Trusted Dog Training in York, Pocklington & East Yorkshire

“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.”

“Where do I start? Marley has been through more in his first three years than most dogs experience in a lifetime. Between serious health issues caused by a genetic disorder and previous experiences that left him traumatised, we were struggling. We later discovered that he had been abused, which explained so much of the fear, anxiety, and reactive behaviour we were seeing. Trusting anyone with Marley was one of the hardest decisions we have ever had to make. Then we found Revolution Dog Training. From the very first phone call to the day we brought Marley home, the experience was outstanding. The communication was incredible throughout. We received constant updates, photos, videos, and reassurance, which made handing Marley over so much easier. The professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care shown by the entire team were second to none. Marley was a highly reactive dog suffering with what can only be described as PTSD. He struggled with strangers, children, and many everyday situations. It had become particularly difficult with my 10-year-old son, Henry, who was understandably nervous around him. Within the first week, we could already see a huge difference. The team helped us understand that Marley wasn’t a “problem dog” at all. They showed us just how intelligent, capable, and loving he really is. They saw the dog behind the behaviours and worked tirelessly to bring out the best in him. We attended training sessions as a family, and the way they supported Henry was incredible. Henry arrived feeling very nervous around Marley, but by the end of the session he was confidently walking him on the lead. The patience, encouragement, and reassurance they gave him meant the world to us. The training didn’t stop there. The team continued to work through every issue they identified and prepared us for bringing Marley home. When Henry, my nephew Reece, and I collected Marley, they spent nearly two hours providing training and guidance, with a huge focus on helping Henry build confidence and understand how to work with Marley successfully. Since coming home, Marley has been transformed. Of course, he still pushes boundaries from time to time, but he understands what is expected of him and responds brilliantly. We can now take him to pubs, cafés, restaurants, and even golfing with us. Henry walks him confidently, something we never thought would be possible. To see Henry and Marley happily sharing the same room and building such a wonderful bond is something I can’t put into words. What makes Revolution Dog Training truly special is that their support doesn’t end when your dog comes home. The communication is still there. If we have a question or need advice, they respond quickly and are always happy to help. Thank you for giving us our Marley back. He is happier, more confident, and able to enjoy life again. Most importantly, our family can enjoy life with him. We will be forever grateful and cannot recommend Revolution Dog Training highly enough”

“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!”

“Absolutely 100% recommend these guys! I’ve always struggled with teaching ‘heel’ but Madi explained where I was going wrong and what to do and within a very short time we had it sorted (first time ever in over 30 years of owning dogs walking with a loose lead is a reality not a constant battle) . Lessons are informative and helpful with clear easy to follow instruction and they take the time to explain why and how what they teach works! Thank you!!”
