Eckhart Tolle wrote about dogs as “Guardians of Being” — guides who remind us to step out of our busy minds and simply be. Still. Present. Undistracted.

While we humans get caught up in stories, worries, and the noise of everyday life, our dogs live fully in the present. No ego. No endless mental chatter. Just presence.

This is what inspires the way I teach. Training isn’t only about your dog’s behaviour — it’s about you too. When owner and dog learn together, the result is more than obedience… it’s connection, calm, and a deeper sense of balance. ✨

Tell me — how has your dog helped you reconnect with the present moment lately? I’d love to hear.

Happy International Dog Day. All the dogs I have had the pleasure to own - Rhubarb, Lettie, Wilf, Beetle, Beena and Olive. Each one a huge part of our lives. Without them there would be no Dog Lab. They have taught me so much about Labradors. About dogs. Their wonderful and sometimes challenging personalities (oh hi Lettice with the many isms). Their pure love, dedication, the sound of their paws on the kitchen floors. Just everything and now I get to do this as a job. Bloody brilliant. ❤️

🐾 For the dog who’s part of your life, not just your home 🐾

If you want a well-behaved dog you can joyfully live with, you’re in the right place.

I use proven, force-free methods to help you build a calm, confident dog — and a bond that lasts a lifetime.

This isn’t about teaching circus tricks, endless treats or harsh methods.
It’s about creating a dog you can trust in every setting:
✔ Steady in the field, on a walk off lead
✔ Relaxed at home
✔ Welcome in the pub garden
✔ Happy and calm in the company of other dogs.

With 1:1 training tailored to you and your dog, we’ll strengthen the partnership between you — so you have not just an obedient dog, but a trusted companion ready to share life’s adventures, from wonderful walks to quiet evenings by the fire.

Discover the difference of genuine, effective gundog training designed for real life.

1:1 sessions take place in Churchill OX7 just outside Chipping Norton.

🐾 Puppy Socialisation & Training – Starts Wednesday 10th September 🐶

Got a new puppy in your life? Join me for a relaxed and friendly 6-week Puppy Socialisation & Training course, starting Wednesday 10th September at 6pm at Churchill Village Hall.

This class is all about getting you and your pup off to the very best start. Over six weeks, I’ll guide you through the foundations of good behaviour and help you build a brilliant bond with your new best friend.

We’ll cover the basics like:
✅ Sit
✅ Lead walking
✅ Recall
✅ Down
✅ Leave it
…and so much more.

It’s also a great space to ask all those questions that come up in the early (and often slightly overwhelming!) days of dog ownership.

Whether you’re a first-time puppy parent or just need a little guidance, you’ll leave feeling more confident, connected and ready to enjoy the adventure ahead.

Spaces are limited – message to book your spot now.
I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! 🐕
