About COAST DOGS Training By Dawn Bennett
Originally from the UK, I now reside in Sarasota, Florida. I have gained extensive experience working with dogs since 1997 and have been professionally training since 2007, teaching group and private lessons. I have experience working with behavioral issues such as reactivity; and teaching dogs and puppies life skills, manners and obedience. My training approach is "least intrusive, minimally aversive" (LIMA), the aim of which is to train your dog with minimal adverse side effects. My training plan is adjusted for each and every dog.

Dawn showed me how to work with an ecollar with my 2 year old prey driven lab. I was very nervous to use the collar but Dawn educated me and made it obvious to me what I needed to do. She is very good at training the owners as well as the dog. Highly recommend her. This is my 5th lab, and I’ve had many instructors over the years. Dawn is excellent.
Dawn was instrumental in the training of our dog. She has a wonderful approach and her professionalism was bar none. We would absolutely recommend Dawn for training! ☆☆☆☆☆ service!

Where do I even start? Dawn has been the biggest blessing to our family. We lost our sweet dog several months ago and our other dog, Ruby, was heart broken. We decided to add another member to our family, Buck the Bulldog, to give Ruby some company, but it ended up bringing total chaos into our house! With the help of Dawn- Ruby has gained a ton of confidence through training and Buck the Bulldog has learned some important basic training to help reduce our chaos. Dawn did an amazing job teaching our entire family how to continue training our pups! We cannot thank Dawn enough for her dedication to our fur-babies! HIGHLY recommend her!
