Hello there!
I’m Alex. I am an Abu Dhabi-based dog trainer.
My academy is on a mission to help create well-balanced and happy dogs by providing the best training, tools & techniques.
About Me
I am the founder of Happy Hounds Academy in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates—a certified dog trainer who also trains dogs in conformation (dog show training).
I have 15 pets (12 rescues): bunnies, cats and dogs. Three of these pets are ‘show dogs’.
I come from a family that has been breeding German shepherds and Pekinese since the 1950s and I have owned a German shepherd, a Yorkie, a Labrador and, now, five dogs: Salukis and Borzois.
I come from Finland and grew up in Greece and Sweden till my early 20s. Prior to opening my own dog training academy, I spent 30 years working in telecommunications and the defense industry in various countries.
My passion for dogs and training them led me to start Happy Hounds Academy.
Once you have had a wonderful dog, a life without one is a life diminished.

Services
I always start with a consultation visit to understand what you want for your puppy or dog and from there I will create a plan that suits you and your dog in order to achieve best possible results.
