Our Story
Founder Lizzie is a professional dog trainer and runs the successful Kent-based dog walking and training academy Leading Paws. Alongside friend and business partner, Claire, she set up Here Comes the Hound in 2019 after spotting a niche in the wedding market after several clients asked for help in involving their dog in their wedding.

"Claire at Here Comes the Hound helped make our best day ever even better. From the initial consultation call with the team to our meet and greet with a run through of what we wanted our dog, Ruby, to do, it was all seamless with advice and guidance from the experts.
"Claire was brilliant on the day with Ruby, taking her for a walk in the morning, greeting guests when they arrived, dressing her in her special harness, collar and flower collar and of course allowing her to be our ring bearer, and then mingling with guests during the drinks reception and finally looking after her during the evening. It couldn’t have gone any better, and we are so grateful. Thank you!!!"

“Lizzie was superb from start to finish. Our dog, Koda, is a bit nervous so we were a bit sceptical about having him at our wedding and was originally going to try and photoshop him into pictures! We first spoke to Lizzie at a supplier day and we immediately felt comfortable and knew this is something we wanted to do.
“She came and met Koda before the big day to make sure what was best for him. She was fantastic on the day as well and he listened to her more than he does to us! We upgraded our package to the overnight stay and could not recommend Lizzie and Here Comes the Hound highly enough. Thank you!”

"Who knew dog chaperoning was a thing, but we are so glad we found Lizzie and Claire for our wedding. They looked after our 2 boisterous labradors and it meant we just didn't have to worry. They were looked after, entertained and there when we needed them with the rings.
From start to finish it was so easy to work with them, they replied to emails quickly, met in advance and kept in regular contact in the run up to the day. We couldn't recommend them enough and we are so glad we found them. Thank you!"

"We couldn’t have been happier with the service we received from Here Comes the Hound for our wedding. They took such amazing care of our dog, Delilah, both the night before and throughout the entire day of the wedding. It was a huge relief knowing she was in great hands, allowing us to focus on enjoying our special day.
"Delilah got to be a big part of our celebration - she greeted guests at the ceremony and even walked down the aisle with our flower girls, which was such a memorable moment for us and our guests. During cocktail hour, she mingled with our friends and family, bringing smiles to everyone.
"The best part was not having to worry about who was looking after her. Claire was fantastic—friendly, professional, and so easy to coordinate with for pick-up and drop-off. We felt completely at ease knowing Delilah was well cared for, and we’re so grateful for the peace of mind that brought us."
