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 trained us so we could manage an exuberant, energetic one-year-old hound rescue. We were able to go from a barely manageable, excitable dog to a fully integrated member of our family. Specific strategies and feedback outlined specifically for us after every training session were key to reinforcing our training habits and ensuring we stayed on track. We highly recommend you contact Dawn early in your relationship with your dog to make sure you get off on the right foot. It makes a big difference.
Dawn is the greatest!...I had a 3 mo old puppy when we started training .... Puppy is now 4 mo and lives to learn.. I highly recommend using coast dogs for a good foundation for a well behaved dog and a close relationship with you as alpha.
I am so thrilled with having found Dawn!! My King Charles dogs love her & her training has been incredibly effective and in a very reasonable time frame. Dawn is highly professional and very pleasant to work with. I highly recommend her.

Ms Bennett was our initial choice because of a strong client recommendation and information we gleaned from her website. What we experienced was beyond expectation. Dawn demonstrated specific training methods, provided practical info pages that contained clear, concise tips. Best of all, she encouraged us and inspired our confidence that we could work with our large, strong puppy in a way that would benefit all now and in the future. Difficult to imagine a more effective trainer. Thank you, Dawn!
