Matt & Jazz
July 24, 2023 at 5:49 pmWe started with Alex in the Puppy Gundog class when Jazz was around 12 weeks old. The positive training methods and structure of each training block helped us to make steady progress. We’re now 18 months down the track and continue to enjoy our training with Alex. She makes it fun, is knowledgeable and is always positive/encouraging even when I’ve felt things are not coming together.

Lee & Otok
July 24, 2023 at 6:12 pmI have a black lab and have training with Alex for over a year and a half now. Under her guidance she has got us to gun dog level 2 and we are on track for our level 3. She is brilliant at not only managing a lively 2 year old lab but me when he decides he knows better! A truly superb trainer who that has a superb ability to know what the dog is thinking before they or the owner does!

Thank you , Sundays are always an eye opener
Otok wants to please and will keep you on your toes
Great progress both of you well done .
Alexandra (and Ruby)
July 24, 2023 at 7:30 pmAlex is brilliant. We started a gundog training class with her, which we could not finish sadly, but the sessions we attended were great. We also met with Alex 1-2-1 to work with our reactive dog and she was great at teaching us how to best support Ruby and putting both our dog and us (especially me) at ease. She is very knowledgeable, patient, calm, and kind. Couldn’t recommend her enough.

July 24, 2023 at 8:40 pmThank you for your kind words , we have to put the dog first Ruby needed a different approach we listened to her and I am glad the 121 training was helpful .

July 25, 2023 at 1:45 pmI have a 5 year old Labrador and 2 year old Cocker Spaniel. Both are responding really well to Alex’s fun gun dog training. The training is broken down into simple steps, sometimes with video reminders, that allow you to practice the steps at home. Alex seems to be able to work magic with them…I just need to practice more to reinforce the training!! I would definitely recommend the gun dog training with Alex.

Dawn and Mabel
July 25, 2023 at 8:51 pmI started doing Alex’s gun dog training with Mabel just over a year ago. We started by doing a 6-week course and have been hooked ever since! Alex is a great trainer…she is patient, breaks activities down and focuses on what the dogs need next. Mabel has made amazing progress since starting the classes and she loves going to them each week.

July 26, 2023 at 8:17 pmI have done a variety of courses with Alex and have thoroughly enjoyed each one. She is so calm and patient with both the dogs and handlers which gives you so much confidence to progress. Alex also makes sure each dog gets individual attention in class and with her wealth of knowledge can tailor things to people’s different needs. Already looking forward to the next course – highly recommend Alex!

Betsy is a little star in the making
You are a pleasure to teach .
Fiona and Biffy
July 26, 2023 at 8:36 pmBiffy started gundog training last year and what he lacks in natural talent he makes up for in sheer enthusiasm ….. he loves this class!!! Alex is a fab teacher, extremely patient, makes the classes great fun, for dog and owner and is really knowledgeable.
What has been particularly helpful is learning how to recall to the whistle. Biffy has learnt good behaviour off lead and a consistent recall, even with distractions.
I would thoroughly recommend Alex’s class, she’s lovely!

Andrew and Arlo
July 29, 2023 at 1:40 pmArlo (a GSP) and I have been training with Alex since he was about 6 months old. The structure and consistency of Alex’s classes are really helpful and constructive and it is a joy to watch your dog develop and respond to what we learn through her sessions. Taking a break over summer but we will be back to continue with the progression!

Hello Andrew
July 31, 2023 at 12:08 pmThank you Andrew
Arlo and yourself are a pleasure to teach see you soon .
Victoria & Margot
July 30, 2023 at 5:47 pmSince starting gundog classes with Alex last year my dog has really grown in confidence and ability. Alex is patient, explains things clearly and keeps classes fun.
Alex gives each dog the attention they need and really understands their different strengths / needs. I couldn’t recommend Alex more, we always look forward to our weekend class and will continue our training for the foreseeable!

August 17, 2023 at 8:41 pmAlex’s classes are brilliant. Her training of both myself and Grayson are faultless. Started with her when Grayson was 5 months, he’s now 18months and she has got us through Gundog grade 1 and 2 assessments and working towards grade 3. Her classes are always fun and very informative the highlight of mine and Graysons week. Thank you Alex.

I remember the phone call we had when Grayson was a pup , you are both a pleasure to teach and have in class .
Moira and Blythe
September 27, 2023 at 10:28 amAlex has a lovely relaxed approach to helping you train your dog, she ensures you are both calm and have fun, whilst learning new skills. I began with puppy gun dog training with my 10 month cocker earlier this year and I am going back for the progressive course.
Blythe and I use the skills we learnt in the first class every day.

Josh
October 23, 2023 at 7:33 amAlex was absolutely fantastic at showing us how to train our puppy Rotweiller. Very patient and clear with instructions, even tailored each exercise for the specific needs of the individual dogs in the class. Will definitely be doing some more courses with Alex with our Rottie and any future dogs that join our family!

Ila Bommayya
October 23, 2023 at 10:44 amAlex is a fantastic teacher who has a very good understanding of puppys’ behaviour. She gave me very useful tips to manage my 5 month old Cavapoo’s never ending curiosity and excitement. Thoroughly enjoyed the Puppy life skills course and would highly recommend it for puppy mums and dads.

Danielle and Daphne
October 25, 2023 at 10:47 amWe have completed both puppy fundamentals and puppy gun dog training with Alex and found both blocks of training both very helpful and extremely rewarding. Alex really knows how to get the best from both you and your dog, and always has fun, novel ideas to keep them engaged and learning. I love working with her gentle, positive reinforcement approach which our Labrador has thrived under. Alex is always ready to answer questions and has lots of different strategies for dealing with different temperaments and breeds. At 6 months old our pup has the best recall of any dog on our walks and understands several important commands. We have also learn many strategies to keep her engaged and positively distracted in busy or challenging environments. Highly recommend working with Alex
Josie and Nick (and Frank)
October 31, 2023 at 7:48 pmWe started the classes with out 13 week old German Shepherd. Alex was so helpful, giving us tips on socialisation as well as obedience, and always making it clear how to keep up the training at home. We saw great results and would definitely recommend!!

Jacqui & Pippa
June 2, 2024 at 1:36 pmMyself and my GSP, Pippa have been attending Gun Dog Training classes for a while now and she has made such amazing progress. Both of us have learnt such a lot from Alex, and Pippa has gone from a wayward pup to passing gun dog grade 1 then passing grade 2 with distinction!
Alex’s classes are well structured and she knows what works for each dog, and makes every session very enjoyable. Definitely recommend!

You have done amazingly well with Pippa
Time and patience plus putting in lots of hard work has truly paid off .
Harriet, Tim and Cohn the dog
July 24, 2023 at 5:11 pmWe would highly recommend Alex and her puppy gundog classes. The sessions were really great fun for us and our pup. They are well-structured, clear instructions and really impactful training to take home. Since attending, we feel a much stronger connection and understanding with Cohn, she’s so much more attentive and she loves training. When we started, there was no way we’d have her off lead in a park but now her recall is brilliant and she wants to stay close by. We loved these classes so much that we are continuing with the progressive class. Would highly recommend!
