Hi, I'm Kathrin — the owner of Northolt Hounds and founder of The Mantrailing Club.
​
I offer reliable and professional dog walking, sitting, and training services across Northolt, Greenford, Ealing, Perivale, Southall, Hanwell, Harrow and the surrounding areas of
West London.
​
Whether your dog is big or small, shy or full of energy, I’m here to give them the individual care and attention they deserve.
You can rest assured your dog is in safe hands, I'm professional, qualified, and fully insured.
ABOUT ME
Originally from Austria, I’ve always had a deep love for nature and animals — especially dogs. For several years, I looked after my neighbours’ dogs in my free time, until I finally decided to turn my passion into a career and launched my own dog walking business in 2022.
​
I’m committed to continually expanding my knowledge and practical skills to provide the highest level of service to both dogs and their humans. I'm an accredited Mantrailing Global Instructor and hold a range of additional qualifications, including canine first aid, professional dog walking, and multiple IMDT dog training certifications.
​
I believe in reward-based, science-backed training methods. My approach focuses on building a strong bond with your dog, ensuring they feel safe, confident, and happy in my care through clear and calm communication. I have a particular passion for working breeds and am always looking for ways to meet each dog’s individual needs, both mentally and physically, to help them thrive.
​
Most of my services are one-to-one, tailored to meet the unique needs of your best friend. I’m happy to adapt my approach to suit your dog’s age, breed, and personality. I also have extensive experience working with rescue and reactive dogs and would love to support you on your training journey.

What is 'Mantrailing'?
​​​
​​
Mantrailing is a fun, low-impact sport where your dog learns to track down ‘missing’ people by following their unique scent trail.
​
But it’s more than just fun - sniffing is one of the best ways to mentally stimulate your dog. At The Mantrailing Club, my workshops tap into this natural ability, providing an enriching, confidence-building experience that channels your dog’s instinct to hunt in a safe and structured way.
​
Mantrailing is suitable for dogs of all ages, breeds, and abilities — even those with no recall. Nervous or reactive dogs are very welcome too! It’s fully inclusive, with all trails adapted to suit your dog’s specific needs.
