“I took our two year old bulldog to see Alex As he had issues with other dogs while out walking. Alex was great & reassured me that It can be corrected. Elton is much better on the lead, and we look forward to working with Alex again.”

“Alex was absolutely awesome with his good old no nonsense approach knowledge and experience with giving me the tools to beable to continue to train and manage my very will full rottie.Within the first session he had my bad boy sitting calmly walking beautifully on the lead and getting in and out of my car. Armed with the knowledge I have now got a very well rounded well majored and super obedient boy. I would only ever recommend Alex as a trainer.”
Labradoodles are a cross between a Labrador and a Poodle, and size, coat and character vary a lot, even within a litter. Most are friendly, clever and full of energy, with the Labrador's love of food and people and the Poodle's sharp mind. Standard-sized Labradoodles grow into big, strong dogs, which owners sometimes don't expect when they bring home a fluffy puppy.
The usual requests are pulling on the lead, jumping up at visitors, mouthing, and a recall that switches off around water and other dogs. Adolescence can be lively, from around six months to two years. Labradoodles need their brains worked as well as their legs: training games, searching for food and retrieve games tire them out far more than an extra walk.
Puppy training from 8 weeks gets manners in early, 1-2-1 sessions tackle pulling and recall in the places they happen, and Big Dog Club day training gives an energetic young Labradoodle company, exercise and practice at calm behaviour.
1-2-1 dog training for your Labradoodle, with you, at the field or at home.
Labradoodles are clever, energetic and often bigger than their owners expected. The usual reasons they come to us are pulling, jumping up, a recall that switches off around other dogs and water, and an adolescent who can't settle in the evening. Over a stay of at least three weeks, your Labradoodle trains every day to Alex's plan in real places: a loose lead past distractions, four paws on the floor with visitors, a recall that works in the park, and a proper off switch at home. Brain work matters as much as exercise for this cross, so every day includes both. On collection day Alex shows you the same handling and you practise together before you leave, so it lasts at home.
