OUR TEAM
I am delighted to introduce you to Harry and our team! Having spent the last 20 years in teaching and 17 years in educational leadership roles, I felt it was time to be courageous and utilise my skills in a different way. I wanted to combine my love of dogs, my knowledge of dog behaviour and my passion for developing people into a fantastic family-run dog business.
We are fully licensed and insured.

Meet
Caroline
&
Arthur
Caroline is South African, originally from Malawi, and now calls North Yorkshire home, with family living locally in Ripon and Kirkby Malzeard. She's a primary school teacher and tutor, and she also spent time working as a full-time professional dog walker. She missed the classroom so much that she went back to teaching, but she couldn't give up the dogs either, so she found a way to bring together her two great passions.
Alongside her part-time teaching and tutoring, Caroline offers day care and boarding at weekends and during the school holidays, and she loves every minute of it.
Then there's Arthur, Caroline's nine-year-old rescue Lurcher. Arthur had a tough start in life. He was found as a tiny puppy in a shed with his littermates after his mum had sadly passed away, and Caroline gave him the home he deserved. These days he's known as HRH in the Harry & Co. household, and he lives up to that title every single day.
