Meet the team that support you
We're a small team of dog lovers, committed to changing the stigma associated with muzzled dogs and their guardians, one muzzle at a time!
For the first time in my life, I was on the receiving end of the muzzle stigma! And my eyes were wide open!
I realised that in order to change the public perception of muzzled dogs, I would need to create a muzzle that didn't just look nice but it met the needs of the dogs wearing them.
Clara, Founder & Owner
Clara has worked with dogs her entire adult life and is committed to force-free practice. At 17 she ran her own dog grooming business while also working in a boarding kennels, before joining Dogs Trust, where she progressed through several specialised roles:
- Rehabilitation Trainer – implementing training and behaviour-modification plans and ensuring high welfare standards, including regular muzzle training as part of risk mitigation.
- Training & Behaviour Advisor – overseeing the specialist rehabilitation unit and creating bespoke plans for dogs with complex behaviour needs, including those with significant bite histories.
- Senior Training & Behaviour Advisor (South East) – supporting seven centres with behaviour strategies and risk-mitigation plans, working with some of the most challenging dogs, including those involved in court cases or serious incidents.

With a background as an accomplished chef, he keeps the unit immaculate, well-stocked, and running like a well-oiled machine. He brings both the positive energy and the muscle for the piece-punching.
He often joins us at events and fitting days, where he loves interacting with customers and is always first to snuggle a dog (and keeps the team well-fed at our accommodation!).
George and Clara share three gorgeous dogs: Atlas the bully mix, Pig the Cavalier x Westie, and his beloved Neli, a Bulgarian rescue.
