# Handful of Hounds
Handful of Hounds is a professional dog care service based in Berkhamsted that specialises in dog walking and home-from-home boarding. The business caters to busy dog owners and those requiring temporary pet care solutions, whether for work commitments, holidays, or unexpected absences.
What distinguishes Handful of Hounds is their commitment to canine welfare and professional credentials. The team holds full insurance coverage, DBS clearance, and recognised canine first aid and emergency care training—essential qualifications that demonstrate their competence in handling dogs safely and responsibly. They're also officially licensed by Dacorum Borough Council, providing clients with peace of mind that they're entrusting their pets to a properly regulated service.
Their home-from-home boarding approach means dogs stay in a domestic environment rather than kennels, reducing stress and maintaining familiar routines. This personalised care model is particularly valuable for dogs with anxiety or those requiring individualised attention. The walking service addresses the common challenge dog owners face in ensuring their pets receive adequate daily exercise and mental stimulation.
Located in Berkhamsted, they serve the local community and surrounding areas. Their emphasis on being "canine first"—evident from their branding and professional qualifications—signals that the business prioritises dog wellbeing above convenience or profit. This philosophy appeals to conscientious pet owners seeking trustworthy, experienced handlers who understand dog behaviour and welfare requirements.
