The Training Club
All rounded dog training available at Bedgebury Pinetum & Forest
Next Available Classes Start:
Tuesday 19th May - Morning: 9:30am - 10:45am
Any age & breed welcome!
Our Training Club can take you from foundations to advanced obedience. We work in a natural environment and around real distractions to ensure your training works in the real world! Learn how to train your dog, gain communication and responsiveness in all environments and build the best relationship with your canine companion.
We offer obedience training for dogs of any age, whether you have a puppy or a new rescue or adult dog that needs some help, these groups are perfect for learning all the skills needed to raise a responsive and motivated dog.
"Is this group the right fit for me and my dog?" Training is so much more than obedience, it's centred around communication, relationship and understanding your dog better. We're looking for dedicated owners who want to challenge themselves and work with their dog consistently to see long term changes & results from their training! These classes are not a quick fix for problem behaviours, they're a way of working with your dog and building the best relationship with your canine best friend.
