TESTIMONIALS


Separation Anxiety Training Client

Emily & Scout, the Springer Spaniel

“I got in contact with Alex just after Christmas as I was struggling with my adolescent springer spaniels separation anxiety, where I couldn’t even leave the house for a couple of seconds without him getting very stressed and barking. Fast forward 3 months later, and with Alex’s help, I have recently just been able to leave for 35 minutes whilst Scout has stayed happy and relaxed, sleeping throughout. Alex has been an amazing source of guidance and support to us. She is incredibly knowledgeable about dog behaviour and body language and looks at the whole picture of your dogs life and what could be feeding into the behaviour they are displaying. She is kind and caring with her approach to working with dogs (as well as with the owners)! I have learnt a huge amount from her and I now feel confident and optimistic for the future as Alex has equipped me with the tools I need to progress Scout’s separation training. I cannot thank you enough Alex for all you have done for us. I am so grateful to have found you and would recommend Alex to anyone looking for support with separation anxiety for their dog - you won’t regret it.”


Rescue dog training

Marguerite And Bongo, the rescue mix

“Alexandra has helped us immensely with our 1 year old rescue dog that we got in December. We contacted her for loose leash walking but she has covered a whole variety of topics with us, such as desensitization, being home alone, adolescence & socialization. The many tools she taught us have helped us get a lot more engagement on walks but most importantly, it's helped us understand our dog's underlying emotions and improve our bond with him. Thanks to her, we are now better equipped to identify his needs and manage his environment. She has really great attention to detail and sent us very detailed reports after every session, which made it easier to remember everything we learn and put it in practice. She will definitely be my go-to when I need advice and support in the future!”


Hungarian Vizsla puppy training

Rich, Farida and Talisker, the Hungarian Vizsla 

If there were a movie called 'The Dog Whisperer,' it would be based on Alex.  She's incredible.  We have a male Vizsla - high energy, high intelligence, and a lot of work.  We've had several sessions with Alex, but even after just one we noticed a huge difference.  Of course, Alex's work isn't all about training the dog - it's about training you and the dog together, and she does this beautifully. My other half and I were both involved, and Alex was great at explaining why our pup behaved certain ways, what it meant, and how to work with it. It helped us identify stress, fear, excitement, dominance, etc and then how to manage those.  After each session Alex sends a really helpful summary sheet (because it's a lot to take in during the training itself) to help keep you on track - and she's really helpful at answering questions and trying to address problems remotely, too.  Plus she has lots of useful tips, tricks and recommendations for just dealing with everyday life with a dog.  We now have a healthy, happy pup who's growing in to a well-behaved adult dog, all thanks to Alex.  THANK YOU, ALEX!”


Bichon Havanaise

Kristine and Buffy, the Bichon-Havanais

“We had four puppy training courses with Alexandra. I only have praise and good things to tell about Alexandra's help and training. Both myself, my partner and of course our little puppy Buffy learned so much! I've had dogs throughout my childhood and thought i had a good grasp of how to train a puppy, but what Alexandra thought us blew my mind and it has done wonders with the training for our puppy. You can really feel how much she loves dogs and it is reflected in her positive training methods - and it really felt like every session was made specifically for our little puppy. After every session she sent us a summery of everything we went through and the different cues we taught Buffy that day. Also she was so good at recommending different stuff as well, such as food, collars/harness, toys etc. She was also fast to respond back if you had any questions or concerns in between sessions! I highly-highly recommend her, she was brilliant! And we appreciate everything she helped us with :).:


Rescue dog training

Fern, David & Daisy, the rescue Hound mix

“Alex has been helping us and our rescue dog, Daisy, for a few months, remotely, with a couple of behavioural issues/training needs, including separation anxiety and good lead walking! Alex is so knowledgeable and it’s obvious she has a great understanding of dogs behaviour and how they think! She is very patient and encouraging! She is always on hand to help with any questions and concerns we have ☺️.”


French Bulldog

Reena and Casper, the French Bulldog

“I came across Alex by pure chance on Instagram and boy am I glad I did.  Being a first time single mum to a 3 month old Frenchie was pretty daunting. I found so much conflicting information online. Alex gave me concise and very organised sessions each week covering everything from potty training to recall and park etiquette, lead walking to managing separation anxiety and nutrition. Not only did she follow each zoom session up with an email report the same day outlining what we had gone over, but she was available 24/7 via WhatsApp for instant advise on what to do in various scenarios from puppy being sick, to managing nipping and biting and stress peeing. Invaluable guidance, I cannot thank you enough Alex! For anyone considering it, the reviews speak for themselves, get in touch with Alex, you won’t regret it.”


Maltipoo

Andi and Teddy, the Maltipoo

“I did a lot of homework before I got my pup, but soon realised that there was a HUGE, HUGE amount to learn!  The single best thing that happened to me was meeting Alex!  She has an amazing ability to read animal behaviour and then come up with an approach to every element.  Always intelligent, accessible, enthusiastic and positive.  Generous with her knowledge and experience, flexible and kind to owners(!) - super-responsive and super-clear.  Deals with elements before things become a problem - anticipates superbly. Brilliant follow up notes after each session, which I constantly refer to. I know people say this, but honestly, I can't recommend Alex highly enough! Having Alex feels like you've got a safety net.”


Broholmer training

Chico, Josephine and Freya, the Broholmer

"We have been very happy to have Wolfgang's Way help out with our dog, she is very thorough and personalizes the training based on an initial orientation session, over the course of a couple sessions our dog has come to expect Wolfgang's Way and is always excited before and after a training session. we have seen significant improvement in our dog's behavior and we feel more secure as owners to continue with the knowledge we have gotten from Wolfgang's Way.

