Built by founder, Catherine and grounded in experience, structure and respect for the dog
LNC Canine Club was created to raise the standard of dog care and training.
What began as one owner’s search for better support became a wider philosophy: calmer handling, clearer standards and more thoughtful progression.
Today the Club brings together structured walking, behaviour-led care and owner education under one consistent framework.
Standards & Development
All team members are trained and supported to work within the LNC framework, with continued development and education encouraged across roles.
Meet your Team
The people behind the standard.
At LNC Canine Club, our team is carefully selected, trained and supported to uphold the same professional standards across walking, training and pet care. Every handler works within our structured approach, with a deep respect for dogs as individuals.
Alongside each team member, you’ll meet their own dog. It’s an important part of how we learn, develop and live the standards we expect.
Catherine & Linc
Founder, Trainer & Walker
I’m Catherine, Founder of LNC Canine Club Ltd – a premium, behaviour-led dog walking, training and pet care service in Harrow and the surrounding areas.
My journey began with my own German Shepherd, Linc. When he became dog reactive during adolescence, I quickly realised that generic group walks weren’t the solution. He needed structure, clarity and purposeful fulfilment.
That experience led me to deepen my education in canine behaviour, working alongside respected trainers and continually investing in professional development. Through structured training and consistent leadership, Linc regained confidence and neutrality – and LNC Canine Club was born.
Today, we specialise in structured dog walking and behaviour-focused care designed to help dogs become calmer, more balanced companions – all within a supportive, like-minded community.
Her dog:
Linc – Chief Neutrality Officer. Linc is the reason the Club exists. Once an overwhelmed adolescent German Shepherd, he taught me that dogs thrive on structure, not chaos. With the right guidance and boundaries, he transformed from reactive to neutral. He now represents the calm, balanced standard we promote across our North West London dog walking and training services – and continues to inspire the culture of leadership, clarity and care that defines LNC Canine Club.

Her dogs:
Cassidy shares her life with two dogs Perry, a Cocker Spaniel Collie cross, and Jessie, a Jack Russell Chihuahua cross.

Sam
Dog Walker
Sam is a dedicated and capable member of the LNC Canine Club team, bringing a calm, thoughtful approach to both handling and canine care.

Through consistency, patience and a genuine passion for learning, Sam has become a valued part of the team with a particular appreciation for building trust and understanding with each individual dog.
His dog:
Jaida is Sam’s rescue Staffordshire Bull Terrier and has played a significant role in shaping his handling journey and understanding of canine behaviour. Working closely with Jaida has given Sam hands-on experience in structure, relationship building and advocacy, further strengthening his appreciation for calm guidance, appropriate fulfilment and clear communication.

