Alex was excellent put both Archie and myself at ease straight away
Trainer note from Alex
I loved meeting Archie - he wis such a lovely dog with an amazing temperament. Overall Archie was already a really well behaved dog, but there were a couple of things his owner needed help with. By the time we had done some work around the home and got Archie listening even better to his owner, we managed to sort the other issues. Sometimes it just needs another pair of eyes to resolve issues.

Where to start. I have 3 Dachshunds and 2 of them are nuts. I’m sorry I love them but they can act so wild. On Alex’s arrival I was somewhat sceptical if he could help us. They were barking, fighting and jumping frantically. An hour into the session the dogs began to respond to commands Alex taught me. And by the end of the session they stopped barking wouldn’t leave a room with out my say so and they were absolutely Exhausted as were we. When Alex left I began to cry as I have really poor health conditions and I thought I may have to get my dogs a new family. Alex thank you for making this home a happy and peaceful one in only one session. I can’t wait for the next.
Trainer note from Alex
This was one of the most rewarding sessions I have ever done and I have met a large number of challenging dogs. Trying to do the initial chat was a challenge as it was difficult to hear each other due to the amount of barking. Daschunds may be small but can bark very loudly. By the end of the session even I was surprised at how well we had done and I can’t wait tom catch up with them all in a few weeks.

Alex the trainer was very patient professional approachable and put us all at ease. The information he gave us to deal with our dogs behaviour has been life changing, we can actually go for a walk with a dog who is not as anxious and noisy making for an enjoyable walk. I cannot believe how the simple changes we have now made have made such a difference in under a week.
Trainer note from Alex
This was a really rewarding session, and although I know what I teach can help, even I was surprised at how calm all 3 dogs were when we took them out for a walk at the end of their first training session. Can’t wait to catch up in a few weeks to find out how they are all doing. Keep up the good work!

Alex dealt with Aggression, Pulling, Recall
Alex was insightful and engaging, he delivered clear, concise information, with a touch of humour, that was easy to understand and digest. His approach is very straightforward and the skills he has presented us with, seem simple enough to implement. We are seeing improvements already and we’re looking forward to seeing Dudley’s behaviour continue to improve over time. I’m confident in the training that has been provided so far. Thank you Alex for your support 😊

Alex was great, very relaxed to be around but got the job done! Really liked how he wasn’t too strict but his techniques made a difference already! We’ve only had one session and Raffy is responding well, looking forward to the next one!

Alex was absolutely wonderful - from the minute he stepped through our front door he reassured us both that any issues we were facing could be corrected with a bit of patience and consistency. He spent as much time training us as the owners as he did Rudi which was super helpful and gave us the confidence to continue the training after he had left. In the weeks since our first lesson we have noticed how much more settled Rudi is and how well he is reacting to being in a routine with lots of mental stimulation to tire him out. As a beagle Rudi can go for hours physically and so it was vital that we nailed some mentally challenging activities for him so he was more settled and started to get some much needed sleep. We can't wait to see Alex again to start taking the next steps in Rudi's training.
Trainer note from Alex
Really enjoyed this session like always. Rudi is quite an excitable young dog and doesn’t know how to settle. With any dog its important we get the basics correct - plenty of sleep and the right food and right amount of food.
I was impressed with how he did on the initial session recently I went back to see them for their first follow up session. I was delighted with his progress. He is still an excitable young dog, but he did settle quicker. Looking forward to catching up with them all again.

Unable to put into words the incredible positive impact Alex’s support, training and guidance has made. Lunar has made leaps of progress and we are continuing to work on the tools given to us. Thank you so much
Trainer note from Alex
The initial session is a longer session and a lot can be achieved, in general follow up support is required to build on the training and develop the owners skills. This initial session went really well and I am delighted to hear from Lunar’s parents that she is doing so much better. Keep up the good work!

Alex was amazing with our dog Rosie his explanations of what we needed to do and demonstrations where brilliant would recommend him to everyone
Trainer note from Alex
Really enjoyed the session and both dogs and owners did incredibly well. By the end of the first session, both dogs who used to pull a lot walked beautifully to heel. Looking forward to catching up with them all.

Alex dealt with Aggression, Barking, Separation anxiety
Amazing first session!! We have a very anxious 2 Yr old GSD. He is extremely reactive to strangers. After our first session Alex was able to walk alongside him without reaction which is a massive achievement. He was also able to be in the house without Bruce going crazy. Training was explained really well and the difference already has been great. Excited to see how we can build on this to help settle Bruce's anxiety.
Trainer note from Alex
Really enjoyed this training session! We don’t know a lot about Bruce’s past and they have not had him for long. I meet a lot of nervous GSD who are often unsure about strangers and Bruce was not happy when I first entered their home. I was delighted with how he did, especially that fact that he allowed me to walk next to him on a walk as he has a tendency to bark and lunge at strangers. Since the first session I have already received an update advising how much calmer he has become which is great to hear. Keep up the good work!

Alex dealt with Separation anxiety
Alex was brilliant - he really got to know us and Miso and set out a clear plan for us. He was very patient and professional, and he made us all feel really comfortable.
Trainer note from Alex
I loved meeting Miso and her parents and I was really impressed with how well she listened to them both, but the problem they were having was leaving her home alone. Separation Anxiety can be a difficult behavioural issue to fix, but with time and patience, it can be resolved. I’ve already had an update to say that things are moving in the right direction. Keep up the good work.

Alex was knowledgeable, realistic and honest in his approach. There was no judgement or question of what had been done or not from a training perspective.
Alex was able to give simple quick ideas and explanations in order to get the best from Brody.
Can't wait to see how he helps get the best from this boy who is clearly cleverer than we thought!
Trainer note from Alex
Puppies can be a challenge - even to those that have had dogs all their lives. There is also no quick fix for any young dog, but with the right techniques and body language I am confident we can make all dogs the best version of themselves.
