Introduction
Max Kuhnes
Canine Instructor
​
My name is Max, I am 29 years old and I live with my fiancee Demy and our dog Nala in the Willemskwartier in Nijmegen.
I have loved dogs since i was a little boy, thats why a few years ago, I started taking care of and walking the dogs of friends and family. As a result, my interest and love for dogs has grown increasingly stronger.
To substantiate this passion of mine with knowledge, I started following an education to become a 'Canine Instructor' at the Martin Gaus Academy.
After completing my education, my next step was clear: I wanted to make my dream come true: setting up my own dog business!
​
And here I am - working (almost) daily with different types of dogs (and owners!).
Whether it's daycare, my walking service or private lessons - the great variability, walking in the fresh air and regular contact with dogs makes this job a perfect fit for me!
​
I would love to hear how I can be of service to you and your dog(s).
I'm already looking forward to it!

My working method
Understanding each other - that's the most important thing, I think.
That means we must explain to our dogs how our world works and what is expected of them.
This way we can ultimately guide them into making the right decisions..
Also I think it is very important that we owners fully understand our role - in addition to being a loving leader, we also want to be their 'employer'.
The 'working' part has disappeared from most dogs' lives and it is up to the owner to fill this gap.
Whether it is obedience exercises, dog sports such as Agility or Flyball, or regular and extensive contact with other dogs, a fulfilled life requires more than just sitting on the couch
(for dogs and humans).
Will my dog fit in?
​
"It should be fun for everyone" - that's my mantra when it comes to my work with dogs. But unfortunately that also means that not every dog is suited for my services.
This is not dependant on the race of the dog, but more his/her energy, age and character..
Here are a few criteria so that you can check in advance, if your dog fits into my services.
​
1. Your dog must be at least 10 months or older.
- the walks of my walking service are at least 50 minutes. Since a puppy can walk approximately 5 minutes per month of age, a minimum age of 10 months old is required.
​
2. Your dog must be social and active
- The heart of my work is the mutual contact between the dogs that I walk and those that stay in my daycare.
This includes walking, running and playing together, or just cuddling on the couch.
3. Your dog must master basic commands
- think of 'sit', 'down', 'wait' and especially 'walking on a loose leash' (if there are still problems with this, please request a private consultation first)
​
4. Your dog must not be in heat
- because I receive both males and females, it is unfortunately not possible for me to accommodate a female dog in heat.
​
During the introductory walk, we will get to know eachother, but I will also examine the criteria above.
Only then will be decided if working together makes sense.
