We have a 2 year old working type labrador and I can highly recommend training sessions with Max - they have been hugely helpful and enjoyable. We had a 1 to 1 session and then the retrieval package. As well as retrieval training Max has helped us with a few behavioural issues that also cropped up during that time. His experience and expertise means that he is able see situations clearly and develop solutions that he then explains in a way that a non expert can understand and follow. Flossie and I have both gained in confidence and the all important bond is getting stronger every day.

We have a gorgeous chocolate lab who is just over 9 months. He’s a big strong boy and I felt we needed some guidance. Not going to lie other half was a bit cynical. We met Max on a lovely Monday morning and felt really at ease chatting to Max. No judgement on his part and reassurance that if we put the work in we will reap the rewards. Within 5 minutes of being in the field with Max we watched in awe as Finn interacted with Max and couldn’t believe what he had him doing. We came away hopeful and confident and the fact that we had observed together we were both confident we would be engaging with Finn in the same way and manner. Max got in touch a week later to see how we were and reassured us to contact him with any questions. We have our guidebooks to keep us right as it’s a lot to remember. Already Finn is improving it’s going to take time and patience for all 3 of us and we are learning from each other. What I liked about Max apart from his love and passion for dogs. There was no pressure to sign up to a series of lessons or course. We have to contact Max if we need him. I’m sure we will be back as we can only learn from him. Thank you Max from Angie, Keith & Finn

I cannot recommend Max highly enough.After trying many different training classes and methods ( some of which we were asked to leave) I contacted Max at Action 4 Dogs He took time to get to know my dog and I could not believe the connection he developed with him in a short space of time.He has helped me understand why other training failed and was really patient and explained everything really clearly. The love of dogs and connection he has with them is amazing. Already there is a huge difference in my dogs engagement with me, he is learning new things with enthusiasm and Max has made us a much happier dog and human. We now have a great time training and learning together

Excellent Dog Trainer with Invaluable Knowledge and Expertise I had the privilege of working with Max Muir from Action 4 Dogs a few years ago, and it was an incredibly enlightening experience. Max's extensive experience in the industry is evident in his profound understanding of dog training and people coaching. Having worked with many trainers, I rate him as the best. Max is not only insightful but also patient and easy to get along with. From the moment I started the program, he made me feel comfortable and supported throughout. Thanks to Max's expert advice and guidance, I have seen great improvements in my relationship with my dog. His vast knowledge of building confidence and fostering a strong human-dog partnership is exceptional. Working with Max has been the best thing that I have done for my dog. And for me too, I am much more confident because of Max. I am immensely grateful to Max for generously sharing his knowledge and expertise. If you are seeking to build your confidence and be the best person you can be for your dog, I highly recommend working with him. His insightful teachings will undoubtedly help you navigate the intricacies of the human-dog relationship. Max Muir from Action 4 Dogs is not just a dog trainer, but also a compassionate people coach who understands the importance of confidence in both human and canine relationships. From personal experience, I can confidently say that working with Max has been a transformative journey. If you lack confidence in your abilities as a dog owner, I urge you to take the leap and book a session with Max.

I have been taking our Border Collie to sessions with Max for almost a year, starting when he was just a puppy. We were hoping to proactively work on his re -call and general obedience. We chose Max due to his experience with working breeds, and lots of positive recommendations! We found the sessions with Max to be really practical and relaxed; working on training behaviours that will be useful in the real world and with lots of advice on managing breed specific issues as they arise. Our dog genuinely really enjoys going to the training sessions! We credit Max entirely with the fact we have an obedient wee dog, that we can relax and enjoy off lead walks with in any environment!
