MK9Plus is an online dog training membership built by Max Randall, an IMDT qualified, OCN accredited trainer from the UK. Instead of only training behaviours, it teaches you to solve what causes them. Inside: 200+ video lessons, weekly livestreams, Zoom calls, a community, and 1-to-1 email support with Max himself.
For anyone deciding whether they see dogs the way we do.
Not like you'd expect. Training is in here, and it's taught properly, but it's the smallest part of what actually fixes a dog. The thing is, any dog trainer can make a behaviour disappear. They can do it nicely, or they can do it harshly. But typically, what happens is you're now left with that training and managing to do for the foreseeable future.
This platform is here to help you understand that your goal isn't just to find a training course that makes a behaviour stop. It's to end up with a life where you don't need to hold it all together with training, and you can just enjoy your dog. That's why members say "my whole perspective on dogs has changed", not "my dog learnt sit".
If all you want is obedience commands, this honestly isn't for you. If that life sounds like the one you're after, come and see what's inside.
One rule: everything we teach has to tick three boxes. Good behaviour, a genuinely healthy dog underneath, and problems that don't come back. That's the Whole Dog Approach. Most training only chases the first box, which is exactly why it never gets to end. So many people are left with a well trained dog, or a suppressed, complying dog, that's still a mess underneath: restless, hyper, unpredictable. The three boxes exist so that's never you.
There's a practical difference too. In-person training runs on someone else's schedule: sessions booked a week out, and a weekly hour gives you roughly four hours of guidance a month, with nobody there to help you make sense of what went wrong on Tuesday morning. MK9Plus works on web and app, so you learn when it's actually relevant. Difficult walk today? Watch the arousal lesson tonight, apply it tomorrow. And with 1-to-1 email support, your questions don't wait for an appointment.
Honest answer: both can work. What changes a dog is consistent, informed practice at home, guided by an approach that solves why the behaviour happens. And that person is you, not a visitor. A trainer sees your dog for one hour a week. You live with your dog for all 168.
Now the maths. A qualified UK trainer averages around £65 an hour, a proper programme of sessions typically runs £300 to £1,000, and behaviourist consultations cost more again, with no ceiling and no finish line. Here, you learn as much as you want, rewatch every lesson until it sticks, and pay a fraction of one session per month.
I say this as someone who helped 1,000+ dogs in person first. I didn't build MK9Plus to copy in-person training. I built it to deliver what in-person training never could. There's no way you'd have learnt all of this from me coming round your house once a week. And you can verify that yourself, free, before trusting anyone. Me included.
Are the results instant, like a lot of trainers claim? Of course not, and I'd be worried about anyone who promises that. A result here means all three boxes: good behaviour, a dog that's genuinely okay underneath, and problems that stay gone. Quick fixes only ever deliver the first one.
Think of it like learning to drive. Passing your test is easy. It's also really easy to mess it up afterwards. I'm not asking you to become an F1 driver, but I'm not going to just teach you how to steer, either. Most members see real change early, because the moment a dog's needs are met, things start to settle. But the proper result, the dog you just enjoy, is built over weeks, not one session. That's why it lasts.
You shouldn't trust anyone in this industry on their word alone, me included. Dog training in the UK has no regulation at all: anybody can call themselves a trainer tomorrow and start charging, whatever their background.
If you're vetting a local trainer, check for IMDT, ABTC or APDT membership and ask directly about their experience with your dog's specific issue. A certificate on a wall isn't automatic proof of quality, but it's a start.
As for me: I'm IMDT qualified and OCN accredited, overseen by the Department for Education, and you can read my full story here. But I'd rather you didn't take the certificates' word for it either. MK9Plus is deliberately built so you can verify everything first: 630+ Trustpilot reviews, a free trial, and a money back guarantee. Judge the results, not the poster.
Age, breed, history, and the serious stuff.
Enzo was three, straight off the streets, and had never had an owner. He now recalls off deer. Your dog is not too old, and they're not broken.
Dogs are results of the lives they're living. Rescue dogs are just other people's dogs. Older dogs might take a little longer, but every dog adapts to the life around them, at any age. Change the life, and the dog changes with it.
Yes. If you've come here with one specific issue, the help you need is in here. But here's the honest bit: that's not where the support should stop, because any trainer can stop a behaviour. Lovely, fun training or harsh, forceful training will both get quick results. The behaviour disappearing was never the goal.
These behaviours aren't personality flaws. They're communication: the tip of an iceberg, with stress, stuck-high arousal, frustration, broken sleep, unmet breed needs or even hidden pain sitting underneath. Inside there's a dedicated series for each of them, and they start the way I always start: rule things out properly, including a vet check for pain, find the actual cause, then resolve it.
The goal on this platform is that you never have an issue again. So you won't just be taught how to stop the behaviour, because that's the simple bit, done with ugly training or pretty training. We want the dog left okay, and the dog left with a person who knows everything they need to know about dogs. You'll help your entire dog, and you'll know exactly why it worked.
