COAST DOGS Training By Dawn Bennett

I wish I could give 10 stars! Dawn is amazing! We interviewed 3 trainers and hired 2 of them (with lessons) that didn't work out before connecting with Dawn. I can't even express how glad I am that we found Dawn! Her training style and personality fit perfectly with ours. Dawn has a special gift and connection with dogs, our Bentley (8 month old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel) absolutely loved her. Everything about her training made sense, from start to finish, as she explained (and re-explained, if necessary). She bonded with our Bentley, he came to respect what she was teaching and he was willing to please and obey when she was with him. Dawn gave us homework each week, with handouts as reminders, and did a recap at the beginning of the following week. After training hours, she even sent us a video of her demonstrating the process with her own dog once when we couldn't quite get a certain technique. We didn't always do our homework 100%, but Dawn was able to move forward and teach Bentley the next lessons. We have a lot to learn still and it is a daily learning process for both dog and owner, but are thrilled that we met Dawn. I am already considering bringing her back for a recap and tweaking in a few months. I highly recommend Dawn and Coast Dogs, no reservations whatsoever. You will not be disappointed and you will get results.

Dawn is an extraordinarily dedicated and caring trainer who makes learning fun for both dogs and their owners. Our Samoyed pup Georgie and I looked forward to every training class! I left each session with a happy, tired-out pup, along with new insights into dog motivation and behavior. Over and over again, Dawn has gone above and beyond for our family, providing helpful suggestions and reference material about particularly challenging behavior, and following up to see if she could help further.
