The invention discloses a testing method for the dynamic response of a model pile foundation. The testing method comprises the steps of 1, selecting model soil and model pile material; 2, preparing a model pile through a model pile preparing device; 3, determining the compaction standard of the model soil according to the speed of shear waves; 4, placing the model pile prepared in the step 2 into the center of a model box, placing the model soil into the model box in multiple times and compacting the model soil according to the compaction standard of the model soil obtained in the step 3, wherein the model soil inside the model box comprises a plurality of layers of soil bodies; 5, arranging various testing elements inside the model box; 6, connecting the testing elements to a data acquisition system; and 7, obtaining the data of the dynamic response by the data acquisition system through the various testing elements. According to the testing method, model tests are efficient and can be carried out accurately.
