I'm Alex Wallace, owner and dog behaviourist at The Dogs by Alex. Read more about my dog training courses 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 in sync.
My training is based on positive reenforcement, clear direction, goal-setting, and tailored plans. No dog or owner are the same, and it’s only through clarity and consistency that we can achieve a calm and positive relationship. This is the main reason why my packages are geared towards achieving your goals over a period of time, and always 1-2-1, 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 speak highly enough of Alex and the photographs he took of our two dogs. He was absolutely brilliant with them, and the whole process was really enjoyable and relaxed. Our dogs are quite a handful so it could easily have descended into mayhem in less calm and professional hands! The images are just beautiful.”
“Alex was such a pro with my dog, Bullet. He created a super chill and relaxed environment for the dog to be in, she was incredibly calm considering she can sometimes be shy and nervous in new situations. I will definitely be letting other people know that Alex is the guy to go to for their pet portraits.”
“Alex’s professionalism and efficiency was inspiring. His natural comfort and ability to work with my dog Teddy, a somewhat nervous and cautious rescue, achieved greatness.”
