Maher & Hound Dog Training & Behaviour

'Specialist Dog Trainer of the Year' 2024, London & South East 'Most Patient Dog Behaviourist' South East 2022. IMDTB accredited
(35)

We blend expertise with passion to offer tailored training solutions that foster a harmonious bond between you and your dog. I love helping dogs so much that I left a 20-year career in fashion PR to retrain as a dog behaviourist and trainer. I am fully qualified and accredited as a Dog Behaviourist by the IMDT - the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers, and I’m proud to be vet-recommended. No two dogs

are the same and I approach each one uniquely and with empathy. My mindset extends to the dog's owner, too; building a bond between owner and dog makes training a pleasure for you both. I offer behavioural modification programmes and individually tailored puppy, dog and pet gundog training. I also have personal experience with anxious dogs: my beloved Jack Russell Tiggy was reactive and frightened and it was helping her regain confidence which inspired my switch in career. I am passionate about staying up-to-date with science-based research and in 2021 I completed a year’s mentorship with Steve Mann, the founder of the IMDT and author of Easy Peasy Puppy Squeezy and Dave Brice, head of Dog Behaviour at the IMDT. In 2021 I was also awarded ‘Dog Trainer of the Year’ Hampshire. You can read all about my experiences with dogs in this feature about me in The Telegraph (pinned on my page). When I’m not working I’m usually with my family, out with our own dogs; we have five, including Fred, the rescue ‘Hound’ proudly honoured in my company name: Maher & Hound.

Our story. How can Maher & Hound help you?

Karen Maher IMDTB, founder

I know what it’s like to have a dog who is reactive, frightened on walks and who struggles with confidence - it’s heart-breaking. And helping a dog go from anxious to full of life through a series of bespoke coaching methods is the reason I became a behaviour consultant.

I have spent many years studying how to remedy behavioural issues and learnt first-hand with my own Jack Russell, Tiggy. On rehoming her, she would instinctively lunge at other dogs and bark to scare them away, but I soon worked out how to calm her and instil a change in her nature. She eventually became a joy to take on walks and my beloved companion. When she died I was spurred to create a legacy for her by helping other troubled dogs.

I left a high-profile career in fashion PR to pursue canine behavioural therapy and helping other people’s dogs gives me so much satisfaction. I also offer one-to-one training, bespoke puppy and adolescent dog training and specialise in recall for Hounds, Labradors, Spaniels and other working breeds.

No two dogs are the same and I approach each dog uniquely and with empathy. I extend this mindset to every dog’s owner too, because I understand first-hand how difficult behaviour can impact and the helplessness that can be felt. I stay updated with science-based research, CPD and believe in ethical practices.

Now I have five dogs of my own, including Fred, the rescue ‘Hound’ proudly honoured in my company name: Maher & Hound.
