Raised between Germany and Georgia, Alexander has always had a deep love for dogs, spending much of his childhood fostering and rescuing them. At 17, he began his career in animal care, gaining valuable experience in kennel management and grooming to learn proper animal husbandry, before transitioning to professional dog training. His training journey began at a force-free facility focused on rehabilitation, where he worked with rescue dogs, led puppy and CGC classes, and conducted daily training sessions. Acquiring his first working dog unlocked new doors in Alexander’s training career, allowing him to dive deeper into the world of high-drive training.
This experience led him to travel across the country, attending various trials, and collaborating with trainers from diverse backgrounds and methods. Now, with his dog fully trained, Alexander is preparing for international dog sport competitions. Alexander believes in the power of mutual respect, clear communication, and compassion in dog training. He views every interaction with a dog as an opportunity to teach, learn, and grow. With a strong foundation in force-free methods and a deep understanding of animal behavior, Alexander is dedicated to continuously expanding his knowledge and strives to elevate every day dog training into an art form for his clients.
