Helping you build an unbreakable bond with your dog.
Proudly offering ethical, science-based dog training in the South Surrey, White Rock and Langley areas.
What we do
At West Coast Dog training we provide fear and force-free ethical training methods, with trust, relationship building and learning how to communicate with your dogs as the foundation for behavioural modification, obedience and puppy training.
Our Services
Taking place in the comfort of your own home, our personalized training plans use proven methods that focus on the root of problem behaviours to create lasting change and help you better understand your dog so you can live a peaceful life together.
Behavioural Modification
Behaviour modification starts by getting to the core of problem behaviours and addressing the way your dog the feels in difficult moments. From there, and with the help of empowering tools and knowledge, real change can be made so the two of you will be able to navigate various scenarios for years to come.
Basic Obedience & Puppy Training
In order for you and your dog to live a 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 empowering tools and teach you how to understand what your dog is saying and how to communicate with them on their level.

Kelsey did an amazing job assisting us with our young dog that suffers from extreme separation anxiety.
Seeing the change in his personality after only a few sessions was something that we didn’t expect to happen so quickly. Her caring and relaxed approach to the training was a welcome change from some of our previous experiences with other dog trainers. We would highly recommend Kelsey and look forward to booking further sessions with her this year.

Best money ever spent to have Kelsey walk me through training up my new girl “Annie” from Iran to be socialized with our entire family and other dog “Harley”

Kelsey at West Coast Dog Training is a skilled and knowledgeable trainer that quickly helped my dog with his leash aggression. She combined personalized educational resources and hands on sessions that were customized for my pup. She is a pleasure to work with!

Kelsey was great and helped teach my 1.5 year old lab how to be better on the leash :)
