My name is Alex, and I’m the lead trainer for Fearless Foundations: The Essential Course For Anxious Dogs. I’m an expert in training fearful dogs.
If you’re here, I know you believe your dog deserves a life of curiosity, calm, and confidence. Yet, right now they (and you) are stuck living a life of limitations and frustrations because of their anxiety.
- If you care about the happiness of your dog…
- If you feel personally responsible for your dog’s well-being and you want to be the best owner you can be…
- If you’re excited to not only change your dog’s behavior but also feel more fulfilled in your relationship with them….
…Fearless Foundations is the course for you!
Is your dog feeling anxious, nervous, or afraid?
- Do you dread taking them on walks, to the park, or on field trips because they’ll bark incessantly or act afraid?
- Do you feel embarrassed and stifled because you can’t leave them at home alone?
- Is your dog afraid of people, other dogs, loud noises, or even you when you walk into the room?
- Has anxiety medication stolen your dog’s personality and joy? Have you’ve tried other “natural” solutions that also didn’t work?
In my experience, anxiety-specific training is the only way to help your dog overcome their anxiety. Anything less will leave you feeling like a bad owner, living a half-life, and even considering re homing your beloved dog.
Foundational Calm, on the other hand, will leave you confident, fulfilled, and feeling like the amazing owner that you are!

Luna
“From anxious and reactive to relaxed enough to become a service animal!”
“Luna came to me from a rescue in May of 2022. She had many anxieties to work through from separation anxiety and fear based reactivity towards other dogs. Luna is now training as service dog for me and doing great. I completely trust Alex’s judgement and he really knows how to train dogs with anxiety issues.”

6 Benefits of Fearless Foundations: The Essential Course For Anxious Dogs
Confidence
Feel confident as an owner, lead your dog well, and instill confidence in them in every situation. You’ll learn my tried-and-true techniques for changing your own mindset and thought patterns to instill your dog with confidence and curiosity!
Normalcy
When your dog finds their courage, you’ll (finally!) enjoy “normal” activities like relaxing in the house or going on a walk with them. No, it’s not too much to ask! Not only will your dog be less anxious, you’ll learn how to translate that into a “normal” lifestyle.
Joy
Dogs truly are mankind’s best friend! I’ll help you to bring out the joyful side of this classic bond! Feel happy and proud as you watch them relaxing or curiously sniffing in new situations (instead of becoming agitated).
Peace of Mind
Stop stressing about your dog! Restore peace to your relationship and your home! Train them to be quiet and relaxed whether they’re home alone or in the room with you. The entire program is built around this foundational principle!
Companionship
Feel closer to your dog than you ever have before when you learn to understand and respond to their wants and needs, and vice versa! If you’ve ever wished to be able to somehow ‘talk to your dog’, this is your chance.
Hope
Rekindle the hopes and dreams you had when you brought them home, finally able to do things you never thought you’d do with them! Your dog wants this as much as you do, but they can’t achieve it unless you show them the way!

Transformations Of My Past Students
“From anxious to calm and confident!”
“Alex really knows his profession! He is awesome and thorough. My pup says ‘Thank you Alex, I really appreciate you helping me get over my anxiety!’”
Gina
“A huge transformation!”
“My experience working with you has been excellent. She was not the dog she is now. Huge transformation! She’s learned a lot and we’ve learned a lot. It was a learning experience for all of us. We’re on the right path, you’ve taught us a lot about what to do, and helped us understand both why and how.”
Linda
“From considering rehoming her to a joy to have as a part of the family!”
“When we got Coco, she was not comfortable with our kids. She would nip them and hide from them, cowering in our room for the whole day. After plenty of training and many updates back and forth with Alex, Coco became very comfortable with our kids. She loves our kids now, responds appropriately to their annoyances, and jumps on the trampoline with them. Because of Alex and his expertise, we get to safely keep our dog. We are so, so, so grateful for Alex and Kelly.”
Hailey
“Huge improvements for his anxiety and barking!”
“(We worked with) Alex to help Caesar with anxiety and excessive barking. I cannot say enough good things about Alex and his methods. He’s extremely knowledgeable, helpful and will treat your dog as if it’s his own. We are seeing wonderful improvement in our pups overall health and demeanor. If you’re looking for a caring, capable dog trainer then I highly recommend Alex’s Dog Training.”

