meet the project canine crew

Hi I'm Courtney, the owner and trainer behind Project Canine
I've worked in the dog industry for over 7 years, gaining hands-on experience in kennels, doggy daycare and training. It was through training my own Husky, Ghost that led me to work alongside and be mentored by Alex Edwards from Refine Your Canine, where I honed my skills and worked as a professional dog trainer.
​​
I am 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 help dog owners build strong, positive relationships with their canine companions.
​
At home I am lucky to share my life with two incredible dogs - Ghost, a Husky and River an Australian Shepherd. When I'm not training we spend our time hiking, exploring the beautiful beaches of the Surf Coast and discovering new adventures together. I also compete in dog sports with River and together we have achieved our SR1 title in GRC and are currently working towards our SR2, having already secured the first leg. We are also training in Agility with plans to enter our first competition this year, and we enjoy the challenge and focus of scent detection work.
​
My mission with Project Canine is to inspire dog owners to embrace adventure with their dogs while building trust, communication and lasting bonds. Whether you're looking to work on training, find new ways to challenge your dog, or simply enjoy life together, I'm here to help​​
