At The Surf Coast Dog Trainer, I offer a range of services to help you build a strong, positive relationship with your dog. Whether you’re looking to address specific behavior issues, teach basic obedience, or provide your puppy with a solid foundation, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

You can choose from a one-off initial consultation, where we’ll assess your dog’s needs and create a personalised training plan, or take advantage of discounted bulk sessions for ongoing support and progress. I also offer group classes for those who prefer a social learning environment and want to connect with other dog owners.

All training is based on positive reinforcement and science-backed techniques, ensuring long-lasting results and a happy, well-adjusted dog. Whether it's overcoming behavioral challenges or just ensuring your dog thrives, I have the experience and expertise to help.
