BUDDIES BACKGROUND
Buddies is a informal partnership between two friends.
Alex is an experienced dog behaviourist, currently studying for a Masters degree at Lincoln University and has over 20 years experience in dog behaviour and training.
With over 25 years of dog ownership behind her, Amanda brings calm to the chaos, as well as a wealth of enthusiasm and an unending love of all dogs great and small.
Amanda and Alex met back in 2009 when Amanda took "Baxter Cornelius" to one of Merrypaw's puppy training courses. Back then, without the expertise, understanding and dedication shown by Alex, Baxter could easily have been one of life's lost causes. With the stubbornness of a beagle, Amanda gleaned knowledge and advice from Alex to turn him around to the well trained, well adjusted hound he is today.
Amanda and Alex have combined their skills and abilities to create "Buddies" which is designed to be a professional service using caring, fun and positive training methods.
