Meet the Team
ESZTER AND GRAHAM
We are Eszter and Graham and our two Hungarian vizslas, Marvin and Bobby. Our real love for big walks, dog training and dogs started with Marvin our first vizsla.
Both of us worked in hospitality and finance for many years (that’s how we met) before deciding to leave it all behind and put all our love and energies into something we love, looking after and training dogs and just spending every day with animals. Graham used to be an operations director so he is bringing all the skills to the day to day tasks and having everything organized at Quality Chops to ensure everything goes smoothly. He has a vast knowledge of logistics and finances which really helps us to be able to run the business successfully.
Eszter worked in finance and worked at a desk 9-5 which made her want to be outside with her dogs and when her employer told her to go back to the office full time she took the risk and Quality Chops was born. We could start by saying that “Eszter always had a love for dogs since she was a child…” which wouldn’t be a lie but won’t bore you with that. When we got our dog Marvin we put a lot of time and effort in training him and raising him to be a polite and well behaved dog so when we looked for somewhere to send him locally while we are in the office and we couldn’t find anywhere.
We didn’t want a free for all and wanted a safe environment where someone advocates for him and he also have some down time during the day. Because it wasn’t existing in our area we decided to take the big step and create it ourselves.
These days you will find us on a field somewhere in the middle of nowhere surrounded by dogs or doing walk and trains and group classes. We love to build bond with every single one of the dogs and will spend a lot of time getting to know them individually. We are both focusing on training a lot and constantly learning more about dogs which helps us provide the best possible service we can. We are both volunteers for Vizsla Rescue UK and Pets as Therapy.
Marvin
Our first vizsla and the dog who made us fall in love with dog training, big adventure walks and made us learn about dogs. He loves swimming more than anything else so we often take our boarding/daycare dogs to doggy swimming pool. Complex personality, very sensitive and loving but needs the boundaries and structure. He is now attending agility with Graham weekly which he very much enjoys and hope to compete one day. You will most probably meet him either at a meet and greet or one of our group classes.
Bobby
Marvin’s brother from the same parents makes our team whole. He brings all the laughs to the day with his unique facial expressions while being the most engaging boy a dog owner can ask for. Bobby is now a certified Pets As Therapy volunteer dog and attends hospitals and schools with Eszter and Graham to cheer people up. He also progressed to advanced detection dog class which he enjoys very much. You will most probably meet him at our meet and greet or at our group classes.
Aimee and oakley
I'm Aimee, the newest member of the Quality Chops team! I'm thrilled to announce that I'll be offering dog walking, training, and group classes in the Kings Langley area and beyond.
For the past two years, I've dedicated myself to learning all about dogs by shadowing experienced trainers and attending seminars across the country. Canine behaviour is my passion, and I love discovering new and effective ways to help dogs learn and thrive.
I can't wait to meet all of your wonderful dogs and work with you as part of the Quality Chops family.
Meet Oakley, my one-year-old Golden Retriever and my constant training partner!
Oakley is full of life and always up for an adventure. In my spare time, I love working with him to improve his skills, particularly his neutrality and behaviour around other dogs. He thrives at gun dog training, absolutely adores swimming, and never says no to a good game of tug!
His friendly nature makes him a joy to be around-though he can sometimes be a little too enthusiastic when meeting new friends, both human and canine. Oakley's favourite food is fish and he's always eager to learn something new.
You might spot him at a class or out on a walk with me in the future. He's a lovely boy with a big personality, and I'm so proud of the progress we're making together!
our core-pack
It’s only fair if we introduce you to our most neutral dogs at Quality Chops. We trust these dogs to be the perfect role models to anyone joining us. All of them are well mannered, neutral and have lovely temperament. All dogs learn from them while spending time around. One of them (if not all) will always be part of a neutral packwalk or training session.
Ruby - Labradoodle
She is one of a kind! Very friendly and fair. She has been coming to us for walks and daycare since she was 3 months old. She is our first go to introducing new dogs.
Niyah - Hungarian vizsla
Loves playing with other dogs and very good at communicating when they are being too much. She is happy to just coexist with others. She has been coming to us for walks, daycare and boarding.
Baloo - Bernese Mountain dog
A gentle soul who is respectful of the others and would do anything for food. Baloo came to us reactive and turned into a stooge dog after training with us during walk and train sessions. He is the living proof that training doesn’t have to be for years and all dogs can overcome their difficulties.
Gatsby - Kangal x Akita
A gentle giant who will play with all dogs who want to play and just exist around them when they aren’t so interested. He is extremely foody and handler focused and a very easy boy to work with.
Marvin and Bobby - Hungarian vizslas
You can read more about the boys on our meet the team page. Stooge dogs for our classes and role models for many dogs in our care. Bobby is a working therapy dog.
Kaiser - Staffordshire bull terrier
Kaiser loves to play with sticks and occasionally join on a chase in the long grass. Very respectful of others, read social cues very well. Kaiser started with us on walk and trains to perfect his recall and now one of our stooge dogs.
