Hello, welcome to my web site. My name is Nick Jones and I run Alpha Dog Behaviour. My role is to support owners and their dogs to enjoy better relationships by improving dog behaviour problems with a calm approach and positive training.
It's a simple site that aims to answer a few basic questions you may have about the services I offer, and a little about me and my approach as a canine behaviourist.

I can help you with a broad range of dog behaviour problems and dog training issues; from getting started with your new puppy, to cases of aggression to dogs or people. Based in Bewdley, Worcestershire, I cover all of the surrounding counties, and frequently travel up to a 200 mile radius on request. I can travel further when requested. For a brief introduction from me on YouTube (I even bought a new top) click here... I am a Master Trainer with The Guild of Dog Trainers. Also a proud full member to the Canine and Feline Behaviour Association... this allows me to work through your pet insurance policy when you are covered for dog behaviour. To compliment my practical skills and success, I am in my final year of a Masters Degree in dog behaviour with Middlesex University. I have also given a number of interviews with the BBC on dog behaviour and dog training related matters as well as write for Dog's Monthly, Field & Rural Life and Animal Health & Happiness magazines. I'm a keen user of social media, and use this to enhance my connection with you. Use the icons on the top right of this page to connect with me. As a full member to the CFBA, I am recognised for my high quality of behavioural work with dogs, and this will allow you to claim back either part or all of my fees depending on your insurer and level of cover. More details on my insurance page. The majority of my work is resolving aggressive behaviour in dogs, usually dog to dog aggression or aggression to people, but I can also help you with any other dog behaviour problems you may be experiencing. I can offer puppy visits, help for pulling, jumping up, separation anxiety, soiling in the home, non recall, excessive barking or nervous dog behaviour...

As an experienced dog behaviourist regularly dealing with dog aggression, I am able to help you and your dog return to balanced behaviour. I am committed to helping people understand their dogs more clearly, to regain control where needed, and improving the human-dog bond.
I focus on your handling skills, and creating calm behaviour in your dog. A dog that is calm is able to listen to you and follow your lead when asked to do so. In many respects the solution is quite simple.
I specialise in creating a positive leadership based bond with your dog founded on good common sense, and years of experience dealing with dog behaviour problems just like the ones you're currently experiencing. Most commonly I am asked to help resolve dog to dog aggression as this is the most common type. Second to that comes dog aggression to people, either towards the owners, visitors to the home, or people outside.
I also find that once a dog is aggressive to people, aggression to other dogs is also common place. Aggressive behaviour can then arise around other areas such as territory, guarding of objects and food, or aggressive behaviour when attempting to groom the dog and so on. Aggressive behaviour in dogs can be displayed in more ways than I could describe here; in any event I am experienced in finding a resolution.
There are no quick fixes to resolving aggressive dog behaviour, but I am often impressed with how quickly a dog is able to change, and very often this change is clearly evident during my first visit with you. I do not use aggressive or harsh training methods. No check chains, electric collars or prong collars.
There will be no shouting at the dog (or you!). We shall work on a one to one basis together in your home and outdoor environments to find a solution suited for you and your dog that endures and improves with time. Every dog and owner requires a custom approach for best results; this is where I will stay flexible and able to adapt to every dog and owner's needs to ensure a successful outcome.
