Meet The Team

Aaron

Hi I’m Aaron, co-founder of Fellside Dog Training and a former British Army dog handler and trainer.

I joined the Army at 18 years old as a military dog handler, where I spent 6 years working and training military working dogs.

Throughout my time in the military, I discovered a genuine passion for dog training. What started as a career quickly became something I truly love doing every day.

My approach to training is balanced, clear, and built around engagement and play. I believe dogs learn best when training is rewarding, enjoyable, and creates trust and motivation. Whether it’s obedience, behaviour issues, confidence building, or improving everyday life with your dog, my goal is to help owners create a calmer, stronger connection with their dogs through practical training that works in the real world.

Hi I’m Alex, proud co-founder of Fellside Dog Training and also former British Army dog handler and trainer.

I first discovered my love for dog training working on a farm handling a sheepdog in 2019. This ignited a passion for dogs and from then on, working with dogs was all I could see myself doing as a career so decided to join the army as a dog handler in 2021. Working with dogs in the military was where I truly began to understand dog training and behaviour through my experiences and spending most of my spare time extensively researching the subject.

My approach to training is based on a foundation of play in order to establish motivational and reliable communication systems. This sets the framework to help you and your dog overcome any challenges life may throw at you using a variety of techniques. My mission is to wholeheartedly improve dogs lives and create positive and rewarding relationships with their owners.
