You’re in
Safe hands.

As a Fear-Free Certified Trainer, I use fun, effective training techniques based on positive reinforcement and backed by science to address behavioural problems. You can rest assured, I do not use out-of-date techniques to scare, punish or hurt your dog to change their behaviour.

What Clients Are saying

  • Through Alex's support, Nigella is more obedient, responsive and confident. If you're looking for a skilled trainer who truly cares about your dog's wellbeing, I can't recommend Dig Dog Training enough.

    - Ange & Nigella

  • Would 1000% recommend anyone looking at adopting/rescuing to consult with Alex to ensure you're making the best choice for you, your family, and your prospective new pal.

  • Alex helped me and my rescue hound Celie so much! They're super knowledgeable and enthusiastic and had heaps of ideas right away for how Celie could get the stimulation she needed. And their suggestions built on our existing bond, and resources we already had, which I really appreciated. Since I put Alex's plan into action Celie is happier and more relaxed now by far."
