Alex has more than 15 years of experience training dogs. He trained at one of the top dog training schools in Italy and is a certified trainer with the Italian regulated body of ENCI.

In Italy Alex worked with the Emergency Response Unit and Fire Brigade, training and handling dogs that rescue people from dangerous situations and natural disasters such as earth quakes, floods and avalanches. 

Alex firmly believes that dog training can only be achieved when the owner fully understands how to best communicate with their dog, and that any dog can learn to change his behaviour once the owner learns the basics and uses a consistent approach. Alex is head of the Dublin SPCA training programme and assesses and rehabilitates rescue dogs.
