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 former 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 behaviour modification programmes.
My life is all about dogs, voracious learning, training projects and outdoor adventures. Whenever possible, shared with friends and their dogs.
I live in the breath-taking Afan Valley in South Wales 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 disciplines, including Scurry Dog, scent detection, competition obedience, working gundog tests and GRC/Canine Athletics. In winter, during the shooting season, we're part of the beating team on two local shoots.
