Welcome to Forest and Field Dog Training, your local specialist dedicated to helping you and your pet gundog build a strong, respectful, and joyful partnership. Led by Fiona, an Accredited Pet Gundog Instructor, our mission is to provide expert guidance that is tailored to your dog’s unique personality and potential, whether you’re starting out with a puppy or refining skills in an adult gundog.

Gundogs are renowned for their intelligence, loyalty, and versatility, making them excellent family pets. However, their inherent energy, bounce, and drive require careful channelling to ensure they are well-mannered and fulfilled. Through positive, motivational training in a fun environment, owners can foster a strong relationship built on trust and understanding. Our approach emphasises understanding why dogs behave the way they do, helping owners harness their dog’s natural instincts, such as hunting and retrieving, to create a joyful partnership. Whether you’re training a young puppy or an older dog, our structured classes from beginner to advanced levels aim to enhance communication, confidence, and bond-building, culminating in a well-trained, happy dog you can be proud of.

At Forest and Field Dog Training, we are passionate about helping you and your gundog reach your full potential. Whether you're a beginner just starting out or an experienced handler aiming for advanced skills, our comprehensive, structured courses are designed to guide you every step of the way. Our aim is to foster a deep understanding of your dog’s natural instincts whilst building a strong, enjoyable partnership.

Our courses from Beginner, through to Working are fully accredited, offering a rewarding final assessment at each level, for those who wish to showcase their progress. You can choose between engaging group classes or personalised one-to-one coaching, tailored to your dog’s and your individual goals. All levels are designed to build confidence and competency, from foundational basics to advanced techniques.
