About Katherine

Creating lasting relationships between you and your best friend. 

Hello!  
I'm Katherine and I help dedicated dog owners like you develop a stronger relationship with the dog in your family.   
Growing up a dog was always part of the family and I'm fortunate enough to share my life with Zelda, now, but it's not been a smooth journey.         

As a qualified Dog Trainer and a full member of the IMDT (Institute of modern dog training), I have gone through a stringent assessment process, resulting in the very best training and behavioural advice.  Being a member of the IMDT comes with a code of ethics that each and every IMDT qualified dog trainer has to adhere to.    

I'm also a Kids Around Dogs (KAD) approved trainer and offer a training package to help children and dogs become a great team and live harmoniously together, with a mutual understanding.    

In 2023 I completed specialist training in Scent Detection and qualified as a Scent Handler & Instructor (City & Guilds Certified) through The College of Scent Dogs (TCSD) who are leading professionals in this area.
In 2025 I also completed a Mantrailing certification, (also City & Guilds Certified through TCSD).

I am also fully insured through Pet Business Insurance, DBS Cleared, and Trained in Canine First Aid.    

Owning a dog is fantastic, and I truly believe that once you build your trust with one another, training comes easily, but if you find they need a little bit of extra help working things out I can guide and support you both on this journey to become an awesome team.
