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.

Services

Initial Consultation

Initial Consultation - 90 Minutes for $220

Our Initial Consultation is a comprehensive 90-minute session designed to set you and your dog up for success. For $220, we dive deep into a thorough behavior analysis, followed by one-on-one teaching for dog owners on key concepts like reinforcers, markers, and the science behind dog training. We’ll wrap up the session with hands-on training to address your dog’s specific needs and begin working towards positive change. This session provides you with the knowledge and tools to confidently move forward with your dog’s training journey.

PRIVATE SESSIONS

Follow up Consultations

Follow-Up Sessions - 45 Minutes for $140

Our Follow-Up Sessions are designed to build on the progress made in your initial consultation. In these 45-minute sessions, we’ll quickly review what was covered in session 1, discuss your dog’s training successes and challenges, and continue working to address any behavior concerns. These sessions provide ongoing support and tailored guidance to help you achieve lasting results and strengthen your dog’s behavior over time.