Lead Trainer
Alex Peacock
A Note from Alex: Is Online Training Effective?
I get asked this question a lot! As someone who has trained hundreds of dogs, both in person and online, I can confidently say that yes it is!
Why? Whether your trainer is in person or online, you are the differentiating factor for your dog’s success. Your willingness to make shifts and consistently implement new techniques determines whether any training takes and sticks.
For this reason, online training can sometimes be even better than in-person training. In fact, I actually created this program because I think it’s a better option for solving caning anxiety. Because the training is online, I can’t just reach out and take the leash and do it for you. I have to train you how or the training just won’t work.
Many trainers can solve behavioral problems while they are with your dog, only to have everything disappear when the trainer walks away. With my training, there is no false progress: every bit of progress is made through you.
It doesn’t matter whether I’m flesh and blood or pixels. My ability to train you to be skilled in leading your dog is what creates success, and that’s something I’m confident I can do online if you’re willing to commit to showing up with me and your dog!
Other F.A.Q.s
Will it work for my dog?
Yes. I’ve worked with so many dogs, both in-person and online, and I’ve never met an anxious dog I couldn’t help.
Like humans, on the surface dogs are all different, but deep down they’re all wired the same. The fundamentals that your dog needs to be confident and calm is the same as every other dog I’ve trained. We’ll work together to tailor it to you and your dog as individuals.
Wouldn't it be more affordable to just send my dog off to a traditional trainer?
I get it – the course might seem expensive. I know that budgets can be tight, but I also know that (because you’re even considering this) you’re the kind of owner who knows that your dog’s fulfillment is worth investing in.
An average board-and-train package for anxiety runs between $2 thousand and $4 thousand, so the cost isn’t egregious or outside of what’s normal for this industry. Also, board and trains may work to train your dog, but without you being the one to make the progress, you may not be able to maintain what they have learned, leaving you at square one out a $$$ a couple grand.
I have had so many people come to me for help after having already invested hundreds or thousands into their dog’s training with little to no results or having had results quickly fade away.
Also, how much is it worth to you to know that your dog is living their life fulfilled? Living the life you (and your dog) want pays manifold dividends in the end.
Even if you’re nervous about the cost, book a call with me. I do offer monthly payment plans to reduce the burden, and the call is free. What do you have to lose?
Is there any sort of guarantee?
I can guarantee that through this course you will be given all the tools you need to help your dog overcome their fear and anxiety.
The rest is up to you. I cannot guarantee success because I can’t guarantee your actions. However, I can guarantee that if you do your work your dog will come out of this course far more curious, calm, and confident than when you began.
Are the changes lasting?
You don’t just want a quick-fix solution that soon begins to depreciate. You want a solution that provides your dog with a better, less-anxious life long-term.
Like I stated earlier, this largely depends on you. Through the course, I’ll give you the behaviors, tools, techniques, mindsets, and practices you need to help your dog to be courageous. I’ll also provide you with ongoing techniques to ensure those changes last.
If you continue using those resources, the changes will continue too. If not, your dog may revert to their old behaviors.
That said, my goal is to empower you with the tools, training, and encouragement you need to succeed long after we’re done. You get access to all of the lessons forever, plus they’re downloadable. I also offer a la carte private virtual sessions if you need a touch up at a discounted rate for people who graduate this course.
And most importantly, you’ll have developed habits, not just book knowledge, about the best ways to help your dog be calm, composed, and courageous in every situation.
