Welcome to Popwood Labradors

I am rather passionate about dogs! I am fascinated by understanding how they learn, and for me training is about a calm, compassionate and curious collaboration. I delight in a dog working out for themselves what I'm asking rather than any nagging or force.  

While I specialise in gundogs, my passion extends to all breeds, ensuring that every dog receives the support it deserves.

With 3 lovable Labradors by my side and over 6 years of experience teaching countless owners how to train their dogs, I'm here to share the secrets of successful training!

About me

A passion for teaching dogs (& their owners!)

My approach focuses on breaking down training into simple, step-by-step processes. I make sure to explain not only the how but also the why behind each method, empowering you with knowledge and confidence in your training journey.

I also strongly believe in the potential of puppies to learn (and enjoy learning!) and I want to support you to start right and start young.

Whether it's preparing for a new puppy or dog, enjoying stress-free walks or developing gundog skills, my primary aim is to support you and your dog to develop your relationship. I want to empower you to build a strong and positive bond with your dog that lasts a lifetime!

Thank you for all the training, support and guidance. You are always so calm when I am often not! I don't know what I would have done without you.
