MEET THE TEAM

Our team shares a passion for helping dogs in need and regularly support dog charities around the country. Paramount is our dedication to the dogs in our care.

Co Owner

Liam

Liam started his career in dog security, training and rescue over 18 years ago, and continues to run multiple dog-centric businesses in the local area since 2005.

He now works alongside Lauren full time at the kennels, with the help of kennel assistant and dog handler, Rob.

Co Owner

Lauren

Working in the veterinary industry since 2008, Lauren's love for all animals is why she became a veterinary nurse. Dogs, especially, are her biggest passion and working with them - improving their training and behaviour - is her dream job.

Lauren still works at the vets, but dedicates most of her time to looking after the dogs at the kennels.

Kennel Assistant

Rob

Rob has worked with Liam since 2018. He is a dedicated and devoted dog lover, trained in canine first aid and currently studying for his qualification in dog behaviour.

Rob enjoys MMA fighting in his spare time; at other times you'll find him cuddling up with every dog he meets including his own tiny Chihuahua, Bella.

Between Lauren and Liam they have 12 - yes, 12! - of their own dogs. Both owners compete with their dogs in high level agility awards including Crufts and Olympia, and have been selected for Team GB.
