What people are saying about our behaviour consultations
Our little dog Edward Scissorhands is a rescue dog, and has some nasty habits, like biting our house guests and attacking other dogs. Alex was so wonderful with us all, providing heaps of support to us. She took a thorough history of Edward, and provided heaps of resources and a tailored plan to assist us. His behaviour has improved greatly, and he hasn't bitten a single adult since the training! Our Edward will never be perfect, but he's certainly on the right track!

Alex is incredible! Our lab, Otis, is quite an anxious boy and he was not keen on new people - we were worried about him biting people as he'd been aggressive towards numerous strangers. Alex is so patient, her knowledge is astounding, and how she worked with Otis was wonderful! We've all learnt so much from her over a few months, and the change in Otis is unbelievable. He's more comfortable around new people - he'll let them touch him and has learned that he can walk away, rather than getting defensive and agitated. He's so much happier, and he's so eager to learn new things! We could not recommend Alex enough, she's absolutely incredible!
Jess & Otis
Before Alex Shelby was an aggressive, scared and highly strung dog, who had nipped three people, hated guests at our house, barked at dogs and people and only showed love to close family. We were in a rock and a hard place, to lock her up constantly or put her down, which neither of us wanted to do. Alex travelled to us and reassured us where the problems were, and with Alex’s training, guidance, patience, and love. She taught us the skills and tricks to help Shelby be her best self, and honestly, she saved her life!
We highly recommend Alex to anyone who needs help with their best friend who has behaviour issues to be their best selves.
Thank you so much, ALEX!! ♥️
