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!

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.

I chose Ready Set Train because they use POSITIVE reinforcement-based training, which was really important to me. My dog was attacked by another dog a couple of years ago, and since then he’s been reactive toward strangers and other dogs. I started private sessions with Max, and over the summer I’ve seen major improvements in my dog’s behavior. The trainers are KNOWLEDGEABLE, SUPPORTIVE, and GENUINELY CARE about their clients. Their classes are also AFFORDABLE, which I really appreciate. Since this summer, I’ve continued training and have already completed two other group class packages with them.

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 at Ready, Set, Train made such a positive impact on us and our puppy, Reggie! His leash pulling, digging, and barking at every dog were driving us crazy. Max patiently worked with us, first at our house to manage his reactions; then at Wildwood, where we honed Reggie's leash walking and social skills. With consistent practice of Max's techniques, Reggie's behavior has transformed in just a few months. It's now fun to take him on walks and introduce him to friends. We're so excited to continue our journey with a Ready, Set, Train class this fall. Thank you, Max!
