Trusted Dog Training in York, Pocklington & East Yorkshire

“I honestly can’t recommend Revolution Dog Training enough! ❤️ After Rosie was attacked by another dog as a young puppy, her behaviour completely changed. She became extremely difficult to manage refusing to walk, lunging at dogs and people, nipping when the lead was on, resource guarding and struggling with crate training. With three other dogs at home, we were constantly having to separate them and it got to the point where Rosie was fighting with our other dogs and even bit a family member. We genuinely reached the point of considering rehoming her, which was something I never wanted to do. We’d tried other trainers, but were mainly told to keep her away from dogs and people. Then we found Revolution. Mike’s initial consultation was incredibly thorough and helped us understand that Rosie wasn’t aggressive, but overwhelmed, over excited and frustrated and needed her confidence building alongside clear, consistent structure. When things became more difficult and Rosie needed more support, Mike was there to support us and we decided residential training was the best option. The updates, education and real world training in busy towns were fantastic. When Rosie came home, I struggled with my confidence handling her around other dogs. We arranged a follow up session with Maddi the next day, reassuring and educating me, and even did a home visit to help us work through what we were struggling with. The support for both Rosie and me made such a huge difference. Now Rosie is like a completely different dog! She loves her walks, has an offswitch, can relax around other dogs and family, and her recall and heel work are fantastic🥰 Rosie enjoyed her time with them so much that she’ll be returning for maintenance training while I’m on holiday. I’m normally reluctant to leave her with anyone, so the fact I completely trust Revolution with her says everything! She absolutely loves the team and genuinely thinks it’s a holiday 😂 We’ve been so impressed that our other two dogs are now joining them too for some foundation training and building confidence around other dogs! Thank you so much to Maddi, Mike, Jhai and the whole Revolution team. The transformation has been incredible and I honestly never thought we’d get here ❤️🐾”

“After having such a well behaved lovely dog, Lando, for the first 4 years of his life, something changed and I suddenly found myself dealing with aggression issues, that I just couldn’t get to the bottom of. I tried everything - numerous trainers, vets, physio, gut testing etc. I was constantly trying to figure out what was going on and how I could help him, but nothing seemed to work. We had both lost trust in each other and I got to a point where I was honestly in despair. I just wanted my dog back. That’s when I found Revolution Dog Training and decided to hand him over for a 4 week hard reset. Madi, Mike and Jhai have been absolutely amazing. They really took the time to understand my dog and what was going on. I loved their methods and the way they work with Lando - it just made sense to me. After the 4 weeks, he transitioned back to me and we’ve gone from strength to strength. We’ve rebuilt that trust between us and he’s just about back to the dog I once had and loved. Honestly, I can’t explain how happy I am. I loved Revolution’s methods so much and saw such a difference that I also joined their Working Dog Club, which has been brilliant for keeping us moving forward and continuing to build on everything we’ve learnt. I’m so grateful to Madi, Mike and Jhai for helping me get Lando back and, more importantly, giving me the knowledge and confidence to carry on doing it myself. If you’re struggling with your dog, especially with aggression or behaviours you just can’t seem to understand, I honestly can’t recommend Revolution Dog Training enough. ❤️🐾”

“I honestly can’t recommend Revolution Dog Training enough. Having a working-line German Shepherd, I knew I wanted to give her the best life possible, but I also knew that meant I needed to learn the skills to become the handler she needed me to be. The biggest thing Revolution Dog Training has given me is confidence. They haven’t just trained my dog—they’ve taught me how to understand her better, how to handle her properly and how to get the most out of her in a positive and structured way. We’ve worked on general obedience and bite work, but the biggest difference for me has been learning how to properly fulfil a working-line Shepherd and give her the physical and mental stimulation she needs. I feel like I’ve built a much stronger relationship with her through the training, and I’m far more confident in what I’m doing as a handler. I genuinely feel that because of what I’ve learned, I’m now able to give her a happier, more fulfilling life and help her reach her full potential. The knowledge, support and guidance have been brilliant, and I’d highly recommend Revolution Dog Training to anyone who wants to better understand their dog and become a more confident handler.”

“I cannot put into words how amazing the team at Revolution are! They are worth every single penny! Our Koda is a character and needed help with his reactivity, but I quickly learnt that I needed just as much training as he did! They don’t simply train your dog; they teach you how to understand them, work with them and give them what they need. You know they are brilliant at what they do when Koda gets so excited every single time he sees Madi!!!! We are so grateful for all the time, patience and effort they have put into supporting us so far, and we look forward to continuing to work with them in the future. Mike, Madi and Jai- you are incredible and if there were Oscars for dog training, this team would win one! Thank you so much from all of us!”

“We have a 6.5-year-old Cockapoo, Blue, who has always been extremely anxious and reactive. It had a huge impact on our lives, we couldn’t take him to friends’ or family’s houses or even to the pub without him crying and barking the entire time. He was also very unpredictable around other dogs, which caused us a lot of stress and anxiety too. When we first contacted Revolution Dog Training, our main goal was simply to help Blue relax so we could include him more in our lives and feel confident leaving him with family if we went abroad, rather than having to use kennels. Mike, Madi, and the whole team have exceeded every single expectation we had! Not only can Blue now relax calmly in different environments, but he also walks beautifully on heel and his recall is incredible. The transformation in him and in our lives has been amazing. We honestly couldn’t be more grateful to everyone at Revolution Dog Training for everything they’ve done, and we would recommend them to anyone struggling with their dog’s behaviour, especially those who think their dog is “too old” to change!”
