Our Training Programs

At West Coast Dog Training we proudly offer ethical, science-based training methods and judgement-free support for you and your dog.

Provided in the comfort of your home, our personalized training plans are designed to fit everyone’s needs, levels and lifestyles — resulting in stress free training in a safe, relaxed environment. 

Behavioural Modification

At West Coast Dog Training we focus on the root of the problem that you are facing and deal with it from there, providing long term results.

Some of the areas we can help with behavioural modification for your dog are:

  • Fear

  • Aggression

  • Leash reactivity

  • Resource guarding

Once we have the root of the problem established, from there we work on changing the way that your dog feels in these difficult moments, instead of suppressing the symptoms of fear or frustration. Creating a strong bond and changed behaviour.

Throughout the training process we give you the ability to discern what your dog is saying to you and how to communicate with them on their level. Understanding how they learn, think and feel. So you will have the tools and the knowledge to navigate through different scenarios for years to come.

Basic Obedience & Puppy Training

In order for you and your puppy to both be set up for successful happy life together you need to have a foundation of trust and understanding.

At West Coast Dog Training we help build that foundation by giving you a core set of tools that focus on:

  • Teaching you how to understand what your dog is saying

  • Understanding body language

  • Proper socialization.

With that knowledge and understanding we can help you create the life that you always dreamt of with your dog

A few Kind Words

Kelsey was an incredible support to us.

When we adopted a rescue dog I quickly realized I had no idea what I was doing in regards to training and supporting the transition — not only for our family but also our dog.

When I reached out to Kelsey she was kind, encouraging and helpful. She was happy to come and observe us and effectively discerned what we needed to focus on and what we didn't. She helped my confidence and our families consistency with our dog. I honestly do not know what we would have done without her.

We have had our pup for almost as year now and she is settled, loved and trusting/trusted. We have the tools to train her and have build a wonderful relationship with her because of what Kelsey taught us. I cannot thank her enough.

I believe consult calls are the best way for us to get to know each other and make sure we’re going to be a good fit. Complimentary consult calls are offered (and required!) for all new clients.