On top of training our dog, Wolfgang's Way has also thought us a lot about dog behavior and how to read that, how to more effectively give treats, how to minimize tension on the leash and the impact it can have on your dog just to name a few.

We did walks together with Wolfgang's Way but she has also taken our dog on walks herself, helping out with the day to day of managing a dog while also ensuring our dog gets to learn how to behave around triggers, resulting in happy dog-parents and most importantly a happy dog!

Wolfgang's Way was recommended by us by our neighbors and we would recommend her to others without hesitation.”


Anna and Roffe, the Labradoodle

“We have a standard Labradoodle, Roffe who is an almost two-year old happy teenager. Roffe is our first dog, and we did not have the tools to read his behavior and meet that with the wright activities and training. Alex has helped us understand the dog's needs and taught us how to respond to them in a positive and developing way with training both for us humans and for our fantastic dog.

In the trainings sessions we have focused om both reading the dogs behavior and needs with the goal to boost his confidence and at the same time practice everyday obedience.

Alex is very supporting and explains in an easy and constructive way. We see positive development every week.

Our goal is to one day be able to take a walk in the woods without a leach, we are soon there! Alex, Thanks for all support!”


Weronika, Sebastian and Bonita, the GSD mix

“We're amazed and delighted! Work with Alex is a pure pleasure. We received many tips and exercises which turned out to be sooo helpful for our reactive dog Bonita! She started to handle with her triggers and it's still getting better and better. Big big thanks! And of course- we highly recommend Alex!”


Stephanie, Charles and Atlas, the Labrador

“Alex worked with my husband and me to address some unwanted behaviours with our 3 year old Labrador Retriever, such as barking and dog-on-dog aggression. She really took the time to evaluate Atlas holistically, including some ongoing health issues, diet, etc and how that could be affecting her behaviour. Alex gave us very thorough instructions and different strategies on correcting the issues, and she kept us accountable on training. We really learned a lot and have a deeper understanding of our dog. She was a pleasure to work with!”


Hanna and Måns, the Cockapoo

I contacted Wolfgang’s Way to help me and my 1-year-old Cockapoo boy with communication and lose leash walking. I could not be happier with all the help and support I got from Alex! Not only do I understand my dog much better, after only 3 sessions I see a huge improvement in our daily life. We had tons of fun and already after our first meet I was looking forward to our weekly sessions with Alex and all the exercises that me and my dog get to have fun with together. I can highly recommend!”


Pug puppy training

Neeraj and Neo, the Pug

"Alex is a magician and you start seeing the difference in your dog/puppy's  behaviour from the first session itself. Me and my wife decided to get a pug puppy(Neo) and we wanted our Neo to have the best trainer possible. Based on excellent reviews, we went for a full puppy package from Alex. After getting the puppy, we were really overwhelmed for the first few days and frustrated with puppy biting. The day Alex came for the first training, we saw a huge difference in behaviour of our puppy. Every session was transformational and huge learning experience for both Neo and us. The greatest thing that I liked about Alex is her respect for Dogs. She was so patient with the training, taking smaller steps with Neo and made it really enjoyable for him. She taught us to respect his choice no matter what and don't force anything on him. One simple example is ask for your dog's permission before lifting him up and respect his choice. This really strengthen the bond between us and Neo. Finally I know that there are a bunch of info available on internet and we really watched hundreds of training videos but really speaking the execution is extremely important and having a trainer like Alex set you and your dog up for success for the entire life.”


Victor, Emily and Dama, the Tibetan Spaniel rescue mix

“We contacted Alex to help us with our newly arrived rescue with separation anxiety and a few behavior issues. Alex was always so attentive to answer our questions and guide us through the process of addressing those issues. She taught us skills to keep the training going even after we were “done” with the training, which is a continuous process throughout the life of our dog.

Alex is very thorough, organized, and always delivering on what she has agreed to with us. We feel confident that we have the right tools to continue our journey with our dog.

We highly recommend working with Alex, not only for her professionalism and extensive experience/knowledge of dogs, but also for the love that she shares in caring for dogs.”


Gold Retriever dog training

Tarika and Bernie, the Golden Retriever

“Alex is just wonderful, I cannot recommend her enough! I was sceptical about how online training would work but how wrong I was. Alex cares deeply about the dogs she helps, is experienced and gets the issue immediately. She is knowledgeable, compassionate and goes the extra mile in everything she does. We were lucky too have Alex help our lovely Golden Retriever Bernie with training and behaviour, he is a changed and happier dog now! I’m so glad we found her and will always continue too seek her help."


Jack Russell puppy training

Neli and Benji, the Jack Russell 

"I had the pleasure of coming across Alex's page when my dog was still a small puppy and am very happy that I found it. Alex helped us out not only by guiding with the amount of exercise and physical exertion with different toys during the growing stages, but also with settling, receiving guests, calmer walks, enrichment and most importantly, with separation anxiety training. We started making very encouraging progress once we started working with Alex and she has been a great support and encouragement both on good and not so good days. The meticulousness and attention to detail in dog's body language and training context shows how much she cares and wants to set up both the pet humans and the dog for success. She also provided great recommendations for further reading/watching/listening material when I asked. And the written summary reports are very helpful too! It's always a pleasure to learn from and with her and we are looking forward to having more sessions and making progress together!”


