Founder - Head Dog Trainer

Madison Barraclough

As the founder of Revolution Dog Training, I’d like to introduce myself. Before dedicating myself to dog training full-time, my journey in the dog world took me to the highest levels of competition available in Flyball. Believe it or not, I started competing at only 9 years old! I competed on a global stage and achieved prestigious titles at Crufts and the British Flyball Association Championships, - all while breaking records along the way. This competitive background has instilled a sense of discipline, perseverance, and a winning spirit that I bring to my dog training endeavours.

My journey with dogs isn't limited to training. I am also an active participant in the sport of PSA (Protection Sports Association). My partner in this journey is my two year old Belgian Malinois, Koda. Together, we have already achieved our Protection Dog Certificate and are now working towards our Level 1 and 2 certification.

If you're facing any unwanted behavioral issues or simply want to expand your skill set, don’t hesitate to get in touch!

My primary goal is to help dogs and their owners develop a positive and harmonious relationship. I want to ensure that both dog and owner have a fulfilling and enjoyable experience with us and go on to lead a happier and more relaxed lifestyle. My aim is to create well-behaved, happy, and confident dogs while educating owners on effective communication and training techniques.

Manager - DOG TRAINER

Michael Shepphard

Michael is one of the trainers here at Revolution Dog Training, having dogs nearly his entire life, but in the past 4 years really dove head first into the world of dog training and the mindset behind the dogs.
Meeting Madi at a dog sport show and then became part of the team shortly after, using the knowledge to help with client dogs.

We asked Mike for a brief run down of how he got into the training side of the dog world.

"After getting a German Shepherd which ended up being a very high drive working dog, the training side took a much more serious role. Starting to go to seminars to understand how to make sure the dog was getting the right outlets etc, it slowly started becoming a real part of my life. Which I couldn't have been more happy about! 4 years later I now have 1 Belgian Malinois and 1 Dutch Herder. I am very happy to now be able to share the skills I have learnt over the years and help others get the same enjoyment and pleasure out of their own dogs."
Social Media manager

Charlotte

Charlotte is the social media manager here at Revolution Dog Training, previously coming to Madi for some help regarding some behavioural problems and the rest is history.
Charlotte is in charge of all you see on our social media platforms and answering instagram and facebook messages.

We asked Charlotte if she is able to tell us how she got into the wonderful world of dogs.

"Growing up I was always desperate for a dog but my parents were never keen. At 18 I decided to take matters into my own hands and got my very own little cockapoo, Margot. Despite being absolutely in love with her, I quickly felt overwhelmed. I had no idea just how much work went into owning a dog and made it even harder for myself when I decided to get another one, Daisy, just 6 months later. I got in contact with Madi when Margot’s behaviour and over-excitement was getting too much and very quickly fell in love with the world of dog training.
My whole world revolves around my girls and I’m very passionate about giving dogs the best possible chance of living a long, happy and fulfilled life.
I am overjoyed to be the social media manager for Revolution Dog Training, it’s wonderful to see the progress our clients make and I feel very lucky to be a small cog in this machine.”

Charlotte is always on hand to help everyone and anyone she can, very welcoming and easy to talk to.

Join us in welcoming and apperceiving the hard work Charlotte puts into all the social media that everyone see's.
