Walks shouldn't feel like
a battle.

"We could not have had a more positive experience. Maddie is extremely knowledgeable, professional, patient and positive. Investing in the program has been one of the best decisions we have made for our dog, Benny. She was always very accessible between sessions."

"Maddie with Southern Hounds is top shelf in my book. She will come to your house, listen to your concerns and recommend a program to fit your needs. She has already gone above and beyond. If you are sitting on the fence, give Southern Hounds a call. You won't be disappointed."

"We stopped taking Lemmy places because he was scared, growly and snappy at people. After working with Maddie we saw improvement right away. After the 3rd week in a crowded Home Depot we were shocked how unbothered and confident he was. Maddie helped bring our happy puppy back out of his shell."

"Maddie did more than she had to. That goes to show just how committed she is to helping us and our pets live better lives. With many different payment options and flexible time slots she taught our old dog some new tricks, and us too."

"Maddie is great with my dog Abby, but mostly she is teaching me to be a better dog owner. Abby is no longer afraid to walk in public places. She prances proudly right by my side. I highly recommend Southern Hounds."

"From the minute I met her and she did the eval on my Shepherd mix Thorn you could see the difference. She cares about the dogs and wants them to succeed. While you yourself receive the training as well. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trainer."

"Maddie at Southern Hounds is truly remarkable. My dogs Belle and Bandit have done a complete 360 since starting training. She has an amazing ability to earn a dog's respect while still showing them patience and care. Their progress has exceeded my expectations."

"I was leery about giving Roscoe up to a board and train program, but Maddie helped me understand it was truly the best thing I could do for him. She was wonderful, constantly keeping me updated with photos and videos of his progress. I am so grateful."

"I have gotten more results in 2 sessions with my Doberman Pinscher than 2 full classes at a big box store. If you are serious about training and owning a well mannered dog, give Southern Hounds a call."

"I was never able to take my dog Mowgli anywhere due to how he would act around others. After training with Maddie, I am now able to enjoy life at another level with Mowgli by my side wherever I wish. Highly recommend."

"I couldn't be happier with Maddie's expertise. She worked wonders with my dog Maple, teaching her impressive tricks, crate training, and off-leash e-collar training. Maple is now obedient, confident, and a joy to be around."

"It has been great working with Maddie to improve our puppy Petal's on-leash behavior. Maddie worked with our whole family so we can all confidently walk and control her. Her training methods are efficient and thorough."

"From the very first session we saw an incredible transformation. Our dog quickly learned to walk calmly on a leash and soon after we trained her off-leash. It truly changed her overall temperament. She is relaxed, confident, and much more at peace."

"Maddie trained my 6-month-old pitty mix rescue through the board and train program. After four weeks, my dog came back transformed. She walks beautifully and can even go off leash with excellent recall. I highly recommend Maddie and Southern Hounds."

"Maddie is amazing! She worked with us on the things that were important to us, not just standard obedience. She truly tailors the program to you and your dog. If you are on the fence, jump off it. Maddie is a true resource."

"Really helped me learn and teach my girl Ember. Now nowhere near as worried when I take her out in public."

"Such a great trainer. So patient, and made a huge difference with my dog. I am honestly so grateful."

"Meets you where you are and treats your dog like one of her own so you know you are in good hands and can trust her to train your dog."

"I can't say enough good things about Maddie. You can tell they truly love what they do, and that energy makes all the difference. If you are looking for someone who combines expertise with genuine compassion, this is the place."

"Maddie is quite knowledgeable caring for dogs and showing people a safe way to enjoy walking their dogs. Highly recommend. She responds quickly and is very helpful."
