Alex dealt with Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Puppy management, Recall
Alex was really friendly and explained everything in great detail. He also went above and beyond in helping with Jerry’s behavioural issues. The main issue I have been having with Jerry is his walking on the lead. After the session the difference is night and day and Jerry is no longer pulling anywhere near what he used to. Alex also shows us how to correct behaviour issues such as jumping up and mouthing. Jerry has previously not been allowed in the front room because he got too giddy but has since been sat in there with us every night. Would highly recommend to anyone thinking of booking.
Trainer note from Alex
Once the are confident out on a walk most young dogs start to pull a bit, but certain breeds I meet pull more than others. Jerry was one of these breeds. I have already had some feed back from Jerry’s owner that he is now walking so much better to heel. Im absolutely delighted.

Alex was excellent. Clear practical advice to help BBC with our lovely bit boisterous 9 month old labrador Hector. His walking on the lead has become so much better since our training session and we have the tools to deal with other situations too. We would highly recommend Alex to anyone.
Trainer note from Alex
Great session and I was delighted with how quickly he walked well to heel. Not all issues can be improved quiet so quickly but with practice and consistency we can improve all behaviours. Keep up the good work.

My dog training session with Alex Fraser went well.
Alex was very approachable and patient with my dog. There is no doubt that Alex is a dog lover. Pyro appeared to be very relaxed. I received several training tips from Alex that were easy to follow and which I continue to work on to this day. I am pleased with the training and my pup is behaving better as a result.
Thanks Alex.
Trainer note from Alex
Overall Pyro was a well behaved young dog and I loved working with him. His owner however just wanted him to listen better and walk better on his lead. By the end of the first session he walked really well to heel and was listening better in the home. Iys amazing what can be achieved in less than 3 hours.

Had a great training experience with Alex. Its still early days but it's going well with the training. I can see some changes already. The harness I got off Alex is brilliant.
Trainer note from Alex
I love multi dog jobs as its really interesting to see how dogs interact and how they frequently mirror each other’s behaviours. After a slightly challenging start, as one of the dogs was quite vocal, I was delighted with how well they both did! By the end of the session there we certainly far less chatting from the dogs. Can’t wait to catch up in a few weeks to see how that are both doing.

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!
