“I was having trouble handling out Alapaha, as he was listening to my partner and not me. Alex come round to do some one on one training with me and he started as soon as he walk through the door. Our Alapaha is a very strong boy and had some nasty habits we needed to break. Alex was straight to work spent 2.5hours with us the first session and was already a massive difference. I asked Alex to come over again as I was to confident. But come over for hour as that was all we really needed. Few months down the line it is so much easier and less stressful with our dog. Still some more work to go but by training with the tips Alex gave us we will get there. Thank you Alex”

“I had an amazing session with Alex and my little terrier. Having never had experience with smaller dogs before, I needed some training too! Alex was very patient and knowledgeable and professional and made all the difference with my dog. I feel much more happy and confident as a result of his visit! Highly recommended!”
The Basenji is a central African hunting hound, famous for not barking and for being more cat than dog in temperament. Basenjis are clean, curious, independent, intelligent and inclined to use that intelligence for their own ends. They bond with their family but are not naturally obedient, and they have a strong prey drive and a talent for escaping.
Recall, chasing and destructive behaviour when bored are the requests we hear, along with reserve towards strangers. Basenjis will not work for praise alone, so training uses what they want, usually food or play, in short sessions. Reward-based 1-2-1 sessions at the field, with long-line recall work, suit the breed, and puppy training from 8 weeks helps enormously.
