Who We Are...
Katrina Williams, Owner, Trainer and Behaviourist
Dogworthy's origin story starts with Spud—a rescue Bull Terrier from Battersea who completely changed the game. He was brilliant and hilarious… and an absolute nightmare. If he didn't think it was a good idea it wasn't going to happen, and being forceful would never work because he's way stronger than me. Spud forced me to sharpen every skill I had. He taught me that real dog training isn’t about quick fixes or textbook theory—it’s about clarity, consistency, and understanding who your dog actually is.
Dogworthy was born from that experience: practical, ethical training designed for real dogs and real lives.
I hold a First-Class BSc in Applied Animal Behaviour and an FdSc in Canine and Feline Industries. I’m a full member of the IMDT, APDT, and ABTC, and regularly complete CPD to stay at the forefront of dog behaviour science. My research into visual cues and canine focus was shortlisted for Dissertation of the Year by the British Biological Society. I also provide behavioural assessments for local social services and support residential housing developments with canine welfare and behaviour issues.
Before launching Dogworthy full time, I spent over a decade in frontline public service—experience that now feeds directly into my structured, calm, and practical approach to behaviour cases. These days, I split my time between running behaviour consults, teaching group classes, training my own dogs, and mentoring my team. I love it all.
Today, Dogworthy is one of West London’s longest-running dog training and behaviour services. We operate from a purpose-built training venue in Greenford and have helped over 3,000 dogs with everything from basic manners to complex behavioural issues. Whether it’s pulling on the lead, barking at strangers, or learning how to settle when you want to watch tv, we help dogs become calmer, more focused, and easier to live with—without using fear or force.If you’re looking for training that actually helps your dog—and makes your life easier—I’d love to help.
Although the dog training industry is unregulated, I have worked hard to consolidate my skills and experience with academic and recognised accreditation.
I am a member of the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers, the Association of Pet Dog Trainers and am registered with the Animal Behaviour Training Council.
