Get to Know Me!
My name is Alexis, and I have dedicated the last 16 years to working with dogs. My journey began at a local dog training club, and since then, I have pursued continuous education in canine behaviour and management.
I hold Level 5 university diploma from Harper Adams University, where I also achieved merit in advanced practical skills with the PDTI (Pet dog training instructors)
I’m passionate about staying updated with the latest findings and regularly participate in courses and workshops to enhance my knowledge.
As a qualified Dog Bite Prevention Educator and a member of the PDTI and accredited dog trainer with the IAABC, I am committed to helping dogs and aspiring trainers alike.
I am currently owned by rescue Cockerpoo, Dinger!
One of the best ways for dog trainers to learn is by observing and paying attention to their own and other peoples dogs needs.
I work by changing the emotional responses of the dogs when working with behaviour, my classes are designed to be fun and engaging for both dog and owner, my main aim in my work is for more dogs to be understood, listened to and given the chance to live their best life, whilst helping their owners too!
My work history has been very dog related over the years from running my own dog walking company for 10 years, working in Rescue as an animal welfare manager and working for the Kennel Club as an Assured Breeder Assessor. In every job I have educated myself and learnt so much from the dogs and people I've met along the way.

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!

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.
