Her skills as a dog chaperone are unrivalled
Rhiannon is an enthusiastic, calm and kind individual who I would no doubt trust with my dogs, and to be part of my wedding day as a professional. Her skills as a trainer and dog chaperone are unrivalled, and with such a niche service on offer, her services are a brilliant and fairly priced addition well worth considering for your special day.

We cannot speak highly enough of Rhiannon.
We have known her since 2022 and have used her dog training, dog boarding, dog grooming and wedding chaperone services over the years. Her knowledge and kindness are second to none. I wouldn’t have trusted anyone else to chaperone our anxious girl to our wedding other than her. Anyone lucky enough to have her locally has dropped on to an absolute hidden gem in the dog industry. 10/10 recommend The Doghouse Collective.

Would highly recommend!
Rhiannon was amazing with our German shepherd puppy - she taught us the best techniques and methods to bring the best out in her! It shows even now years later how well behaved she is! We have kept in touch and she has always been there for support when needed! Rhiannon was even a part of our wedding day as we asked her to chaperone our dogs, walking them down the aisle and handling them beautifully for photos and kept them calm around so many people! 100% recommend!

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

Why should we hire a professional dog chaperone instead of asking a guest?

Your guests should be free to enjoy your wedding without responsibility. Having a professional dedicated to your dog ensures their safety, comfort, and timing are handled properly, while allowing friends and family to fully enjoy the day.

As a professional dog chaperone service, we hold Public Liability and Care, Custody and Control insurance, which is essential as it provides protection in the unlikely event of accidents, injury, or damage while your dog is in our care - something friends or family members are typically not insured for.

While your local dog walker or groomer may love your dog, they may not have experience recognising the early signs of stress or anxiety in a busy wedding environment, or managing those situations effectively to maintain your dog’s well-being.

What happens to our dog after the ceremony or photos?

That’s completely up to you. We can are flexible to fit your plans and requirements - we can remain with your dog for the duration of the day, drop them off with a trusted contact, or they can be transported back and take advance of our 1:1 home boarding.

Do we need to provide anything for our dog on the day?

We usually ask you to provide any treats your dog enjoys or a favourite toy, the equipment they will be wearing on the day including their collar, lead and harness. We have a range of wedding day accessories your pup can borrow for the day which is included with your booking and we work closely with Peaky Barkers who make bespoke wedding outfits for dogs!

Can you help if our dog is nervous or excitable?

Yes - we understand that weddings can be busy and overwhelming for some dogs. Holding an MSc in Animal Behaviour and having worked with dogs for over 16 years, we focus on your dog's well-being and make sure they're not feeling overwhelmed or stressed, planning in plenty of breaks and quiet time for if it is needed. We also offer multiple meet and greet sessions to help your dog feel extra relaxed and happy around us before your wedding day.

Can you transport our dog to and from the venue?

Yes! Within all our packages we include the safe and secure transport of your dog to and from your venue, ensuring they arrive relaxed and ready to be part of your day.

Will you work with our photographer and venue?

With every booking we coordinate with your planner, venue and photographer to ensure your dog is included safely and at the right moments without disrupting the flow of the day. A wedding day timeline for your dog can be provided to you at no extra cost!
