Get to Know Me!

My name is Alexis and I have been working with dogs for the last 16 years. I started out by helping at a local dog training club.

Then I started my studies and still continue to learn today. It is very important for trainers to continue learning,

keeping themselves up to date with the latest scientific findings

plus new ideas on how to help dogs with specific behaviours. I try to do several courses/workshops/seminars a year.

My qualifications

I have a level 5 university diploma in Canine Behaviour and Management from Harper Adams university.

I gained merit in my advanced instructors' practical skills with the PDTI at Harper Adams University.

I now tutor once a year to help other aspiring trainers.

I have completed courses/workshops with School of canine science, The Academy of modern canine behaviour and training and the PDTI

I am a qualified Dog Bite Prevention Educator

I am currently a professional member of the PDTI and An Accredited dog trainer with the IAABC.

I have completed a course on Separation Anxiety with a certified separation anxiety trainer.

My work life

I started my dog walking business back in 2009 and at the same time I was helping at a local dog training club.

I was an assessor for the Kennel Club, assessing breeders for 3 years.

I believe good breeding is essential and would urge anyone looking for a puppy to look at the Assured Breeders Scheme list.

I was also an Animal Welfare Manager at a rescue for 3 years which included dogs,

it is so sad to see so many dogs needing a space in rescue due to not having a good upbringing or training.

We owe it to the dogs to do our best for them.

Throughout this time, I have continued to run my dog training business part time and

I now train full time and love every minute of it.

I am owned by a rescue poodle cross called Dinger!

Are you struggling with your dogs reactivity?

Our advertising reactivity training program is designed to help you and your dog build confidence and improve behaviour is challenging. With expert guidance and proven techniques, you can enjoy stress-free walks and harmonious visits. I have three options for you to consider and transform your dog's reactivity into reliability!

1. Zoom consultations. This is the more affordable option and can also be done anywhere in the UK. After being sent videos to analyse we would have the initial zoom consultation where a history etc will be taken. The training would then begin. We would have fortnightly zoom consults for 8 weeks. The great thing about todays technology is that videos and virtual observation can be very effective. Each zoom is also followed by an email report.
