Welcome to Mad Mongrels school of dog training
Based in Sydney and travelling across NSW, we are a small project dedicated to unlocking canine potential through personalized training and educational pathways. Powered by competitive trainers, expert behaviorists, and proven working dogs, we bring an educational, owner-friendly & breed-specific approach to every dog we train. Our programs throw away traditional kennel practices and dogs now live with their trainers 24/7. Our facility is engineered to simulate the home environment. We also offer Luxury boarding and transport for all shapes and sizes, as well as employment training options for handler and working dog development.