One honest boundary: if a dog is a genuine safety risk, biting with injury or aggression around children, use MK9Plus alongside an in-person qualified behaviourist and your vet, not instead of them.
Yes: there's a full puppy series and a full adolescent series inside, and they go far beyond basic obedience or listing what's wrong with your dog. 8 weeks to 2 years is a developing brain that needs catering to, not correcting, and this is your one chance to prevent the nightmare behaviours instead of fixing them later.
Adolescence is also where most "perfect puppies" seem to fall apart, and where owners get the worst advice of all. You'll know exactly what's normal, what to prioritise, and why your teenager's brain is doing what it's doing.
Far more than most training ever admits. Your dog was bred for a job, and that wiring doesn't switch off because they live on a sofa now. A spaniel's needs are not a collie's needs, and neither matches a terrier's.
Inside, you'll learn the outlets your dog's breed was actually built for. Get those right and frustration drains away, arousal settles, and the training you do suddenly sticks. It's one of the biggest "oh, THAT'S why" moments for new members.
Don't know your dog's breed? There are resources inside for that too. Every dog is three things: a dog, a breed, and an individual. Even with the breed part unknown, the other two tell us plenty, so you can still provide exactly what your dog needs.
What's inside and how it fits your life.
Everything. There's one membership level, and it includes:
The full tour is on this page.
Every plan comes with a road map built for your dog. Tell us the behaviour you're living with, and you get every lesson you need laid out in the exact order to watch them, with the support to go alongside it.
No guessing where to start, and no wading through 200+ lessons hoping you picked the right one. A pulling dog's road map looks different to a barking dog's road map, because what's driving them is different. You always know what to do next.
No, and that's deliberate. Those courses focus on the behaviour. The rest of the platform is everything you need to work on your dog, and on you, so that in six or twelve months' time new issues don't pop up behind the one you fixed.
Selling you the reactivity bit on its own would be selling you the exact model I built this platform to escape: stop one behaviour, wave goodbye, see you at the next problem. This platform creates modern dog parents. That's the magic of it.
Yes, and it's actually me. Every member can email me directly, 1-to-1, about their own dog. You can also bring your questions to the weekly livestreams and Zoom calls, or post in the community for answers between times.
It's the part members say they'd pay for on its own: never being stuck, never guessing, never waiting a week for an appointment to ask one question.
Half an hour every other day is two hours a week. That's already double the learning a traditional weekly session gives you, for roughly an eighth of the money. And most of what you learn gets applied inside walks, meals and routines you already do, not bolted on top of your day.
For what it's worth, the average new member watches around 16 hours in their first month. To buy 16 hours in person, you'd wait four months and pay close to £1,000. Here it's all there on day one, and you can rewatch and revise whenever you're ready to learn, at your own pace.
If you can watch YouTube, you can use MK9Plus. It works in any web browser and there are apps for your phone, tablet and TV. You press play, the lessons come in a pre-set order, and you can rewatch anything.
And if you ever do get stuck, you can email me. That's what the support is for.
Yes, in about twenty seconds, and you don't have to speak to anyone: go to Account, then Purchases, and cancel from there. No emails, no phone calls, no guilt trip.
If you're just busy for a while, you can pause instead and keep your place (see the pausing question below).
The straight answers most sites hide.
£97 for 3 months, £297 a year, or £497 once for lifetime access. Same access and same support on every plan, and every plan includes your tailor-made Behaviour Road Map. The yearly and lifetime plans also come with a 1-to-1 onboarding call with me as a bonus.
For comparison: a single in-person programme typically costs £300 to £1,000, ends after a handful of hours, and leaves nothing to rewatch. Full details are on the memberships page.
Not anymore, and here's the honest story. When we ran a monthly plan, a large amount of members upgraded to quarterly or yearly within a couple of months anyway. On average, monthly members stayed around six months and paid more for it. So we retired it.
Because the goal here was never to quickly stop one behaviour, it's that you never have an issue again. And once the first problem is solved, learning your dog turns into a rabbit hole. The plans now match what actually happens. Not sure you're in yet? That's exactly what the 7 free days and the free resources are for.
Yes: 7 days, with full access to everything. It exists so you can verify every claim on this website before spending a penny.
A card is needed to start it, and you'll get reminder emails before it renews. And if it ever renews when you didn't mean it to, you're still inside your money back window, so you simply get refunded. There's no way to lose money by accident here.
Simple: if you wouldn't pick up your dog's poo with your bare hands just to stay a member, you get your money back. Every penny, no interrogation.
Every membership carries it: 60 days on the 3 month plan, 90 days on yearly, and 180 days on lifetime. You'll know your cover before you pay anything. Find me another trainer offering that.
Yes. Go to Account, then Purchases, and pause from there. Billing freezes, your place is saved, and you pick up exactly where you left off when you're ready.
Holidays, house moves, mad months at work: pause it rather than losing your progress.
