Our Online Clients Say
Buddy up is a do it all dog training/social dog community that offers a safe space for dog lovers on their training journey. Sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it? Well, that’s what Sit Happens have seemed to produce, so let’s dive right in and look at what could be dog lovers’ gold.
after training with Matt (Head Trainer at Sit Happens) since 2023. His knowledge of our beloved canine companions is unparalleled. His ability to train and work with a multitude of dogs with varying complex issues shows how capable he is. He sets the training on Buddy Up, so you know it’s advice you can trust.
My first impression when I logged in for the first time was WOW, there is so much content. Being a dog lover who owns a very highly driven German Shepherd I wanted to get straight into it.
The Sit Happens Community is a social hub for dog lovers, offering a space to share training progress, post about their dogs, and connect with others via chat. It features monthly challenges, tips, and tricks from Sit Happens trainers, providing enjoyable ways to enhance your dog's skills at your own pace. Members can share videos of their progress, adding a fun, interactive element. The section also includes "Walks with Matt," where the head trainer shares expert insights through vlogs and training videos from social classes, with opportunities to book discounted sessions. It’s a vibrant, engaging community designed to make training both effective and enjoyable.
the learning centre and wow there is so much content. It’s like the all encompassing go to knowledge hub for dog training. There is so many videos on Matt training dogs with varying issues. You can really learn from these. They are all split down into different categories making it easy to navigate. You can also book onto monthly zoom meetings with head trainer Matt where you can ask those burning questions. Great having a world class trainer able to answer your questions and explain things to you. WOW! Where else can you get that without spending a fortune? There is also a section on body language. A topic that I think most of us misunderstand around our dogs. I learned so much from this section. If there’s one thing to look at, I’d say it’s this. It’s allowed me to start to understand what my dog is actually telling me.
Theres also more training videos on the Watch, Learn and Apply section. These go into more depth and show the progression made with dogs and their owners through training sessions. So, more videos to learn from, I said at the biggening there is a lot of content. Then there are other sections to connect with the trainers and pack leaders.
So, what’s my verdict? If you want to have an easy to use platform with endless dog training knowledge and the capability of connecting with fellow dog owners, well look no further. Buddy Up have created something truly special with this and it is constantly developing and increasing its content and community. If you want the best for your dog and to help you start to tackle those behaviour problem, it is well worth the monthly fee. You get so much for the price. You won’t be disappointed.
