The Consultant for All Things Dog

Are you a dog friendly workplace and are looking for help with creating a more harmonious office environment? Do you need professional insights for your dog product development? 

I have extensive experience within the dog training and behaviour industry as well as the corporate world, having worked in Consumer Marketing and Public Relations for several years prior to becoming a Dog Trainer and Separation Anxiety Behaviour Consultant. 

Starting my dog training career in London (UK) in 2016 I’ve been fortunate to have worked with local as well as international clients, and I continue to work on an international level since I’ve moved to Malmö, Sweden, in 2021. 

“We are a working space which has always welcomed dogs into our office. Though it was easy to navigate with 30 employees, it became quite challenging when we started to grow and scale up to more than 80 employees. Still, we wanted to keep the dogs in the office but allow everyone to feel welcomed so we approached Alexandra to help us with that. First, she helped us with the dog policies and new rules and guided our space to be inclusive for both humans and dogs. The session she held with all of the employees was extremely insightful for everyone. It helped us to situate the need for the limits. Alexandra helped everyone to feel safe in the office environment. We are gladly sharing with Alexandra the value of having the focus on the needs of dogs without forgetting to respond to the needs of humans. Now we have a functioning dog-friendly office with the help of Alexandra”

Improving the day to day lives of our dogs

is my obsession and in addition to the training and behavioural work I do with dogs and their humans, I also offer services directed at the corporate world including:

Dogs in the workplace

Let’s be honest, dogs make every space better, and that includes a workplace. BUT (and this is a big but…) it’s important to meet a dog’s needs in an office environment. As well as, of course, ensuring the humans know how to behave around the pooches (those who are happy to interact with dogs and those who are not…which is totally fine…hard to imagine, but fine..).

My work is about how to create the perfect environment for an office dog. Yes, you can train them certain behaviours that will help them to settle and be calm but overall it’s about meeting the dog’s need in a, well, rather unnatural environment. My services include:

  • Creating a more welcoming environment for dogs at your office / workplace 

  • Your company’s policy for Pets in the Workplace 

  • Staff Presentations: educating on all things dogs, from how to behave around dogs in the workspace to learning about dog communication
