Aleksandra Borawska

Hi, I'm Aleks!

I help people with crazy, lovable, sassy young spaniels to build a happy life together.

I support them in learning the skills they need to be able to bring their dog anywhere with them and have wonderful adventures together.

I help them decipher their adolescent spaniel, discover how to harness their talents and create a true partnership.

I am a co-founder of Scurry Dog, a dog sport inspired by spaniels and developed for all active pets who want to play gundog games without bangs, guns and birds.

I'm 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've got 11 years of intensive practical experience in training and behaviour modification, with thousands of happy clients and successful programmes.

My life is all about dogs, continuous learning and practice, every single day.

I live in the Welsh mountains with my 5 dogs, including a working Cocker, Springer Spaniel, a Labrador Retriever, a Collie mix and a Staffordshire Bull Terrier. 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 my local shoots with Raven, the cocker.
