Hi, I’m George, Dotty dog’s newest trainer!
My life with dogs began as a child with two bouncy boxers in the family, Bruno and Murphy. They were so patient and tolerant, to me they were the best dogs in the whole world! However, this all changed when out on a walk. They would pull on the lead, bark at passersby and be very reactive to other dogs. These early experiences first sparked my interest in training and behaviour and over the years we had several dogs in the family, from spaniels and hounds, terriers to lurchers, and a few wonderful crossbreeds and rescues. Having experience with lots of different dogs has taught me to always consider the individual needs of the dogs in my training.
Fast forward through the years and my professional career working with dogs has taken me from studying canine health and nutrition, welfare, behaviour and training, to volunteering in rescue and now as part of the Dotty Dogs family. The best part of my job as a trainer is seeing the progress dogs and their guardians make together. During our fun sessions we will work together to get the best possible outcome for you, and your dog.

"Alex has been fantastic for our dogs.
She has taken the time to observe our two young dogs in their home environment to help us fix the issues we’ve been having.
All her input definitely works and we have seen a
vast improvement in our dogs behaviour."
"We have had 4 sessions with Alex now, as part of the six week puppy training course, and so glad we signed up!
Alex has been brilliant and has a really caring and empathetic method to training and building confidence. She has been so patient with me (I think I need training as much as the puppy!) and I can already see such a difference in the little one’s behaviour!"
"Alex has been extremely helpful us to understand Theo’s needs and behaviour issues... Giving us so many training techniques to help him focus, work on recall training, scent work at home.
Alex has a calm, supportive approach to training and so much knowledge. We would highly recommend Alex to anyone with behavioural issues with their dog."
Welcome to Dotty Dog Training!
I'm Alex and I have been working with dogs for over 21 years. Over that time, I have been lucky enough to be a Guide Dog Trainer, making a life-changing difference to people who need it the most!
I am also a certified Family Dog Mediator, a Kids Around Dogs Professional, WSDA Scent Instructor and a Distinctive Dog Trainer with the Pet Professional Network.
My own experience having an anxious and reactive dog means that I can truly empathise with dog owners and talk in a language you can understand. I will always give honest and reliable advice so that you can achieve the best possible outcome for you and your dog.
I can't wait to work with you and your dog to help you develop beautiful behaviour and a bond that lasts a lifetime!
