Certified Dog Trainers in Albuquerque, New Mexico

Science-based dog training for the everyday person!

I am open for a limited number of behavior consultations in the Albuquerque/Bernalillo County area. Behavior expertise includes fearful and aggressive behaviors, and house and leash manners. Text or email for more information.

I have been a professional trainer for over 20 years. During that time, I have received certifications as Fear Free Trainer, Animal First Aid and Disaster Preparedness Instructor, Be A Tree Presenter, AKC CGC Evaluator, Therapy Pets Unlimited Evaluator and more. I continually educate myself to ensure that I can provide my clients with the best possible training and insight into behavior modification. I have trained numerous therapy teams, worked with blind and / or deaf dogs, and have rehabilitated countless shelter dogs. I am honored to work in conjunction with veterinarians when appropriate. As a volunteer, I trained inmates in prison to train shelter dogs for 10 years, was half of a therapy team with my dog Ipha, raised thousands of dollars for animal charities, and am a volunteer with breed rescue. I now live in Albuquerque NM with Boudica the Mastiff, a foster Frenchie and a very nice man named Tim.

Albuquerque`s Mobile Dog Trainer

I use positive rewards/reinforcement as the basis of my training program. I strive to build a strong bond between dogs and their owners that is not formed out of stress and punishment but with positive reinforcement so a dog will be happy, well-mannered and enjoy spending time with the family.

I love my dog, and I love your four-legged friend as well. I use positive motivational techniques, working with the both puppies and dogs. I will work with you on all problem solving. Please contact me to join one of my classes!

Hello! My name is Maddie, and I am the Owner and Head Trainer here at Woofology LLC. I have extensive experience working with animals since I was a young child. I was always “that kid” that took in strays and animals in need and did the best I could to give them love and care. At the age of 10 years, I entered into the horsemanship arena and competed regionally in equestrian horse shows, and even won a few Championships! I always took horses that had little training–virtual diamonds-in-the-rough and turned them into champions. We didn’t have a lot of money to buy championship ponies, so with a lot of love, effort, and training I made them. I always found myself on the animals that were a little misunderstood—and therefore a little mismanaged, stubborn and somewhere outright dangerous.

All my life, I seem to end up meeting those “troubled souls” in need of love, care, and training. When I was in College, I met and married my husband. He is in the Air Force and his work took us halfway across the globe to Okinawa, Japan. There I finished my degree (I wanted to be a high school teacher–I love to teach and make a difference) but I found that my passion and skills were needed to help with the extensive stray problem on the island. I volunteered with the local Animal Rescue group where we managed to save many lives, rehome them and get them stateside. I personally fostered the big dogs—and the ones that had “issues”. It was also in Okinawa where we started our family. After our four-year tour was over, we returned to New Mexico. We faced some personal hardship upon our arrival, a hardship that made me realize life is precious, short and always uncertain. It was at this time that I decided I needed to do what I always wanted to—work with animals as a career. I already had so much experience working with dogs and that “natural” understanding of animal behavior it wa
