Coastal Canine Training Services

Murdock started nosework training with Karen when he first came home to me at about two months old. We stuck with Karen over the past 5 years and have found great success in the sport. I cannot recommend her enough for ANY training you need- she is extremely knowledgable and passionate about nosework and behavioural work with dogs and is constantly continuing and updating her education to make sure she- and anyone employeed by her- is at the top of industry standards. In an unregulated industry it is a huge relief to see people like Karen and the Coastal Canine team using science backed, ethical training that is positive and fun for people and their dogs- and best of all gets amazing result. Be it looking for success in nosework, getting your puppy off to the right start, or seeking help managing behavioural issues with your dog you won't regret working with Coastal.

Karen has supported us over the last year on our training journey with our pup, Kobe. We've taken several of her group classes (Mind your Manners and Nosework) and when our pup developed some reactivity issues we turned to Karen for help. She held our hands through the entire training process, and gave us the foundational tools to help support him. She is one of Kobe's most favourite people and she has worked so hard to help us help him find some ease, in what for him can be a scary world! We look forward to continuing to work with Karen.

Just finished our level 1 Nosework with Karen and the class was so much fun! Karen is an amazing instructor that really takes the time to explain to you why your dog does what he does. My little puppy started going through her first fear period during our set with Karen and she was very accommodating and helped us learn to work through it.
