Mad 4 My Dog

Mad 4 My Dog teaches people and the dogs they live with to communicate with each other, using everyday cues like sit, down and stay as the foundation. Classes range from basic and intermediate foundation work to advanced training with therapy dog prep, along with reactive dog training, Treibball, nosework and a puppy preschool. Founder Madalyn McKenney is a certified professional dog trainer, and the training uses only dog-friendly methods and equipment.

Owners can book private sessions, walk-and-train outings or day training. Daycare and pet sitting visits are also offered, and grooming includes a self-service dog wash for people who prefer to bathe their own dogs. The business is based in Ellettsville, Indiana, and has been operating since 2004.