Australian Shepherd

Elisabeth, Mikkel and Willow, the Australian Shepherd 

“We have now taken a puppy course and private lessons with Wolfgang's Way, and it has fully paid off. We have learned even more ways to teach our clever, energetic girl how to navigate day-to-day life and how to hack tricky situations together. Alex has played such a valuable role in helping us bring our little natural herder through puppyhood and teenagehood, tackling one quirky dog behavior at a time.

It was a sincere pleasure to dive into Alex's methods, and her genuine interest and support are unparalleled. Alex always puts the dog's well-being in focus and tailors training and discussion to the dog's unique needs. We are so appreciative of her guidance and really stand by her methods over other alternatives in Malmö.

We will continue training with her--without a doubt! :)”


Separation anxiety training

Anne-Lacy and Pretzels, the Cavapoo

“Alex coached me through alone training my young doggo. She has also put together a plan for me going forward, taking into account my pup's personality and my own circumstances, to help get my nervous dog comfortable with being alone in the various additional situations he's going to encounter. So far, he has progressed very well! I am grateful for Alex's advice and support--and especially her ability to break it down to fit each client's specific needs. I feel better knowing she's ready to help whenever I need! (And also willing to step back and encourage me take the reins when I am ready.) She's very capable and flexible, with your furry best friend's wellbeing uppermost in her mind. Highly recommend.”


Cavapoo puppy training

Ragini and Chewbacca, the Cavapoo

We have been working with Alexandra since the pre-puppy consultation for our Cavapoo puppy and continued her remote training/behavior consultations throughout the early months of his puppyhood. Her guidance has been incredible. She supported us going above and beyond with everything! She is super detail oriented, always sends a thorough report following the consultation and very prompt in responding to Whatsapp follow ups. She has definitely helped us understand our puppy better, set a proper routine for him & also has helped prevent develop unwanted behaviors.

Being the first time dog owners, we would be lost without her support & we cannot recommend her enough!

We will continue seeking her support with our puppy as & when needed going forward. Thanks Alexandra for all the help, much appreciated.”


Claire Espiner and Betty & Bertie, the JRT/ Dachshund mix

I had the pleasure of working with Alex again recently, for help with discouraging unwanted behaviours in our two dachshund/jack russell cross young adult dogs. This time Alex had moved to Sweden and the sessions were conducted by zoom. I was relieved to find that this did not impact the effectiveness of the training at all. Alex was able to monitor how things were going through video clips I sent of the training in progress and she sent through clips of her working with Wolfgang to demonstrate cues. In the zoom sessions she analysed what was going on with the dogs and suggested methods of managing and training to assist. These were followed up with written reports which detailed training points that I can still refer to if I need to refresh. I highly value Alex’s calm and compassionate manner and her immense  knowledge and professionalism. Through  working with her we have all learned a great deal about behaviour, how to “read” our - and other - dogs and have gained confidence as a result. I absolutely recommend Alex for any dog-related issue.”


Border Collie training

Sara and Osku, the Collie mix 

Alex is an extremely skilled, knowledgable, patient, and caring person with whom I would trust my dog, a 2-year old collie mix, any day. We worked with Alex for four months on a number of my dog's behavioral issues, such as barking at other dogs and basically all moving things outside, keeping calm at home, not going berserk every time I'd leave, etc. While most of these issues (and many other minor things) have improved enormously since Alex came into our lives, above all, thanks to her, I have learnt to understand my dog better. Consequentially, our training has become a fun daily thing to do; not a necessary evil.

Alex is super clear in how she talks about things and thorough with her answers to even the silliest of questions. She knows so much about her field and unlike many others, she does not only suggest what to do and how to do it; she also explains why.

Corresponding with her by email and whatsapp is a breeze: she is always attentive and replies really quickly. I couldn't have dreamt of finding a better dog training consult.


Mastiff American Bulldog

Gowri and Cassie, the Mastiff X

“Alex is amazing!!! I am so grateful for all the support and guidance she has given my with my dog Cassie who is a Mastiff cross American  bulldog,  back when she was a year old with home visits and again now remotely with regular virtual catch ups!

I can see such a difference in Cassie and her recall and checking in when on walks as she is too friendly for her own good sometimes! In just a few weeks, I have seen huge improvements!

Alex gave me the support I needed to grow into a more confident owner and I now really enjoy my walks with Cassie.

Alex was always just a message away and regularly checked in to see how we were getting on, she really cares and is so knowledgeable and friendly. I learned so much about positive reinforcements and I have a better understanding of Cassie and other dogs and their body language and behaviour.

This helps myself and Cassie have more and more positive experiences together. I cannot recommend Alex enough! Thank you xx”


Chow Chow

Krupa and Cadbury, the Chow Chow 

My 6 year old dog had developed a new aversion towards the car and Alex was absolutely fantastic in helping with this issue. We worked together remotely and within a few days of the training, my dog was in the car! Alex showed genuine care and interest towards the situation and was able to provide invaluable advice. I would highly recommend Alex to anyone in need of a dog behaviourist.”


Monica, Giuseppe & Clem, the Goldendoodle 

“As first time dog owners, my husband and I had a lot of questions and uncertainties on how to bring up a happy, healthy and trained puppy. Alex guided us on how to use positive reinforcement for our goldendoodle Clem’s (and ours) well-being and we couldn’t be happier. She is an expert in the field and gave us a clear perspective on our dog’s behavior and went above and beyond what we could have done on our own. Also, she is always keen on clearing our doubts and questions. We will definitely keep working with her and rely on her advice.”


