Founder, Director & Trainer

​

Drew is a Qualified Dog Trainer and keen researcher currently undertaking the IMDTB Behaviourist

Qualification accredited by OCN. 

​

After 5 years of group walks Drew has now gone to full time training and his day is made up of 1-to-1 sessions helping pups in need.

​

His understanding of dog behaviour is second to none and his patience and diligence in practicing and modifying behaviours using kind and effective methods has helped so many of our dogs become well rounded, happy pups. 

Director & Administrator

​

Drew's partner Georgie runs the day to day scheduling, timetabling and administration including this website and our partner business The Hound Club. She formed our app and is the first point of contact for all enquiries and queries. 

 

She has completed courses with the IMDT, studied a fascinating hormones and neutering course by Sarah Whitehead and is currently working through a Canine Nutrition Diploma with the BCCS.

​

Georgie runs our early morning retriever pack and occasionally takes on mentoring clients to fast track them into groups.

Lead Walker, Trainer & Shop Manager

 

Drew's cousin Glen is a firm favourite with many of our dogs - and owners! He does group walks in the morning, mentoring sessions in the afternoon and shop orders for The Hound Club!

​

He excels in bringing confidence to our shyer pups and so many of our pack dote on him and some of our clients refer to him as the KH MVP!!

​

You may spot him wearing shorts in the dead of winter with his doodle pack in a perfect off leash heel looking up with him with adoration.

Group Walks Manager & Trainer

​

Initially introduced to us by a mutual friend, KH wouldn't be what it is today without Ryan. He has been with us for over 3 years and completed courses with the IMDT, he is our Dachshund and toy breed fan! He is currently undertaking Level 4 in Canine Behaviour with the BCCS.

 

Ryan has a natural enthusiasm with all of our dogs and is fantastic at using clicker training to help shape positive behaviours in anxious, energetic pups.

 

His expertise in recognising doggie body language is invaluable to our groups and he oversees our other walkers if Georgie and Drew are not present. His 1-to-1 mentoring sessions are fantastic for providing constructive breed specific outlets for your pup.

Walker and Driver, Shop Manager and Petsitting Administrator

 

Georgie's brother Jamie used to be our resident Husky wrangler and tend specifically to our multi dog households prior to graduating in Russian and Business last year. 

​

We are extremely lucky to have him back on board as his passion for dogs and customer care skills shows daily in his work with us.

Walker and Driver

​

Golden Retriever lover and all round superstar Hannah has been an incredible addition to our team at the beginning of 2022.

 

She holds a degree in Animal and Veterinary Bioscience and has previous doggy experience volunteering for the RSPCA in Australia.

 

Hannah is a very quick learner and picks up new methods and handling techniques efficiently and with ease. She is our little ray of sunshine - much like a golden! - and a favourite with canines and clients alike.

Walker and Driver

​

Doodle fan and owner of Bruno the gorgeous cockapoo Aaliyah came to us in 2022 already with an extremely in-depth understanding of dog behaviour and dog body language. She was - and is -  the ultimate informed dog owner and following her degree had caught the training bug and was looking to learn more about dog psychology.

 

Since then she has only expanded upon her knowledge and experience and is naturally very intuitive with all dogs and an excellent problem solver. She has also made brilliant progress integrating some of our training clients into group situations.

Petsitter & Occasional Walker

​

Alex came to us initially from another dog care company just to help us cover holiday and we were extremely lucky that she stayed with us much longer.

 

She now has a corporate job but after growing up in the Cotswolds with 7 labradors we often manage to tempt her in to help us on our Friday hikes and she has helped out many a time when we've been inundated with petsitting requests. 

​

She has an amazingly calm way with dogs and we are very fortunate to have her as an alumni!
