Hi, I'm Alex - Founder of The Leash Life
I don't believe in rushed chaotic dog walks.
I believe in structured, calm, and purposeful walks that build confidence, focus, and balance.
My journey with animals started young — from rescuing kittens to learning the hard way with my first dog how important structure, patience and guidance.
Today, I share my life with my dogs, Maggie Mae and Theodore, and cats, Louie and Finn — and every pet I care for is treated like part of my family.
At The Leash Life, I provide more than just walks or visits.
I offer behaviour-informed one-on-one care designed to help dogs feel calmer, more confident, and easier to live with.
Because every pet deserves the chance to truly thrive.

John E.
I have two hunting dogs that are very active, with work and family, sometimes I need someone to fill in the gaps. Alex at The Leash Life has been amazing - she not only walks them reliably but also works on their leash manners. Since they're hunters, they can get overly excited outside, but Alex knows how to handle them and keeps walks calm and enjoyable. I can always count on her, and my dogs love their time with her.

Alex is wonderful. I will only use her to walk my babies. She takes excellent care of them and ensures my big buddy gets all the steps he needs while my older girls gets a little walk and some fresh air. I appreciate Alex ... You will too. Don't hesitate to book with her!

Alex has the most honest and caring attitude. I've known her for over 10 years and she has always been there for me when needed. She is super friendly and the most reliable. Very dependable and great choice!
