Meet the Team
ESZTER AND GRAHAM
Owners and head trainers
We are Eszter and Graham, the founders of Quality Chops, and proud owners of two Hungarian Vizslas, Marvin and Bobby. Our passion for dogs and training began with Marvin, our first Vizsla, and has grown into a lifelong commitment to providing high-quality care and training for dogs.
After many years working in hospitality and finance, we decided to leave our corporate careers behind and dedicate ourselves fully to working with animals. Graham, formerly an operations director, brings strong organizational, logistical, and financial expertise to ensure the smooth running of Quality Chops. Eszter’s background in finance and her love of the outdoors inspired her to take the leap into building a business centred on dogs, leading to the creation of Quality Chops.
When we struggled to find a local environment that offered structured, safe, and enriching care for Marvin, we decided to create it ourselves. Our goal has always been to provide a place where dogs are not only exercised, but also understood, supported, and given opportunities to learn and rest.
We now run a variety of group classes — including puppy, neutrality and obedience, and urban training — alongside private one-to-one sessions. We also spend plenty of time out and about with the dogs, ensuring they get the right balance of exercise, structure, and socialisation.
In addition to running Quality Chops, we are proud volunteers with Vizsla Rescue UK and Pets As Therapy.
Marvin
Marvin, our first Vizsla, is the dog who sparked our love for training, adventure walks, and truly learning about dogs. He has a complex personality — sensitive and affectionate, but also needing clear boundaries and structure. His absolute favourite thing is swimming, which inspired us to start taking our boarding and daycare dogs to the pool too.
Marvin now trains in agility with Graham every week, and we’re aiming to compete with him soon. He constantly pushes us to be better handlers and motivates us to keep broadening our knowledge of dog behaviour.
Bobby
Bobby, Marvin’s brother, makes our team complete. He’s the one who keeps us laughing with his unique facial expressions and brings an incredible amount of joy to every day. He’s also the most engaging, eager-to-learn companion we could ask for.
Bobby is a certified Pets As Therapy dog, visiting hospitals and schools with us to bring comfort and smiles. He has also completed his Elite Level Detection Dog certification, and he now works as an assistance dog. His enthusiasm for learning and working continues to inspire us every day. He is the perfect stooge dog
Molly and rocco
Trainee dog trainer and pack walker
“Hi everyone! I’m Molly, I am so excited to share that I’ve joined the amazing team at Quality Chops.
I’ve recently started my mentorship with Phoenix k9 dog training and I am looking forward to learning more, growing my skills and strengthening my knowledge. I am all about providing safe, fun, enriching walks that your pups will love.
I’ve always been passionate about dogs - big or small, shy or bouncy, and I love getting to know each one’s unique personality. Walks in the forest are my favorite — fresh air, muddy paws, and happy dogs make the perfect combo!
In my spare time you will usually find me out having fun with my own dog Rocco. We love exploring new places, training together and getting stuck into gundog activities!”
This is Rocco, my Black Labrador and best pal. Rocco is full of personality — he is a massive foodie (a true Labrador!), is always up for some fun, and never says no to exploring new places as well as a cuddle on the sofa!
Everyone’s dog training journey starts somewhere, we started training with Rocco, August 2024 with the support of Eszter & Graham. Through lots of training, patience, and teamwork Rocco is now offlead, neutral and living his best life. We have built a bond that’s stronger than I ever imagined. He’s the one who made me fall in love with dog training — not just the skills, but the joy of really connecting with your dog and learning to communicate in a way that works for both of you.
Rocco has taught me the importance of fulfilling a dog’s natural instincts, whether that’s through gundog activities, structured training, or simply giving him the space to sniff, run, and be a dog.

our core-pack
It’s only fair if we introduce you to our most neutral dogs at Quality Chops. We trust these dogs to be the perfect role models to anyone joining us. All of them are well mannered, neutral and have lovely temperament. All dogs learn from them while spending time around. One of them (if not all) will always be part of a neutral packwalk or training session.
Ruby - Labradoodle
She is one of a kind! Very friendly and fair. She has been coming to us for walks and daycare since she was 3 months old. She is our first go to introducing new dogs.
Niyah - Hungarian vizsla
Loves playing with other dogs and very good at communicating when they are being too much. She is happy to just coexist with others. She has been coming to us for walks, daycare and boarding.
Baloo - Bernese Mountain dog
A gentle soul who is respectful of the others and would do anything for food. Baloo came to us reactive and turned into a stooge dog after training with us during walk and train sessions. He is the living proof that training doesn’t have to be for years and all dogs can overcome their difficulties.
Gatsby - Kangal x Akita
A gentle giant who will play with all dogs who want to play and just exist around them when they aren’t so interested. He is extremely foody and handler focused and a very easy boy to work with.
Marvin and Bobby - Hungarian vizslas
You can read more about the boys on our meet the team page. Stooge dogs for our classes and role models for many dogs in our care. Bobby is a working therapy dog.
Kaiser - Staffordshire bull terrier
Kaiser loves to play with sticks and occasionally join on a chase in the long grass. Very respectful of others, read social cues very well. Kaiser started with us on walk and trains to perfect his recall and now one of our stooge dogs.
