Hi I'm Courtney, the owner and head trainer behind Project Canine

I've worked in the dog industry for over eight years, with hands-on experience across kennels, dog daycare, and professional training. My path into training began with my own Husky, Ghost, and led me to work alongside and be mentored by Alex Edwards from Refine Your Canine, where I developed my skills as a professional trainer. 

​

I'm a nationally accredited trainer, holding a Certificate in Dog Behaviour and Training through NDTF. This formal education, combined with years of practical experience, allows me to deliver clear, structured, results-focused training for everyday dogs and their owners.

​

Outside of client work, I spend most of my time with my own dogs, Ghost and River - hiking, exploring beaches and getting out into the places that make life with dogs more enjoyable. I also train and compete with River in dog sports. We've achieved our SR1 title in GRC and currently working towards our SR2, having already secured the first leg. We also train in Agility and Scent Detection, with plans to compete in both.

​

Project Canine exists to help owners build dogs they can confidently live with and take anywhere - whether that's on everyday walks, out in public, or on their next adventure.
