About Us - Eclipse Dog Training Sunshine Coast

Hi, I'm Jessica! I am a qualified dog trainer and scientist. 

I have studied and trained with a wide range of organisations, universities, and professionals since 2018. My university qualifications include a Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Environmental Science & Biology, and a Diploma of Social Studies (Psychology & Counselling). My dog training studies culminated in 2023 when I was accepted into Ivan Balabanov's Training Without Conflict Certification course.

I specialise in helping you get started on the right foot with your puppy, coaching you through improving your dog's behaviour, and helping anxious and excited dogs find their purpose in life. My training approach focuses on building a healthier relationship between you and your dog through play. I have also studied human psychology & counselling and enjoy working with neurodivergent people. 

In other words, I guide you and your dog with empathy and common sense, based on what you both need as unique individuals. My training philosophy and techniques are simple and straightforward, so you can better understand your dog and change their behaviour during our very first lesson. I understand what it's like to struggle, and eventually succeed, with your dog. I rehabilitated my dog's aggression issues after years of failed efforts. Having a dog with chronic pain has also equipped me with the skills to identify potential issues like back pain, which is a common ailment in older dogs with behavioural issues.

In additon to dogs, I've also worked with sea lions, penguins, dolphins.

It's important that you get the results you want from your dog training experience. Read my client testimonials and Google reviews at the bottom of this page for more information.

Sharing life with a dog can be a great joy. I look forward to helping you and your dog thrive together!
