I'm Alex Wallace, founder and dog behaviourist at The Dogs by Alex. Read more about my dog training sessions below, and I look forward to meeting you and your special dog!
In-person dog training
My aim is to help you develop a happy bond between you and your dog - one that’s less stressful and that forms an ongoing positive relationship. It’s a special thing when you and your dog are relaxed and in sync together.
My training is based on balanced leadership, consistency, clear direction and tailored plans to ensure you and your dog can thrive together. My dog training sessions are geared towards achieving your goals over a period of time, always 1-2-1 and always in person, avoiding generalisations and a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach. Examples of what I could work with you on include:
Basic obedience • Reactivity • Resource-guarding • Hyper activity • Unwanted chewing • Toilet training • Jumping up • Recall • Settling in public places
I’m based in London but also cover Surrey, Kent and Sussex. You can read more about me here if you’re interested!

“I can’t believe the difference in my pups behaviour after only one training session with Alex! My dog is now able to relax around other dogs - before this she was lunging and barking at them regularly. It made walks pretty stressful but I now feel confident with my dog in busy environments. Alex taught me how to redirect her attention back to me with a simple but highly effective “focus” cue. Absolute game changer! It’s also helped in other situations such as preventing her from jumping up at people. My dog loved Alex and I found him to be super friendly, professional and he explained things really clearly. I’d highly recommend his services for anyone looking for a knowledgeable and ethical dog trainer who gets fast results.”
