About Us…

Chris & Helen at International Animal Rescue, Goa, 2008

In 2010, Chris and Helen returned from Asia where they had been doing animal rescue work with dogs and cats for Animals Asia and International Animal Rescue. They decided they wanted to set up a local business in Helen’s home-town that would provide dogs with great off-lead walks and peace of mind for their owners whilst they were at work. And so, Animal Kind pet services was born.

Over the years, they expanded the business with Cerie & Ellie joining the team. As they became dog training instructors – and Chris qualified as a behaviourist too, the business was delivering both pet services AND dog training.

So in 2017, to make life easier, they created two companies:  Animal Kind Dog Training, which now deals solely with dog training and Dorridge Dogs, which delivers pet services in the Knowle and Dorridge area with a team of dog walkers to make sure that your regular slots are always covered.