Amstaff dog training

Sinéad, Matt and Bruno, the Amstaff

“Absolutely and whole heartedly recommend Alex as a dog trainer. We had just adopted an Amstaff and were very overwhelmed on walks as he is quite strong. But we were were able to get him walking loose leash so quickly once we followed her training and tips. She also showed us how to do other training and has set us up for success for all future training. She is so friendly with both us and our ridiculous questions as well as with Bruno. She clearly knows her stuff, is excellent with dogs and really promotes positive reinforcement training. When we are ready to advance his training or need any future help we will go to no one but her from now on. If you need any help with your dog, don't hesitate to contact Alex. You won't regret it!”


hundtränare malmö unghundskurs

Ursula and Ozzy, the Old English Bulldog 

“I highly recommend this talented, intelligent and gorgeous woman! I grew up with older dogs almost all my life. But never had a puppy. We miss-judged the energy and persistence a pooch can have. So when our furry baby started biting and being more stubborn (to name a few) Alex taught us simple yet extremely effective methods, and our relationship with our Ozzy has gotten stronger. Alex even taught us to see her needs and behaviour and help Ozzy to have a more pawtastic life. Alex definitely knows her stuff. If you need support or just have a better understanding for your furry baby, go to Alex and Wolfgang. Amazing team!”


Pembroke Welsh Corgi unghundskurs

Isabella and Betty, the Pembroke Welsh Corgi

“Cannot recommend Alex highly enough! As a first time dog owner, having Alex’s guidance and weekly sessions has been a massive help. She is definitely a dog whisperer and our Betty loves her to bits!”


unghundskurs hundtränare malmö

Natalia and Triton, the Spitz

“When we got our little Triton, we started thinking about training. We did not know which way to go, but luckily our friends recommended private coaching with Alex. And that was the best decision we made. We chose "Wolfgang's Super Star Puppy Program" and are very impressed with Alex's methods. We learned about our dog and his needs with Alex's guidance. It was always fun and personable. Alex is meticulous, professional and extremely committed to what she does. She adapted the training to our dog’s needs and personality. Triton has progressed much more than we expected. We are infinitely grateful for Alex's job and passion. Therefore we are very happy with that course and highly recommend it.”


Australian Shepherd puppy training

Liz, Mikkel and Willow, the Australian Shepherd 

"I highly recommend training with Wolfgang's Way Training & Behaviour. We began with Wolfgang’s Good As Gold Puppy Programme (4 x 60 minute puppy training sessions), which covered everything mentioned in the course description, in addition to a number of our personal goals. I was very impressed with Alex's effective, calm, good-natured, and informative approach to dog training. In addition to learning a great deal about how my dog thinks, I felt incredibly comfortable and safe training with her because 1.) my dog loved her and was always happy to see her, and 2.) she teaches very patiently, clearly, and efficiently. In particular, I really appreciated the thoughtful training report summaries Alex wrote after each session. The course went above and beyond my expectations and was very well worth the price.”


Rescue dog training

Tülin and Pepper, the rescue Hound mix

“Being first time dog parents with a rescue dog from abroad, we contacted Alex ahead of Pepper's arrival and scheduled our first session as soon as she came to us. Choosing Alex for Pepper's training was the best decision we made! All communication was through Zoom sessions and emails/WhatsApp. We witnessed that Alex could observe Pepper and her environment through videos and make appropriate suggestions.

From the first session onwards, Alex took her time to listen to us and gave lots of useful advice to take on board. She sent reports at the end of the sessions with a summary and practical advice. She also added links including good quality equipment, treats, etc. This all saved us a lot of time and money and taught us what to look for and what to avoid when we did our own research in the future.

A month into the training, we discovered Pepper had some behavioural issues and Alex guided us through these difficult times with a plan. She modified the plan each time she reviewed the progress with us depending on the new information we had and was always kind and mindful on how we were feeling as well as Pepper's wellbeing.

During the long period we worked with Alex, she was very observant at each step. After asking us a lot of questions, her theories on the underlying reasons for the behaviours all proved correct, as they were later confirmed by our vet with various tests. She coached us to speak to the right people and ask the right questions and helped us to get a referral for a vet behaviourist.

Alex was with us on every step on the way and kept the communication going even during the long breaks we were taking from the training with the adjustment of medications. We cannot thank Alex enough for her support and sharing her wisdom with us at each step of the way. I am sure our paths will cross again and we will definitely call her anytime we need support.”


French Bulldog puppy training

Maryam and Moose, the French Bulldog 

“Alex came to us highly recommended and she did not disappoint. She was incredibly helpful and gave us all the support and information we needed to manage our first ever puppy. In addition to the virtual training sessions, she guided us through various stages and was on call to answer any questions or help us solve any problems we were facing. Since this was our first puppy, and it was incredibly difficult to start with, we are not sure if we could have survived it without her help, training and encouragement. Our puppy is getting along very well as a result of her help, as are we. We are all well settled and managing much better than expected, thanks to Alex. We will be back for help when our puppy becomes a teenager or before if we feel we need some of her advice and support again! We would recommend Alex without any reservation. Everyone who needs help with training and raising a happy dog should reach out to Alex. It will make the world of difference."


Pug puppy training

Ditte and Earl, the Pug

“I couldn’t recommend Alex enough as a dog trainer! She is extremely knowledgable, is always on hand to provide advice and has done wonders for my puppy Earl who has just completed 6 sessions. Each zoom session is very structured and teaches essential skills to ensure your puppy grows into a confident, happy and well behaved dog. Alex ensures you are able to build a bond of trust with your puppy and only ever use positive reinforcement. I can’t recommend her enough. If you’re considering using her, DO IT. You won’t regret it. :) Thanks so much, Alex.”


