Wagging Good Time

***I'm a dog trainer and will work with you on training and lessons if you are interested please let me know!*** I grew up with a family dog in my house and have been around them all of my life. I am a dog trainer with over five years training and owning dogs. I am a balanced trainer so I train based on what works for you and your dog! I worked as a kennel tech for a vet clinic in the past so I am experienced in proper leash walking dogs of many sizes, administering medications, bathing and other healthcare. I have also trained many anxious and reactive dogs so I know how to safely handle any pets with behavioral issues and make them feel as comfortable as possible (and potentially even work on those issues)! I also volunteered at Kitty Kat Haven regularly and own several cats. I own extra kennels, beds, bowls, leashes, and toys. I do own a litter box and my dog is very cat friendly and is trained to ignore a cat or dog if I tell her but will play with any dogs that want to! My cats are used to many different dogs and have even made friends with most dogs I have boarded in the past.

Madi was super responsive and gave informative updates on how our cat was doing, including one of the best pictures we have of him! We would love to have her take care of him again!

Madi is wonderful! She’s an obvious animal lover, and we are so happy she agreed to drop in on our three cats! Trustworthy, great communication, and cool. We will definitely reach out to Madi again!

Madi always take care of Roxy and I can tell that Roxy feels love and taken care of because she is always excited whenever she’s with her and I can see the love that’s being poured towards her! Madi is such a great carer!

Madi took great care of our kitty, Brioche, while we were out of town. She gave her her medication every morning and gave us thorough updates. Brioche was a little spooked one morning after a power outage the night before, and Madi handled our nervous girl really well. She paid attention to her behavior patterns and made sure she was well taken care of. I appreciated her attentiveness and the care she provided Brioche!

Boarding • Sep 06, 2026

I cannot recommend Madi enough! I was so nervous about leaving my puppy with someone I didn’t know while I was away, but she immediately made me feel completely at ease. She sent tons of messages, photos, and updates throughout the entire stay, and I always felt like Navy was in the best hands. It was also such a huge bonus that Madi is a dog trainer and really understands puppies and their needs. Navy was so well cared for and clearly loved her time with her. I would 100% trust Madi with her again and am so thankful I found her!

Schedule

I am starting a dog training business in Little Rock. That means my life revolves around working with and caring for dogs. I am out of my home to run errands and meet my clients for lessons and other appointments, usually no more than a couple hours and I often adjust my schedule to customize for need of the pups. I am able to take puppies that are still potty training and keep them on track as well as keep a high energy dog exercised.

Safety, trust & environment

My environment is built for proper care for dogs and cats. Being a dog training, my home is safety conscious first and fun a close second. My goals is to make sure your pets needs are met. I want to make sure we meet exercise and enrichment requirements so your pet is happy and healthy!

Pets

A typical day

We will go on walks in my neighborhood and sometimes our local parks. The dogs love running laps in the yard while I take photos or play with them. We spend evenings in our porch or on the couch with the pups. When the weather is bad I make sure to setup enrichment for high energy puppies and training always helps refocus a misbehaving pup to better habits!

I am happy to watch all breeds! Is your pet friendly? Are they comfortable in a crate? Does your dog bark when left alone? Is your dog well potty trained? Has your pup ever met a cat?
