Hi! I’m Andy and I have loved and looked after dogs all my life. In 2017 I set up a dog boarding facility in my home in Walthamstow. I wanted to create a fun, safe and sociable space for dogs and something that could offer a real home-away-from-home experience.
I’m proud to have achieved a diploma in Canine Coaching, allowing me to take my dog training even further!
Testimonials

What a wonderful man! Andy looked after our beloved puppy Cooper for a few weeks & I couldn’t recommend him more highly. It’s rare to find someone who genuinely loves & cares for your dog like it’s their own. Every morning we’d drop cooper off, he’d rush to get to Andy’s house, and every evening he’d be shattered

Andy is really knowledgeable on all things dog and is very approachable. He has a genuine passion for dogs and their welfare. Our spaniel Myles always enjoys his visits (as do we!), it’s like a home from home and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend
Jo P.
Andy is friendly and easy to talk to and has been very accommodating of my slightly overenthusiastic Lab puppy, Pepper. He takes the dogs on long walks in the forest and engages them in fun activities. Andy is also concerned with Pepper’s training and although not training her officially, he expects good behaviour of her and encourages her down the right path. I would highly recommend Andy’s service (but not too much, as I would still like there to be space for Pepper when she needs to visit!)

Just picked Clarence up from his day with Andy. He is fast asleep now on his bed. Clarence has found a friend in Andy and I have complete peace of mind that the feeling is mutual. I cannot recommend Andy enough… Clarence loves his time spent with Andy and we do have crying in the car at home time! Thanks Andy for all your time and patience, you are a real dog whisperer.

Forest Dogs offers an excellent service. I am an experienced dog owner and I know when I leave my dogs in Andy’s capable hands that they are not only going to be safe but are also going to get lots of lovely walks and attention. They race to the front door tails wagging every time. Thanks Andy!

We approached Andy Collins, your local dog & human trainer, at Higham Hill Dog Training Club, for a 1 to 1 consultation. I had to tell you all that it was the best thing we ever did. We were so proud of our boy & can’t wait to start working with him. Andy has opened the door, for him & us, to enjoy outside life together so much more. Now the work begins!
