Mark has always been involved with dogs from a young age, training his first gundog at the age of 10.

He started a training and exercising company for dogs in central London in 1994 and three years later moved to Carmarthenshire with his wife Gillian and together they founded The Dog House. Mark’s passion is for teaching dogs and their owners to get the best out of their relationship with each other.

Gillian left London and a career in the arts to set up The Dog House with Mark in 1997.

She is responsible for client liason and the administration and logistics of the company as well as squeezing in time for their three children, Amber, Hugo and Maximus.

With over 15 years of dog training and handling experience, Danny is the longest standing member of our team.

He is also responsible for the safe transportation of our guests between London and Wales.

Louise has a BSC in Animal Behaviour and is a provisional member of the APBC.

She implements our behavioural modification programmes and training courses as well as our written reports for owners. She is passionate about training dogs and their owners.

Jillian has recently joined us as our groomer after being a lead volunteer for 6 months at the African Dawn Bird and Wildlife Sanctuary in the Eastern Cape, South Africa. Prior to that she has also worked as an animal welfare assistant at Battersea Dog’s and Cat’s Home, London. She is responsible for returning our guests to their owners immaculately clean, with shiny teeth and manicured paws just prior to their departure. She also has a keen interest in behaviour and training and will ensure that all of our guests find their experience of being groomed a calm and rewarding one.
