“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.”

“We asked Alex for help after we adopted a rescue dog. We’d had Ernie 6 months and he still would not interact with my husband or son, hiding under tables, in corners out of reach and shaking when approached by them. Alex came to our home last weekend for a 2 hour session and immediately interacted with Ernie, even though he is very nervous around men. Alex gave us an understanding of what was going on in ernies head, advice and tips on how to approach Ernie, what to expect of him, and what to ask of him. Alex has a great understanding of dogs and everything he said made sense. Ernie is slowly coming round to trusting my husband and son using the methods Alex demonstrated. He will now sit on my husbands lap, which is a huge step for him. I would thoroughly recommend using his services .”
The Pit Bull Terrier is a prohibited type under section 1 of the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991. It is an offence to own one unless a court has placed the dog on the Index of Exempted Dogs. An exempted dog must be neutered, microchipped and insured, and in public it must always be muzzled and on a lead held by someone aged 16 or over. It can't be bred from, sold, given away or abandoned. Read the GOV.UK guidance on banned dogs for the full conditions.
Alex works with exempted adult dogs only and asks to see the Certificate of Exemption at the first session. 1-2-1 training at your home or at the secure field covers muzzle training, loose lead walking and calm around other dogs, always muzzled and on the lead in line with the exemption. Group days off the lead, outings and the Big Dog Club are not possible. If your dog shows fear or aggression, start with a 1-2-1 behaviour session (£160 for 1.5 hours).
If you are not sure whether your dog is a prohibited type, don't guess: speak to your local police dog legislation officer.