Mini wire-haired dachshund

Fiona and Darcey, the Mini Wire-haired Dachshund 

“I was recommended Alex by a friend and I would have been completely lost without her over the first couple of months of life with my new puppy Darcey! Buying a puppy just before lockdown meant that we had to do our classes online, but Alex very patiently listened to my panicked calls for help with crate training and getting Darcey to sleep through the night. As part time therapist, she offered fresh perspectives and new ways of thinking in order for us to establish a routine. She would then very clearly lay out training methods week by week, following up with tailor made notes to both the training points and any specific questions I’d asked. As we have now completed our puppy package I am hoping to check in with Alex once a month or so, we can' t wait for our next session!”


Toy Poodle

Yuki and Lily, the Toy Poodle

“We can not say thank you enough about how Alex has been training Lily and myself. We did not know anything when she started train my dog (puppy) including toilet training, recall, behaviour issues, etc. My dog loves her SOOO much and she always so much looks forward to seeing her every week. After the session, she reviewed everything we’ve covered and sent us an email so that we have been able to revise again until the next week. Alex can understand how dogs are feeling, what is the best for the dog, always prioritising the best possible advise even outside of sessions, including the diet, toys and sickness, etc. Alex is an amazing honest and trustworthy person and an outstanding trainer, very clear and effective, practical with a warm heart. It is so difficult to find a great trainer with the proper knowledge of dogs and dogs listen to her and follow what she does, so result are quite immediate. If you’re looking for an excellent trainer, especially for behaviour, I strongly, highly recommend her for every dog owner!”


Mini wire-haired dachshund

Tom, Daniel and Margot, the Mini Wire-haired Dachshund 

“Alex is an absolute superhero. She has helped us with the potentially hard first few months of our puppy's life, and our dog is well on the way to being a healthy & happy girl. Our sessions all took place on Zoom but we managed to cover loads of topics including live training with our pup. She was on hand on email and WhatsApp with any & all queries between sessions and her detailed notes after each call have all been printed and laminated so we can keep going back to them. We don't know what we would have done without Alex! We bought Wolfgang’s Pre-Puppy Super Star package and will definitely be buying further lessons.”


Staffordshire Bull Terrier puppy training

Lucy, Jin and Arya, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier

I cannot recommend Alex highly enough. She is absolutely fantastic to work with. She has worked with our little puppy Arya the Staffordshire bull terrier since week 10. We went for the Wolfgang Pre puppy super star package. It was totally worth it! The pre puppy consultation really prepares you for everything and puts all your nerves at ease. Alex gives you a list: on essentials to buy, talks nutrition, your house set up for the puppy and what to expect on the first day/night and week. We really enjoyed her method of teaching and we ended up booking more lessons with her. She is very calm to our puppy and very patient. Arya absolutely loves when Alex came over which resulted in a few excited pees! We were lucky to do most 1-2-1 lesson which were fantastic. We are doing our other lesson over zoom and they work the same way. So don’t hesitate booking even if it is over zoom. Her method of teaching is all positive reinforcement and clicker training which is a must! The change in behaviour of Arya has been fantastic. She listens more and the training has built a stronger bond all thanks to Alex. You can always email or text Alex when there is a problem and she is very responsive. The great thing is after each training session she sends a report that outlines what you have done in each session and how to cement that command so it becomes natural for the dog. If you are looking for a top trainer in London definitely go with Wolfgang dog training. She is the best.”


Golden Retriever puppy training

Alessandra and Jackson, the Golden Retriever

I couldn't recommend Alex high enough as a dog trainer and I am so thankful we found her. She has a great style, clear, simple and firm. I have come out of each session feeling I had learnt so much, as she can pack-up a lot of information and instructions in each session. It is obvious she is very knowledgeable and has a good, practical, simple answer to all questions. It is also clear dogs love her and respond very well to her. For anyone out there in need of a dog trainer, don't look any further than Alex!”


Italian Greyhound & Whippet

Chris, Mika and Ziggy, the Italian x Whippet 

“Alex is a superb, knowledgable, caring and highly personable trainer. We were struggling with some of our teenage dog's behaviours after she had an injury, so we booked a bundle of training sessions with Alex and within a short space of time we could already see a huge transformation. Alex packs a lot into each session (there is never a feeling of wasted time!) and emails over detailed summary notes afterwards. We had a mixture of Zoom sessions and outdoor sessions, and both have given us brilliant results. We can't thank - or recommend - Alex enough!”


rescue dog training

Louisa and Rocky, the rescue Desert dog mix  

“I cannot recommend Alex enough! In only one session she helped us with very useful, practical and relevant training for our adolescent foreign rescue. Not only was she a joy to work with, making the session enjoyable both for myself and my pup. She was also professional, extremely knowledgeable, practical and helpful. Will definitely be seeing her again for any future training or behaviour needs.”


Shih-Tzu

Katie, Malcolm and Crumpet, the Shih-Tzu

We purchased Alex's 5-week pack for virtual training. We were initially a little nervous about how well virtual training would work, but after our experience, we highly recommend it and highly recommend Alex.Alex is remarkably knowledgeable and professional. This is our first time owning a dog as adults, so we were eager for all the learnings that come from a good trainer. Importantly, Alex provided us with a structured approach to learning the key behaviors that ensure a happy and healthy home for a pup. Critically, she taught us how to better empathise with our pup in those times that he required some patience. We learned from her why positive training techniques the most kind AND effective. I actually think having the trainer's presence be virtual helped keep the attention between us and our pup. During our sessions, Alex would walk us through the behaviors we would focus on that week. She would observe us attempting them with our pup and provide both feedback in the moment and summaries via email as a follow up. Further, we were asked to send videos throughout the week to demonstrate our technique and the dog's progress. These videos encouraged regular practice for us and also provided confidence because she would provide feedback. So glad we found her site and so happy with our super cute and well-behaved puppy!”


