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 behaviourist.

Dog behaviour and dog training are diverse subjects, and as a result I encourage you to contact me directly without any obligation for a relaxed conversation about your dog and any concerns or problems you may be experiencing. I can help you with a broad range of dog behaviour problems and training issues; from getting started with your new puppy, to cases of dog aggression.

Here are some of the many areas I can help you with:

  • Puppy visits and related issues
  • One to one obedience dog training
  • Dog to dog aggression
  • Dog to people aggression 
  • Biting / nipping
  • Nervous aggression
  • Dominant aggression
  • Excessive barking
  • Pulling on the lead
  • Jumping Up
  • Over excitement with visitors
  • Chewing / Destructive behaviour
  • Digging
  • Nervous behaviour, fears and phobias
  • Fear of Fireworks
  • Car travel issues
  • Recall issues - failing to return
  • Toilet training
  • Separation anxiety
  • Unruly behaviour in the home
  • Rank issues within the home
  • Safe practice with children
  • Diet, food and related behaviour
  • Insurance claims for the above
  • The List goes on...
  • Many people email saying their dog has all of the above! 

For a brief introduction from me on YouTube (I even bought a new shirt) click on the image below...

It's fair to say that most owners are not looking for dogs ready to enter to Crufts obedience, and I fully understand this. Most people want calm, well behaved dogs that happily fit into family life; and this is what I take pride and specialise in so you will be in good hands.

After a home visit (visits to my office and grounds can be made by prior arrangement) to assess the dog, and it's environment, a plan is devised and worked upon, whereby you and your dog can learn to understand each other using non-aggressive methods of behaviour modification creating a calm, happy home. There will be no shouting, or aggressive handling of the dog...a calm approach will be maintained throughout.

A recent customer said:

"Nick, Thanks to your advice we now have two much better behaved dogs. They are quieter to live with and we are now able to walk them together. Alfie who was being bullied by Monty the puppy seems to once more be enjoying life and we are all finally moving on from having lost Max. We now have Alfie under control thanks to you. I feel sure that we are well on the way to having two beautiful dogs that anyone would be proud of. I still put in training everyday, but can definately see results. once again many thanks."

Further positive feedback here...

"Thank you so much for the help and guidance yesterday. I have just come back from walking Max, and oh what an enormous difference. We had to do a few change of directions, but he was so superb - I am over the moon! Yesterday evening he watched the TV advert with the dog in it, he didn't move, and only made the slightest noise! So much progress in such a short time. He hasn't tried to jump on the furniture - always waits for me to go through doors before him - doesn't bother about the birds in the garden, just looks with no noise at all - and all this with no prompting . You are truly remarkable.
I shall keep on with the good work and contact you soon. Thank you.!"
