Aleksandra Borawska

Hi, I'm Aleks!

I help people with crazy, lovable, naughty young spaniels (and other working breed pets) to build a happy harmonious and fun-filled life together. I support them in learning the skills they need, so that they can go wherever they want and to have amazing adventures together. I help them understand their adolescent spaniel, discover what's going on underneath the surface and create an amazing connection.

I am an accredited dog training instructor with IMDT (Institute of Modern Dog Trainers), a Mantrailing UK instructor and a UK College of Scent Dogs instructor. I'm currently working towards a gundog training instructor certification with Gundog Trainers Academy.

I am also a canine behaviour practitioner, with over 10 years of intensive practical experience, hundreds of successful behaviour modification programmes and an extensive continued professional development in dog behaviour and training.

I live in the Welsh mountains with my 6 dogs, including a working cocker, springer spaniel, a labrador retriever, a collie mix and a two staffordshire bull terriers. We train and compete in several dog sports and training projects, including scent detection, competition obedience, working gundog tests and GRC/Canine Athletics. In winter, I'm part of a beating team on three local shoots.