Jack Russell Terrier & Dachshund

Claire with Bettie and Bertie, the JRT/ Dachshunds

“I had almost given up hope of bringing our two dachshund/jack russell dogs back under control but Alex has helped us to achieve the impossible. Even before we started our sessions she provided some super helpful tips and the sessions themselves were focused and very informative. Not only did she give us advice, she also helped us to understand the dogs' behaviours so we could work with them. The follow up emails after each training lesson mean we can achieve consistency in reinforcing what we learned. Alex is extremely knowledgeable, calm and non-judgmental. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”


rescue dog training

Olivia, Jack and Raine, the rescue German Shepherd X  

“We stumbled across Alex whilst looking for a trainer in our area, and we are so glad we did! From the onset Alex has been honest, caring and such an amazing trainer. She didn't rush us through anything at all and gave us all the time she had to find out about our dog and his/our needs. Within the space of three sessions with Alex she has helped to transform our relationship with our boy and we are so thankful to her for this. Raine, our 8 month year old rescue, really took to Alex. Her way of explaining things was clear and even her followups via email were better than any other advice we had been given! She even went to the effort of bringing along her lovely dog Wolfie and her friend Peter to help add to our training!  Almost sad we have finished our sessions, but will be back again for more I am sure!“


Belgian Shepherd puppy training

Thibault, Martha and Clovis, the Belgian Shepherd

“Alex has been helping us train our German Shepherd for the past 6 months.  We absolutely love Alex's style, which is very professional, well researched, and very energising for our dog, who responds to well over a dozen commands so far and is often complimented for being well behaved.  The positive philosophy behind Alex's approach is the most striking element in our view and, along with her professionalism and expertise, are the key points that differentiate her.  We have a well-balanced, sociable, and happy dog which is the most important, not least  given his size.  On the side, it is brilliant to get detailed explanatory emails after the sessions as, frankly, one always forgets the details that make all the difference, let alone after a few weeks.  We are grateful to Alex for this outcome and we warmly recommend her.”   


Double Doodle puppy

Deniz, Konstantin and Chilli, the Double Doodle

“Alex’s gentle and positive approach to dog training helped us raise a puppy who is not only very responsive and smart, but also incredibly happy! Me and my husband could not recommend Wolfgang’s Way more to other dog owners in London! Alex is extremely knowledgable about dogs and one can see her passion for her job very clearly!”


Mariana and Louie, the rescue Terrier mix

“My Romanian ex street dog Louie had such a high prey drive I’d thought I’d never be able to let him off lead - he was just always on a mission to hunt and didn’t listen at all! Alex came to our rescue (pun intended!) and actually changed both our lives. She’s knowledgable, kind, caring and extremely generous. She gave me the tools to tackle and change his behaviour, to teach him to listen and engage with me, and ultimately to help me give Louie the best life he could have. She’s very professional and genuinely interested in following the whole process quite closely: I was excited to report back each little victory towards the success of our training and I could tell she was honestly thrilled to watch! I’m a different owner, he’s a different dog, we’ve made a new friend and life is much better now.  I couldn’t recommend her enough if you, like me, think we must always strive to give these guys all that they deserve. Thank you Alex!”

rescue dog training

Labradoodle

Amelia and Ralph, the Labradoodle

“So pleased that I was recommended to work with Alex as a trainer to my 5 month old Labradoodle. Alex is an absolute wonder with dogs... and people.  The first session was in our home and involved the whole family including my 7 year old son, so we were all on board from the start.  Alex makes the training fun for dogs and humans and we saw instant results in her techniques.  We were having trouble with lead walking (being pulled along!) and recall in the park.  Alex has helped us crack both.  We love the follow up emails after each session with step by step instructions as well as videos on understanding dogs better. Couldn't recommend Alex more highly for giving confidence to dog owners and ultimately making the relationship even stronger between the owners and the dog.  Thank you Alex it's been amazing working with you!"


French Bulldog behaviour problems

Hollie, Mark and Marlie, the French Bulldog 

“Alex massively helped us with our naughty French Bulldog. We had been struggling for some time as our dog is aggressive with other dogs & also has an issue with any animals being on the TV. Alex showed us techniques to help control this behaviour with positive re-enforcement. You really see how much Alex loves the dogs and puts so much effort and attention into her work. I would highly recommend her to anyone with a dog.”


Cockapoo

Esha, Simon and Max, the Cockapoo

“Working with Alex the past few months has been an absolute dream! From the lead up to bringing home our puppy and throughout the training she has been nothing but helpful and consistently provided insightful advice and tricks as to how adapt with a dog at home. We've had Max a little over two months and the in the 6 weeks Alex has trained with us, Max has become so good at following commands as well as working on key training such a lead walking, recall and socialising with other dogs and people. I honestly can't think of a better trainer to go with! We are SO grateful to have had such invaluable training at the start of such an important part of a puppies life!”


