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.

Realizing we had a dog reactive dog it was important for us to invest in private training lessons. Max came to our house with fellow trainer Ashley. They brought Max’s dogs to help us learn how to decrease our dog’s reactions to other dogs in his neighborhood.
As a result of our lessons we are able to walk our boy in our neighborhood and at area parks. We still have a reactive dog but we know how to mange his behavior.
Max brought his wealth of knowledge, experience, clear explanations, and great sense of humor to our training sessions. We recommend him to everyone interested in developing a better relationship with their dogs.

If I could give a negative number I would. Max was hired for private training with my dog. He showed up twice and then totally ghosted me after multiple text and emails. NOTHING!!! Not professional at all. I would NEVER recommend anything this company has to offer!! I was highly disappointed. This is NOT how anything should run a business!!! Please go with another service or you may be ghosted too! Do better!!
