The Original and Still the best!
Mad Dogs & Englishmen is the Original and Most Trusted name in Professional Dog Walking. Founded in North Sydney in 2006 by husband-and-wife team James and Catherine, we were the first to bring a fully professional approach to the industry—complete with a branded van, website and a commitment to quality.
Our Professional & Reliable Service
Every Mad Dogs & Englishmen location is run by a local franchisee who is a highly-trained professional with a passion for dogs. Our franchisees have committed to dog walking as a full-time career and are experienced in handling various breeds and temperaments.
Safety First
We prioritise safety by walking dogs in small, supervised groups of no more than four. We group dogs with similar temperaments and ensure they live nearby for stress-free transport. We do not walk aggressive dogs, and we make sure all of our staff have completed the Red Cross First Aid Course.
Comfortable Transport: All dogs are transported in our custom, air-conditioned vans—never crammed into the back of a car.
Daily Updates on Instagram
We know how much you love your pet, which is why we send daily photo updates via Instagram so you can see all the fun your pooch is having.
Our dog walking and doggy daycare provide dogs with opportunities to explore their environment, engage their senses and safely socialise with other breeds. This regular exercise helps release pent-up energy, leading to calmer, better behaved dogs at home.
We also offer solo walks and in home dog training in Sydney, Brisbane and the Central Coast.
We understand the trust you place in us, so we want you to be safe in the knowledge that all of our franchisees are Police Checked.
We do everything we can to ensure your dogs safety is our top priority. This is why all of our franchisee's have completed the Red Cross Pet First Aid Course, so we can act confidently and quickly should anything happen.
