I am a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CCPDT) & behaviourist from an ABTC certified course as well as Emergency Canine First Aid Certified.

I love and understand dogs and thus believe in ethical, positive training and interaction with your dog. Dogs after all are domesticated animals with brains thought to be on par with a 2-3 yr old child and like a child they need us to teach them and support them. I have thus made it my job to help you communicate with your dog and be there for them when you can't.

Arctic is certified by an animal behaviour course delivered by the notable Dr. Susan Friedman, as well as a course from Dr. Karolina Westlund to resolve challenging behaviour in combination of animal behaviour and ethology.

Arctic also studied with PACT to be an instructor in canine training. She is experienced working with private clients and from her time working at Battersea Dog’s Home.

Moreover, she is currently diving deeper into the field of aggression by studying with Michael Shikashio the expert of dog aggression.

Arctic offers Training Walk’s and Behaviour Consultation.

I’m Sophie and I have a Level 3 Diploma in Canine Care, Behaviour and Welfare. Currently, I am studying for my Level 5 Diploma in  Advanced Animal Behaviour, whilst joining That Dog Guy as an apprentice to ensure I can continue to learn and have enough time for my studies and my own Malinois/ Dutch Shepherd who has taught me the critical importance of consistency, dedicated training, breed-specific enrichment, confidence building, and calm, respectful leadership. Adopting him at eight months old, I empathize with many challenges owners face during adolescence, particularly with high-drive dogs. I have dealt with, and am currently dealing with, frustration-based dog reactivity. This experience has established a strong sense of empathy towards dog owners, as I understand their daily struggles and frustrations firsthand. My journey with my own dog has only strengthened my resolve to improve the quality of life for dogs and their owners. It has deepened my understanding of the unique needs of rescue dogs and fuelled my drive to be a confident dog advocate and leader.

Shiv is a DTC certified Dog Trainer who believes in treating the problem, not just the symptom’s. Her experience includes raising puppies to fostering trauma-based reactive dogs from shelters where she volunteered.

Shiv is committed to continuous learning and is excited to pursue her journey toward becoming a qualified behaviorist, focusing on helping dogs who have experienced trauma lead happy lives. She is also qualified in reiki, which she uses in a gentle, no-touch manner to support the dogs she works with, believing that energetic healing and communication play a significant role in helping fearful dogs gain confidence.

Having run her own dog training company, where she served over thirty clients in East London, Shiv felt that joining a team would provide a more fulfilling journey. She is eager to collaborate and work with you and your dog!

Having had his first successful career in landscape gardening and then in costume where he was nominated for an emmy, Richard has now turned his hands to dogs. He has done a number of courses with the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers and is continuing his study on the prestigious PACT course. Richard does walks, sitting and training walks.

Leyla’s passion for animals has been a lifelong journey, starting from her early years. Over time, she had the joy of owning a variety of pets (from dogs to rabbits to budgies and gerbils), and Leyla’s adventurous spirit led her to attempt a pet-sitting business at the age of 11 – though, “admittedly, £2 per day wasn't the epitome of entrepreneurial genius.”

Driven by her love for animals, she has transitioned into a career that feels more like a fulfilling vocation than a job. Leyla take pride in caring for your beloved dogs as if they were her own.

Looking forward, her aspirations include venturing into the world of dog training. She is excited about the prospect of further contributing to the well-being and development of our canine companions.

I’m Jono, a dedicated apprentice dog trainer currently obtaining my Canine Training Instructors certification through PACT. I have a deep love for dogs and a passion for helping them thrive. With a gentle approach, I focus on understanding each dog's unique personality and needs. I believe that trust, patience, and kindness are the foundations of any successful training journey. My goal is to strengthen the bond between dogs and their people through compassion and positive reinforcement. Every dog I work with is treated like family, and there's nothing more rewarding to me than seeing a once-anxious pet grow into a confident, happy companion.

Ellie has been training and assisting Tom and the team since the beginning of 2021 in conjunction with doing a course in dog behaviour at the CIDBT (Cambridge Institute of Dog Behaviour and Training).

Ellie states every work day is a joy with the dogs whether it’s taking a new group of puppies out on their first walk or helping an older rescue dog with reactive issues and seeing how far he has come. She can’t believe that she finally gets to work with one of the loves of her life on a daily basis.

She has two dogs, Lurchers, and she loves her clients almost as mush as her own!.

Ellie hopes to continue studying whilst working and carry on to achieve an accreditation from the CCPDT once she has complete my current course.

Ellie has also completed the Emergency Canine First Aid Course.

Karen has been with That Dog Guy from the early days initially starting as a walker whilst also working as a therapist. She now heads up the invoicing side of things but I’m delighted to say you won’t keep her from walking some of the dogs too! :)

Ella has a neuroscience degree and is deciding how and if to apply that. In the meantime she has proved taking to helping with the dogs isn’t rocket science.

At 17 Brooke is our youngest team member, (minus our head of marketing who is 11). However she consistently proves herself to be one of the very best and thus assists us, does 121 walks and dog sits when she’s not a college.

Robert was a successful cameraman mainly for the BBC. I have known him a long time and thus he kindly helps assisting the groups but we also couldn’t waste that talent so we force an iphone into his hand every now and then for training videos and that sort of jazz.

Brian is a semi retired businessman who now makes it his business to come on walks with us every day and help out with some 121 walks also.