Hungarian Vizsla 

Laura and Freddie, the Hungarian Vizsla 

“I honestly cannot thank Alex enough for all the help she gave me with our Vizsla puppy Freddie. I contacted Alex after we began having some issues with Freddie refusing to get off our couch and then growling at me when I tried to move him. Alex totally put my mind at rest and we organised some sessions to help me understand how to communicate with Freddie better. There is no question that Alex truly has a very special way with animals. Freddie loved her from the second he met her and watching her with him was really quite magical! She was instantly calming (not just for Freddie but for me also!!). Alex taught me so much during our sessions together and gave me the confidence to really enjoy being with Freddie not only at home but out on walks as well. It has been about a month since I last saw Alex and I think she would be so pleased with the progress Freddie has made, he is without question my best friend and being out walking with him is the highlight of my day. I really do owe this to Alex and would recommend her without hesitation. Aside from being fantastic with dogs, she is a genuinely lovely person and put so much effort into the work she does. If you need help with your dog then call Alex, it will be the best thing you do.”


whippet

Veronika, Gustav and Zoe, the Whippet

“Alex is an amazing person and an outstanding trainer!! In fact she is much more than that! She is a magician who understands inside out what is going on in a dog’s head. She has a lot of love for these 4 legged fellows. We had the full puppy package and my husband and I still cannot quite understand how she managed to teach our 10 week old whippet Zoe to listen and obey complex commands. And all was done with only positive reinforcement and lots of love. Alex is also very professional and well organised. After each session, within an hour or 2, she would follow up with a transcript of all we have learned which we found very useful. I cannot recommend Alex enough. The value she brings outweighs any fees. If you would like to build a great relationship with your dog and have an easy, smooth life with your new family member, please contact Alex!”


Cockapoo training

Sarah and Hardy, the Cockapoo

“I contacted Alex to seek her understand, advise and training. I was initially interested in her “train for you” service, as time was limited. Alex responded quickly and was able to accommodate my diary and meet with our pup. She immediately noticed how anxious he was and helped explain his behaviour and other behaviours that we hadn’t picked up on, which could become problematic, especially with a child. Alex spent 3 sessions with our pup, observing him in his natural environment, training him at home and outside, and providing us with great insight, detailed notes on behaviour, reasons for behaviour, what we needed to change ourselves, diet, and how to establish good practises and training techniques. Alex was able to show us first hand how much impact could be had in 45 minutes and how the change needed to start with us. It was incredibly eye opening and there was a lot more depth that I would have assumed. However it is the depth of knowledge that Alex has, and how she can convey that simply and effectively, that made her such a pleasure to work with, and why we credit her entirely with the improvement we have seen in our puppy. 

Alex has a wonderfully warm and personable nature, which makes working with her very enjoyable. She always gives timely and detailed notes with videos, supporting information and follow ups. She definitely knows her stuff and we would 100% recommend her.  Our dog walks better on the lead, is calmer with people arriving and is even getting better at sharing!! Thanks so much Alex!!”


Staffordshire Bull Terrier

Jessica and Riley, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier

“Alex is an incredible dog trainer and has helped us immensely during and after the sessions we had with her. From nutrition to body language, Alex taught us so much throughout our training sessions, catering and adjusting each session based on our dog and his needs and worries. Riley has always been a lead puller since we adopted him last year, but since meeting Alex there has been great improvement, primarily coming from Alex’s vast amount of knowledge and helping us understand Riley’s body language whilst we’re out on walks. Alex always provides detailed emails following our sessions including everything we have learnt and discussed, something I always recheck over time to keep everything fresh in my mind. I would 100% recommend Alex (and so would Riley, who loved her and her selection of treats!).”


German Shepherd behaviour training

Morgane and Korra, the German Shepherd 

“I am blown away by Korra's improvements under Alexandra's supervision. We have had some behavioural issues for years and in only a few months, my dog has massively improved and I credit Alexandra's skills, attention to detail and love for dogs. She really knows what she is talking about, she understand each breed and respects dogs as individuals and she happily shares her knowledge with you so you are empowered to take better care of your companion. I feel more confident in my abilities to train and look after my dog and I am convinced that this also played a major part in the victories we have celebrated lately, and I also credit this to Alexandra, she doesn’t just deal with your dog, she also guides you to be a better owner, a better carer for your dog and so a better friend for them. I whole-heartedly recommend Alexandra, and your dog will thank you for choosing her!”


German Shepherd puppy training

Dinyar and Rocky, the German Shepherd 

“Alex is a friendly, extremely knowledgeable trainer, and I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for guidance on training their pup. As first time dog owners, my family and I wanted to make sure we did everything right for our German Shepherd puppy. Alex's sessions helped us to build our knowledge on a variety of subjects including mouthing, socialising and recall training. Everything she said, she backed up with logic and reasoning to help us understand why we should train our puppy using a particular training method. The emails Alex sends after each session are great to use as a written record of each session, so we don't forget any of the information learnt in the lesson. Overall, my family and I had a great experience with Alex and I would 100% recommend her.”


Samoyed puppy training

Colleen, Tim and Kumo, the Samoyed

“Alex was INCREDIBLE! Our dog Kumo had a serious problem with demand barking and would constantly pull us on the lead. Now he walks perfectly and constantly checks-in with us! His barking has reduced so much. She was great at taking the time to explain his behaviours and why acts they way he does. She would help us with any questions we had. Would 100% recommend her!"


