Why Madra?
Welcome to MADRA—a specialist canine behaviour and training consultancy built around your dog, your life and the progress that matters to you.
Led by behavioural specialist Sean, MADRA brings over 18 years of hands-on experience across gundogs, assistance dogs, police and security work, and complex behavioural rehabilitation. His experience extends to exotic species, including foxes and raccoons, and he has appeared as an animal expert on STV’s Late Show.
Sean specialises in aggression, reactivity, fear and complex behavioural challenges. He understands the pressure these can place on owners—the frustration, the judgement and the feeling that you have tried everything. Here, you can speak honestly, ask questions and feel supported.
We start by understanding both ends of the lead.
Your dog’s needs matter. So do your confidence, your family, your routine and what you can realistically maintain. Our person-centred approach brings these together to create a clear, purposeful programme tailored to your life.
Through practical training and individual coaching, we help you understand your dog, develop your handling skills and build greater confidence together. Reinforcement, clear communication and consistent structure give every session a purpose, with progress focused on everyday situations: calmer walks, more manageable routines and a relationship you can enjoy.
Whether you are raising a puppy, developing a working dog or seeking specialist help with serious behavioural concerns, you will receive honest guidance about what is achievable and what it will take.
We keep our intake limited so each client receives focused attention and tailored support.

Connection creates confidence. Confidence creates consistency. Consistency creates freedom.
