Unleash Your Dog's Potential

GET TO KNOW US

Hi I'm Max! The founder of The Training Buddy.

The Training Buddy is for owners who are fed up with feeling embarrassed, overwhelmed, or out of control. This isn’t generic, one-size-fits-all training. It’s tailored, hands-on support designed to give you clarity, confidence, and a dog you’re proud to walk.

My passion for dogs started when I was 13 years old, and from that moment, I knew this was my path. I have spent years learning, refining my skills, and adapting training methods that fit real life. My focus is on clear communication, consistent leadership, and practical results.

The Training Buddy is here help owners stop feeling frustrated and start to truly enjoy their dogs.

1-2-1 Dog Training

Our 1-2-1 Training Programmes are designed to give you and your dog focused, personalised support.

These sessions are owner-led and coaching-focused. Unlike our 1-2-1 Training Walk Packages, where we work directly with your dog to build consistency through structured practice, 1-2-1 sessions are centred around you. We work together in real time, developing your handling skills, improving communication, and giving you the confidence to guide your dog independently.

Every programme is tailored to your goals and your dog’s individual needs. Whether you’re refining behaviour, addressing specific challenges, or strengthening overall structure, sessions are designed to create clear, practical progress that continues beyond our time together.

You’ll leave each session knowing exactly what to do, why you’re doing it, and how to apply it in everyday situations.

Walk and Train Packages

Our Walk and Train Packages combine structured exercise with real-world, personalised training.

Each session is tailored entirely to your dog’s individual needs, focusing on building better habits, clearer communication, and reliable behaviour in everyday environments. Whether your dog needs guidance, structure, confidence, or simply more consistent boundaries, every walk is designed with long-term progress in mind.

These walks are offered as structured packages to ensure consistency and genuine development — not quick fixes. You’ll receive clear, practical homework to work on between sessions, helping your dog learn to respond to you, not just during training walks.

At the end of each week, we include a dedicated handover session to review progress, demonstrate techniques, and coach you through everything your dog has been working on.

The goal is simple: calmer walks, more control, and lasting results you can confidently maintain.

Puppy Training Programme

Our Puppy Training Programme is designed to give your puppy everything they need for a confident, well-balanced start in life.

Tailored specifically for new puppy owners, providing comprehensive guidance, support, and a customised training plan aligned with your objectives. It emphasises the importance of establishing clear boundaries, maintaining calm routines, and fostering effective communication from the outset, which aids in preventing common behavioural issues before they arise.

Sessions are practical, structured and owner-led, giving you the knowledge and confidence to guide your puppy correctly through each stage of development. You’ll learn how to build focus, encourage positive behaviours, and create consistency both at home and out in everyday environments.

Each programme includes clear guidance and simple exercises to work on between sessions, ensuring steady progress and long-term success.

The aim is simple: to lay the essential foundations now so your puppy grows into a calm, responsive and well-mannered adult dog.
