MEET THE TEAM
Heather
Owner & WalkerI have been working with rescue dogs for several years now and have experience of all breeds and behaviours. I am at my happiest when I am surrounded by four-legged friends! I adopted a Dachshund who had been illegally smuggled into the country from a puppy farm 2 years ago. Her name is Gooseberry! She has brought so much light into my life, even though she can be very naughty!! I have also fostered over 25 dogs, some with medical conditions, young puppies and dogs with behavioural concerns.
Kaye
Trainer & WalkerI've spent most of my life surrounded by canine companions. From helping to train my first family dog at age 9, to taking part in obedience, freestyle heelwork and agility displays, studying Animal Welfare and Behaviour at University and working in boarding and rescue kennels. It's fair to say I've learned a lot from all the dogs in my life. I strongly believe there is always more to learn when it comes to dog training and am continuing to expand my education even now. I don't currently own a dog of my own, but this gives me plenty of extra time to devote to all the wonderful dogs I help walk and train!
Ryan
Trainer & WalkerI have worked with dogs, specifically rescue dogs, for over 15 years. I have always been a great animal lover so it was easy for me to choose animal welfare & behaviour to study at school. I initially started my career by coming a volunteer at Dogs Trust, and from then I knew I had found my calling. I worked in kennels for many years, working my way up to be part of the behavioural team for the biggest rescue centre in the country. 15 years on and I'm still as focused and as passionate about dogs as I have always been, if not more! I am not me unless I am surrounded by dogs!
Bernice
WalkerI grew up on a farm in Zimbabwe so have been surrounded by dogs for most of my life! I have more than 15 years experience in dealing with dogs within a rehoming centre where you come across an abundance of breeds, sizes and behaviours of dogs! I had a rescue terrier cross for 14 years & he definitely ruled the roost! I now get my doggy fix by walking & boarding Heather’s Hounds dogs!

WalkerIt’s pretty hard to grow up with a sister like Heather and not be surrounded by dogs all day every day! From fostering doggies for 5 years, to volunteering at Dogs Trust, it’s fair to say I’ve met my fair share of 4-legged friends!
