About Phil Garton - Owner and Trainer


Phil has never been without a dog by his side, having had the good fortune to grow up in the company of dogs from a young age. Phil started his career working with gundogs shortly after he married his wife Pauline, when they took on their first black labrador.
Since then he’s made up two field trial champions, one of which he bred. He’s also had the honour and privilege of being an international and UK A panel judge.

Phis expertise has been recognised regionally, nationally and internationally and recently his capabilities demonstrated at Crufts. Phil and several of his dogs were invited to De Montfort University, Leicester, where he spoke at length with a class of students on the physical and emotional benefits of interacting with dogs.
