02 Director & Head Trainer

Madison Shepphard

Madi’s training started with Flyball, and it taught her what still shapes every session: motivation, timing and consistency.

  1. Age nine

    Began competing in Flyball.

  2. Crufts

    Went on to compete at high levels, including Crufts and the British Flyball Association Championships.

  3. Protection Sport

    Worked in PSA with her Belgian Malinois, Koda, deepening her understanding of balancing control, fulfilment and clear communication.

  4. Behaviour

    Her interest in behaviour grew as she began helping everyday owners and their dogs.

03 Director & Trainer

Michael Shepphard

A tired dog isn’t always a settled dog. Mike looks at what a dog may be missing: mental fulfilment, structure and emotional regulation.

  1. High-drive dogs

    Has lived and worked with high-drive dogs, a major part of his development as a trainer.

  2. Working dogs

    Working-dog training, seminars and PSA decoy work.

  3. Learning

    Has learned from trainers and K9 professionals internationally.

  4. His belief

    Exercise alone isn’t always enough: a dog can be physically tired but still lack fulfilment, structure or emotional regulation.

04 How we train

We look beyond the behaviour.

To why it happens, and what your dog may be missing. Our aim is simple: to help dogs and owners live better together.

  • Every dog is assessed before we recommend anything
  • No fixed system: a plan for each dog and owner
  • Focused on lasting change, not quick fixes

Our values

  1. Honesty

    In every recommendation we make.

  2. Clarity

    For both dog and owner.

  3. Fairness

    In how we communicate and train.

  4. Individual care

    For each dog, never a fixed system.

  5. Long-term responsibility

    Long after a programme ends.

  • 220+ dogs trained
  • 90+ reactive dogs helped
  • 18 dogs saved from being put to sleep
