ABOUT ME
My name is Aleks Wasowska and I'm the owner of PuppyPro. As a child, I was always naturally drawn to animals, in particular dogs. Our first family dog, a Great Dane, was a Schutzhund trained dog. I attended all the training sessions alongside my father, and this is where my passion for dog training began.
It quickly became apparent that I had a connection with dogs and could communicate with them with ease. The first dog I trained on my own was my miniature poodle, we participated in a variety of dog sports such as obedience, agility, trick training and scent work.
Naturally, I decided to fully immerse myself into dog behaviour and training, firstly gaining real life experience, shadowing great trainers and behaviourists from all walks of life and with varying training techniques. Over the last 15 years I was able to gain real hands on experience and find the style of training that I truly believe in. I want the dog to work WITH me and its owners, not FOR me, we're a team.
​
​
I also attend a number of seminars, workshops and have earned Higher Certificates: The Canine Behaviourist, Advanced Dog on Dog Aggression and Advanced Dog on Person Aggression. I always read new research into dog behaviour and stay up to date with my knowledge.
Wanting to join my interest in biology with my love for dogs, I became certified and DEFRA approved in Canine Fertility, Pet Ultrasound and a Microchip Implanter. You can view my current certificates here, I am also fully insured to work with you and your dog.
I am thrilled to be able to dedicate my life to training dogs, helping people, pursuing my interests in science and devoting my life to dogs.
DOG TRAINING AND BEHAVIOUR
I'm based in Ely, Cambridgeshire but I work within a 30 mile radius.
Over the years I have worked with a lot of different dog breeds and their owners.
I'm a firm believer in 'start as you mean to go on', I feel setting up a good foundation in terms of basic obedience and socialisation, with your young puppy, will set you on a positive dog ownership journey towards a harmonious life with a well behaved dog.
​
I have learnt they many issues experienced by dog owners can be prevented by correctly choosing the type or breed of dog, that matches your lifestyle, character and the needs of your family.
Having been involved in showing and breeding dogs, I have been fortunate enough to meet a lot of breeds as well as having first hand experience how important it is to match a puppies personality to your family.
​
I want to help families pick the right breed and the right puppy for them to set you and your new puppy up for success from the start.
Please see my Match Making service outlined here.
I wanted to bring something new to the puppy classes scene, therefore I offer two different types of puppy classes; basic obedience classes and socialisation classes, but with a slight twist.
​
I believe to set you up for a lifetime of success, it isn't enough for me to help you teach your puppy to sit or how to walk to heel. I aim to provide you with an understanding on how your puppy sees the world, how it learns and how best to communicate with your dog while forming a positive relationship. I give you the tools and teach you how to use them, so you can confidently make your puppy into your perfect dog.
​
Every puppy owner has heard the term 'socialisation', but what does that even mean? In my socialisation classes, we aim to give the puppies the best start to their life in the human world. We will form positive associations with as many scenarios, sights, sounds and smells as possible, to truly set your puppy up for success and ensure they're relaxed and confident, whatever they may be faced with. Since we're in a rural area, we will also cover introductions to livestock and making sure you and your puppy are the perfect countryside citizens.

*Please note: Vaginal cytology is a procedure used to determine the optimum day for breeding your bitch. This procedure is more comfortable for the bitch than progesterone testing as all it requires is a quick swab. It is also legal, under the The Veterinary Surgery (Blood Sampling) Order 1983, it is illegal for anyone except a fully qualified vet, to draw blood from your dog, therefore I do not offer progesterone testing.
I also do not offer Artificial Insemination as the RVC have advised that no-one except veterinary surgeons should be performing this procedure.
