Training classes & workshops

We offer a variety of weekly training classes including Puppy, Beginner and Move Up Classes - fun for all the family!

Early socialisation, play and training is crucial for puppies to develop into happy, confident, well-trained dogs. Focusing on this key stage will help you avoid future behavioural problems, form a strong bond with your puppy, and ensure that your fur baby turns into a contented and loved member of the family.

Happy dogs need happy training methods and we only ever use positive reinforcement training that rewards good behaviour and helps build a strong bond between you and your dog.

All participants receive a welcome pack that includes fun activities to do with your dog and a certificate on completion of the course.

Please note that a class environment is not suitable for dogs who are reactive. Please book a behaviour consultation if your dog barks, lunges, growls or snaps at other dogs or people.

Absolutely loved our classes, really learnt a lot and having the weekly session was a great incentive to train every day! We’ve booked onto the Advanced Skills ones to continue the good work, Bailey loves going too, gets so excited to see the other dogs!

I would definitely recommend Forests & Fetch for training. Thoroughly enjoyed our classes, it certainly has helped me and my little Pedro!

We would recommend Anna for any training needs. We’ve done both 1:1 training and a group class and both have been so helpful. We’re continuing with another set of classes and can’t wait to learn more.
