“Alex was amazing with Patch, our Jack Russell on our home visit. Patch has some behaviour issues particularly around people entering the home who he does not know or only sees rarely. Alex had such great knowledge and it was clear this is his passion and he knows his stuff. He anticipated each behaviour Patch was about to show, and taught us the ways we can do the same and correct it before any issues. If you are looking for an honest dog trainer who will show you how to do things the right way and not cut corners, this is your guy! Would definitely recommend, hopefully will book in a refresher soon!”

“Alex helped me understand my new blind rescue dog’s attitude and worrying behaviour towards my over friendly cat! He worked with us on patient repetitive exercises to show the dog that I am boss and that he is required to give the cat space! I have much to do but I’m so glad to have had Alex round! I am an experienced dog owner.... I was just lost on what to do with my current problem! I would highly recommend this guy! 10/10!”

What English Setters are like to train

The English Setter is a gentle, elegant gundog bred to range widely, find birds by scent and set them for the gun, and it has one of the sweetest temperaments of any sporting breed. Setters are affectionate, sociable, sensitive and slow to mature, with high exercise needs and a nose that takes over outdoors.

Recall, pulling and separation anxiety are what owners most often ask about, along with a general inability to settle in young dogs. English Setters shut down under harsh handling and thrive on encouragement and reward. 1-2-1 sessions at the field, with long-line recall work and scent as the reward, suit the breed, and puppy training from 8 weeks builds good habits early.

Every price is on the prices page.
