rescue dog I foster. There is no better reinforcement of how much I had learnt when I ( not even 5 foot) can walk 3 medium height dog( 1, 4 month old puppy) past a man with 2 dog's at the end of their leads trying to get to my dog's who listened to commands and sat quietly while they passed. Thanks Brandon, I benefit so much from enjoying walks with my dog's.

Totally amazing!!! The knowledge shared in videos posted really works!! I used it on my little devil and it worked perfectly straight away!! walking pup on the lead and in pulling him back correctly.. he started to correct himself when he put tension on the lead by walking forward to much!
Brandan explains the training and reason of behaviour in such an understand view. Very clear he does this for the dogs and he loves it! Brandan has also helped endlessly with 100 questions of why my crazy puppy is behaving so silly and how to fix it! Couldn’t give higher recommendations. Thank you so much would be lost without the help!! Always saving the day.

“Brandan has guided & supported the transformation of myself as a dog owner and in turn my pooch Bobby. I followed Brandan’s advice and techniques exactly and the transformation of Bobby and my life is indescribable. Literally a new dog in a few sessions. I thought life with Bobby before Brandan was ‘fine’ and I managed Bobby’s behaviour however now I know how great life for me and Bobby can be. Bobby is calm, compliant and loving, now going out in group off lead walks - and I thought he was perfect before! Brandan is kind, supportive and practical. You will not be disappointed if you engage Brandan’s services. Highly recommend.”

Brandan was fantastic with my dog Bentli.
Highly recommended - very passionate about what he does & so caring for even the most problematic of cases, like mine

Having had dogs previously, but not a puppy for years, I underestimated how hard a puppy was going to be. The biting, jumping, pulling on the lead, toilet training just to name a few traits were things that were challenging me and as the weeks went on, became harder to deal with.
After a client recommended Brandan I booked him in and instantly felt better, that there was a light at the end of the tunnel.
Brandan came out for a 2-hour in-home training session, and after having been a little dubious about whether Dusty was actually “trainable”, I can honestly say I was more than pleasantly surprised.
We went through a history of her behaviour then worked out the most important traits I wanted to improve. Brandan fully explained and demonstrated each training method with me, and within minutes Abby was sitting patiently waiting for commands.
He demonstrated the very practical methods of discouraging Dusty's jumping up and digging, as well as hints to improve and prevent the numerous accidents inside my house. I was more than impressed with Brandon's knowledge of not only dog training, the dog breed, but of the practical application of each technique.
Since the lesson, I have continued to follow these steps and I can honestly say Dusty has improved beyond what I had hoped for.
I am finally enjoying her company as she is more calm and relaxed. She still tries to push the boundaries on occasions, but I am confident that we won’t be going back to those early days.
I Highly recommend Barking Mad to help with whatever training you need for your puppy/dog – Thank you Brandan for your professional, caring service!! nothing beats restored sanity and a good relationship with your puppy!
