Our immensely popular and long-running youth programme - it’s not often we advertise this one as it generally fills via word of mouth. Some changes in format have meant we now have a handful of spaces opened up, especially for our 11-16 year olds Next Gen group.
We support kids to embrace their kind, compassionate, loving selves while feeling confident and capable handling and training animals of all different species.

No pets needed - we supply the animals! This is a great chance for animal loving kids to get hands-on with all our animals, learning how to handle them safely, train them and care for them. In these workshops kids work with Positively Together’s friendly trained animals, and then take their learning home to their own pets. You'll be interacting with our friendly, trained horses, sheep, dogs, cows, bunnies, chickens and cockatiels! Discover how we teach the animals to do amazing tricks, and learn the building blocks to be able to train animals yourself using positive reinforcement. In addition, practical animal training skills transfer directly to life skills as kids practice empathy, building positive relationships, holding and respecting boundaries, and celebrating mistakes as part of learning.
