Teaching Humans. Training Dogs. Working Together.
Our Services
Everything You Need Under One Woof.
Our Goal
Our number one goal is to minimise the amount of dogs that end up in shelters or euthanised. Both of which are a permanent, unnecessary solution to a temporary, fixable problem. We aim to be a better solution for both you and your dog.
Dog Training
Whether you need a long term issue resolved, want to teach your old dog a new trick, or get off to a great start with your new puppy, we can help. We use a wide array of training methods, techniques and philosophies to suit every dog, every behaviour and every owner.
Dog Walking
Rain, hail or shine your dog NEEDS their daily exercise. One of our walkers will give your dog a fantastic adventure either in their favourite park or somewhere new and exciting.
Pet sitting/boarding
Whether your cats need someone to visit them while you’re away, or your dog needs a holiday, our famously loving pet care will help you to relax with peace of mind during your time away from home. We make visits to all creatures, feathered, scaled or furry.

Why are we different? Our wide variety of techniques and methodology makes it simple for you to communicate with your dog clearly and effectively, without resorting to bribery.

“Max is an amazing dog trainer! I’ve seen the difference he’s made to the behaviour of many dogs, he truly has a great way of getting the best out of them! He also helps train you to be a good dog owner too! He gives you the tools to help communicate with your dog in a way they understand so you get the whole package with Max! Wouldn’t recommend anyone else!”
“Max and his team are such wonderful people to us as clients and our dog Shreck. Shreck has come such a long way since max has taken over his walks, we feel completely at ease when we go on holiday to no that Shreck is in the best care and we no that we can go out for the day and Max will let himself in and take Shreck out taking good care of him and making sure the house is locked up after. We would all be lost with out Max and Maddie helping us out with Shreck.”
“Max and his team are so cool they put us at ease and helped us allow our boy to interact with other dogs which terrifies us! We were dreading training him but are now looking forward to our sessions with them. They help to train people as well as dogs! Would recommend them without a doubt.
We are both astounded at the difference you’ve made not just in Alfie, but in the both of us. The confidence you’ve instilled in us is honestly something I never thought I’d see walking Alfie. He’s a much happier dog.“