Catherine has been absolutely instrumental in helping to train our anxious Dalmatian from when he was a puppy! She doesn’t just walk him, but has enriched his life in ways we didn’t even think was possible! From confidence boosting, to balanced play and obedience we know he is in the best hands.
We have also had Catherine look after Elphas in our house and have also recently sent him for boarding. Even though there are loads of forms to complete prior, we felt super reassured that Catherine had thought of everything that would ensure Elphas’s safety and we really appreciated the transparency. We got regular updates and he honestly looked like he was living his best life!!
Probably the best happy accident bumping into you in the park almost 2 years ago!
Thankyou for everything you do for us and Elphas 🙂
Catherine has been walking our Romanian rescue since January 2023. Shelby is not an easy dog, but Catherine has been so patient and co-operative in working with her and celebrating her wins. Catherine is highly professional and attentive to our dogs’ individual needs; I’m so glad we found her! Shelby adores Catherine and goes nuts every time she arrives her for walks, which is lovely to see. I would have no hesitation in recommending Catherine for anyone looking for a structured, engaging and reliable dog walker.
Catherine has been walking our small Romanian rescue boy Flynn for over 2 years and has been instrumental in improving his reactive behaviours and socialisation. He’s gone from having two solo walks a week, due to his grumpiness, to five group walks a week with all different shapes and sizes of dogs. Catherine has also looked after Flynn while we’ve been away on numerous occasions and we are always confident that he is in safe hands. Catherine has built a strong bond with Flynn and he absolutely loves spending time with her. We would not hesitate to recommend LNC Walks to anyone looking for someone who is so much more than your average dog walker!
I cannot recommend Catherine and her team enough! I was at my wits end with my 9 month old boxer pup who was boisterous, unruly and a little bit naughty! She got kicked out of day care and I didn’t know what to do. I found Catherine, Cassie and Lenice at LNC walks and I’ve now got a beautiful, well adjusted and happy dog! When she hears the key in the door at pick up time she is so excited to go on her walks with Cassie! The team are so kind and patient and always have the best advice. Thank you ladies! You are amazing
Catherine has walked our enthusiastic German Shepherd since April 2022, Tetley is a two year old male and can be quite a handful, from the initial consultation Catherine put us, and him, at ease. She has walked him two days a week, first on solo walks to build a rapport with him (which we would totally recommend) and then as part of a fantastic little group of well suited, and considered dogs. She also did two drop ins a week for us to do play sessions with Tetley whilst we were at work. Much more than a dog walker, she also offers structure and training to dogs during her visits. We started with Catherine when LNC Walks was just starting out and we wanted to support a new and local business and are absolutely thrilled that her business is thriving and expanding. We found it so reassuring to have a dependable schedule and routine with her, but also found her very flexible and able to add in extra visits when our timetables inevitably changed. On a number of occasions Catherine looked after Tetley at our house whilst we were on holiday and we always felt so comfortable leaving her in our home and with our dog. She is very easy to communicate with and we have found her so helpful and enjoyable to work with.
Catherine has been a complete godsend to us, and Tetley, and we cannot recommend her enough. She is diligent, hard-working and extremely loyal - much like the shepherds she loves. She's become so much more than a dog walker to us in the last year and a half and we all absolutely adore her. If there were 10 stars available on Google reviews we would have given them!!
Catherine is an absolute superstar. We’ve been using LNC walks for just over 6 months, and the improvement we’ve seen in our 2 year old cockapoo is incredible. He used to be really overexcited around other dogs, whereas now he will disengage with enthusiasm! I feel so at ease when Bobby goes with Catherine each week and I know he is having the best time/learning so much at the same time. Not only is Catherine a fantastic dog walker, she is there to offer advice if needed, and takes Bobbys safety very seriously which I really appreciate. If you’re looking for a dog walker I can’t recommend Catherine & LNC walks enough!
Catherine has been walking my dog for a few months now and the change in her behaviour while walking is amazing! Walks had sometimes become “drags” with stubborn stopping and waiting to say hi to every dog that was coming near. Catherine has worked absolute magic to get my dog to understand what is expected of her on a walk. She walks at my side, keeping up, and small, simple cues get her back on track if she gets distracted. Her recall has improved hugely too, and nearly always I can get her to leave her new doggy “best friend” and come over to carry on walking. I’ve recently been taking her on long walks that wouldn’t have been possible before Catherine had spent time training her, and walks are now an enjoyable time for us all (now there are times we almost can’t keep up with the dog!) Catherine is also always happy to give advice and help with training and is really invested in seeing the dogs she takes on make progress.
Catherine is amazing. If you're looking for reliability and structured, engaging walks then LNC Walks is the place to get it.
I have a big, strong 49kg people reactive GSD and Catherine makes walking him look like a piece of cake. My dog can sometimes pull, decide he's walking you and if he sees a squirrel he's off but Catherine is not only competent but confident in managing my boy.
Catherine has taken the time to get to know my dog, learn his likes and dislikes and really form a bond with him and the walks are just a continuation of the training we already do which provides my boy with the consistency he needs to really excel and make the right choices when out and about.
What can I say? LNCwalks really are the best. The whole team is so lovely and kind. Mary has been incredible with Oracle — she can initially be a bit nervous, but seeing how quickly she’s warmed up to Mary and how beautifully they’ve already bonded means the world to me. They don’t just walk her; they reinforce all the training I’ve done, give her structure, keep her day interesting, and never judge the tools you use for your own dog! And can I just add, the quality of the photos they take is so beautiful, and the videos are amazing too!
If you’re looking for a walker, I honestly couldn’t recommend LNCwalks more. Thank you Catherine, Mary, and the entire team!
Cassie is a brilliant walker/trainer, and Catherine took him on when others didn't want a difficult big dog.
My Akita loves Cassie and looks forward to his walks with excitement.
Trust her completely with him! Highly recommended.
Start with our Calm Walk Checklist
If walks feel chaotic or unpredictable, begin here.
Our Calm Walk Checklist helps owners understand what may be influencing their dog’s behaviour on walks before adding more pressure, training or stimulation.
Calm, structured care starts with clarity
Whether your dog needs ongoing care, behaviour support or simply a clearer starting point, we begin by understanding the dog in front of us.
