Our mission at Ready, Set… Train! is to strengthen the relationship between dogs and humans by creating an open line of communication. We believe in training dogs and teaching people. Dogs learn appropriate ways to act and how to ask for things they want, and people learn how to better understand and communicate with their dogs. Compassion and positive reinforcement is the foundation to accomplishing understanding between you and your canine companion. Training is a partnership. Both the human and animal side of the relationship are important.

Upon recommendation from two veterinarians, my husband and I went with Ready Set Train for some behavioral training for our 3 year old puppy mill corgi. After a thorough conversation/consultation with Max we decided private training was our best bet. It was an absolute game changer for our girl, she quickly responded to the training and has become more confident in the weeks since training. I 100% recommend!

Max is exceptionally knowledgeable about canine behavior. My Border Collie already listens to and respects him completely. Max is also helping me realize that successful training depends on my own behavior and consistency, and he's been great at coaching me alongside my dog. I highly recommend Ready, Set, Train! for you and your pet.

This review is from Scott and Julie White for Scooby. We received 3 private lessons from Max. We are also planning on doing a group class too. We just adopted a 2 yr old dog that had no training. We really had no idea where to start. He was wonderful in helping to reassure and help us. He is very knowledgeable and taught us so much. We are very pleased and recommend him highly.

We found Ready Set Train through Tina at Canine Karma,( We love her too!) and working with Max has been such a great experience. We started over the summer with private sessions for Zekes separation anxiety , and leash reactivity, as well as my pup Taz, as they feed off each other’s emotions.
We’ve also done group classes for each pup, and everyone has been so caring, patient, and communicative both in and outside of class. Max is always happy to answer my questions and is very informative when it comes to me understanding my dogs’ behavior and next steps for training. We are excited to do more classes, as we have seen real progress and couldn’t be happier!!! :) highly recommend Ready Set Train!

We had a wonderful experience with our Trainer Max. Very informative and knowledgeable. Our pup is completely deaf and originally thought it would be more difficult to train. Max showed us that every dog is trainable and is eager to learn. It has been a rewarding experience for us all. We will for sure recommend Ready, Set,Train and we will be signing our pup for a group class next.
