Founder, Director & Behaviourist

​

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 went to full time training in 2022 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. He is in exceptionally high demand and we often find clients don't want to give up their slots they enjoy the training so much!

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 runs our custom 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.

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 and training 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. His ability to teach pups new skills is truly fantastic and he is an invaluable asset to our team.

Driver and Dog Walker

​

Jared came to us after spending 6 years teaching English to children in China! He is near fluent in Chinese and learning to 'speak dog' even quicker.

​

Our pack members warmed to him immediately and he has excelled in teaching reliable recall to some of our adolescent pups! He is a gentle giant himself and has a natural affinity with our giant and large breed dogs.

​

He is patient and kind and when he's not walking in the park he also offers his services as a petsitter to our lucky KH members!

Dog Walker & Pet Sitter

​

Coming to us as a dog lover with multiple years experience as a cricket coach for teens, Idris also has infinite patience and a knack for picking up new skills quickly.

​

Great at looking out for the little guy, Idris became a favourite among the discerning dachshund's straight away. He's mastering clicker training, mentored by our senior team members and his timing is really excellent.

 

When he's not walking or doing sporty things he also loves caring for dogs in their homes as part of our petsitting service.

Coming to us with 2 years of doggy daycare experience, Lauren is kind and patient with all of our furry friends.

 

Growing up her family always had German Shepherds so she is up for a challenge and well on her way to understanding the complexities of the canine brain!

 

She is learning the KH way and further theory from our senior training team and we are so excited to have her join us.