Shih-Tzu training

Clair, James and Marley, the Shih Tzu cross

“Alex worked with us over the summer with our 3 year old rescue dog. This was a massive challenge, as we do not know about his life prior to his adoption. At the start of the process Marley had no idea about walking on and off a lead, playing with toys, and he was very anxious. Alex has provided us with a toolbox of skills, which have helped us to develop a close bond with Marley, and will continue to do so.  She is an expert in positive discipline for dogs and has also taught us how important the correct diet is for behaviour. Marley can now walk loose lead, has made big progress off the lead, loves his toys and his anxiety has decreased a lot. Alex was not only wonderful with our dog, but with us too! She constantly provided us with reassurance as new dog owners, with a variety of topics such as day-care and pet insurance. She was also very organised with emailing feedback regarding our training sessions. Alex was, and still is at the end of the phone if we need advice. She is a very caring professional and person. We really enjoyed working with her.“ 


Mini Dachshund puppy training

Joss and Bridget, the Mini Dachshund

“Alex was so wonderfully caring to Bridget from the first day and treated Bridget like an individual, whilst also being aware of her breed traits. Bridget isn't a usual Dachshund, she's quiet and incredibly intelligent and Alex used this to her strengths - with Bridget breezing through day to day commands, and spending longer on things that she needed to work on such as her confidence with other dogs and in the park. Bridget is transformed now and building her confidence even further daily. I can't thank Alex enough and i know she is there for any future needs - it's a genuine, organic and long lasting relationship between Alex and the dogs she takes on.”


german wirehaired pointer puppy

Kate and Peanut, the German Wirehaired Pointer

"Alex is literally a dog whisperer. She cares very much about the dog, their environment and how it can work best for the dog and the family/owner. My very energetic large puppy is happier and much better behaved and now loves to train. The only thing I would wish is that we could keep seeing Alex. My whole family and dog adored her and looked forward to her visits."


eurasier puppy training

Sanjay, Alessandra and Winnie, the Eurasier

"Alex was a fantastic trainer and specialist. We weren’t sure what to expect at first but after our first meeting we knew how good she was and how great she got on with our puppy - especially as our dog is quite reserved with anyone outside of the family!

Alex is methodical, honest and makes sure she provides clear guidance. Her detailed reports at the end of each session were very helpful and have formed the basis of our training going forward.
Alex not only improved our puppy’s leash training but also other important aspects, essential for dog owners to have in their arsenal (leave it, recall, etc).

Most importantly, Alex not only helped our dog improve on her own abilities but gave us the confidence to carry on the training. She taught us crucially that it isn’t simply our dog that needed training but us as dog owners as well!
We feel highly motivated after our sessions with Alex and can’t recommend her enough. What a pleasure to work with!"


Labrador puppy training

Nancy and Coco, the Labrador:

"I learnt so much from Alex. She is an exceptional trainer. She showed me how to use the clicker effectively which has been instrumental in turning our crazy pup into a well mannered doggy citizen! It is because of her our puppy waits on her mat while we answer the front door. She really understands dogs - Coco loved her and loved her chicken treats! She also gave me so much follow up advice on the phone - she really is the go to person for all doggy matters! I will always recommend her."


Borador

Paulus and Maximus, the Borador

"Alex is THE dog trainer that you want and need, whatever your canine requirements are! She brings exemplary passion, knowledge and professionalism to every training session. My little puppy, Maximus, responded well and immediately to her approach. Alex doesn't just provide effective training, but she explains in great detail the thinking behind her approach. The results speak for themselves. Alex is very knowledgeable, always willing to help and ensures she is constantly up-to-date on the latest training methodologies and even nutritional information. She really goes above and beyond, offering advice between training sessions if required and regularly checks in. Also very helpful, her professional summary notes and tips following each session. Alex can share a host of useful links, both for training purposes but also all dog-related products (e.g food, harnesses, playpens). If I was a dog, I would most certainly want Alex as my trainer. You can't go wrong with Wolfgang's Way!"


Stabyhoun puppy training

Cosima and Gelmer, the Stabyhoun

“Alexandra really knows her stuff. Her attention to detail and ability to remember individual aspects of our dog’s needs were impressive and the results speak for themselves. She is very reliable, well organised and packs lots of useful information into the sessions as well as putting us to work straight away, so I felt that we certainly got our money’s worth. Each session was followed by an extensive email report with notes on the exercises she had covered with us. We would highly recommend her.”

 


rescue dog training

Christina and Aramis, the Greek rescue 

“Alex is a fantastic dog trainer and all round lovely person. It's obvious that she adores dogs and really understands them. Her methods are exceptionally effective and gentle. We just adopted our first dog, a slightly boisterous and very sweet mixed breed from Greece and within a few weeks he has learnt so much. His recall has massively improved and he's becoming much more polite in his play with other dogs. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Alex......in fact, I already have!”

 


Kooikerhondje puppy training

David and Billy, the Kooikerhondje

"Alex is brilliant with dogs. And their owners. Her combination of enthusiasm, professionalism, patience, humour and firmness worked as well with us as it did with Billy. I doubt you could find a better dog trainer. And I’m sure they wouldn’t be half as much fun."

 

 

 

 

 

 


rescue border collie training

Helen and Mambo, the Collie mix

"I can not recommend Alex highly enough for dog training. Our new dog, as a rescue, came with a number of issues which we have needed to work through sensitively and slowly. Alex was attentive to all the information we were able to provide about our dog which made us feel confident in both her passion for training and her knowledge. She is hugely supportive, kind and encouraging both during training and after. At no point did she make us feel failures for not having the perfectly behaved dog but instead was able to offer rational explanations and modify the training so it felt extremely tailored to us and our dog. 

It is obvious that she is passionate about her profession and never complacent that she knows it all. Instead she is constantly researching information and attending courses to improve her knowledge. The amount of information that you receive during a training session is often overwhelming, and difficult to retain but here's but here's the difference, Alex follows up each training session with an email linking you to training videos to remind you of all the information, and literature recommendations. She provides routines for you to work through and then follows up. Her attention to detail is amazing but at no point does she make you feel an idiot for not mastering often complex and subtle modifications in your own behaviour which make all the difference in having a confident, happy dog who is well-behaved and your very best friend."
