A training device for snowboard users. The training device intends to minimize the chances of a child falling while learning proper snowboarding techniques. The training device comprises a base plate, a handle receiver, a handle, and a locking system. The front of the base plate mounts to the rear bindings of the trainee's snowboard. The handle receiver is integrated into the rear of the base plate. The handle detachably connects to the handle receiver and the locking system secures the handle in place. During use, the trainer rides behind the trainee, wherein the trainer has control of the handle. While in motion, the trainer can twist, push, and pull on the handle to control the speed, edge angle, and rotation of the snowboard. When not in use, the handle detaches from the device. This allows the user to ride on a chairlift with the training device in a stowed configuration.
