WHAT WE OFFER
Training & Grooming Services
Whether your dog needs behaviour support, a confidence boost, or a fresh groom, we have got you covered. Every service is designed around your dog’s individual needs.
One on one sessions tailored to yours and your dog’s specific needs, goals and challenges. Our trainers assess the root cause and build a plan that works for your life.
Structured group classes for socialisation and obedience in a supportive, judgement free community. Great for dogs who need to learn to focus around distractions while building confidence.
Channel your dog's energy into something productive and fun. Our sport dog club, Dynamic Dogs Unleashed, is designed for pet dog owners looking to try dog sports without the pressure of competition.
Honest, low stress dog grooming on the Sunshine Coast, where your dog's wellbeing comes first. We keep you informed about how your dog handles the process and work to make every visit a positive experience.
Daycare should be more than a place to burn off energy. At Unleashed, we create structured, enriching days where dogs can play, learn, rest and build healthy social skills in a calm, supportive environment. Because we are a training facility first, we pay attention to the little things that help each dog feel comfortable and have a genuinely good day.
WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
Real Stories From Real Families
SOUND FAMILIAR?
You Love Your Dog. But Right Now, Life With Them is Hard.
You have tried YouTube videos, asked friends for advice, maybe even hired a trainer before. But nothing has stuck. The behaviour keeps coming back, and you are running out of ideas.
OUR APPROACH
How We Work With You
Most trainers will tell you what to do. We ensure you understand why your dog is doing what they are doing. When you understand the reason behind the behaviour, training actually makes sense, and the results are long lasting.
Assessment
We start with a thorough assessment to understand your dog, their triggers, and your goals. No cookie cutter plans here.
Tailored Plan
Our trainers build a training program around your dog’s specific needs, explaining the why behind every step so you actually understand what you are doing.
Training Sessions
Hands on, real world training sessions where you learn practical skills you can use immediately. We train for the environment your dog struggles in.
Ongoing Support
We do not just send you on your way. Our team provides ongoing support between sessions so you are never left guessing what to do next.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
We are based at our indoor training centre at 2/236 Quanda Road, Coolum Beach on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, so the weather never stops us from training. When your dog is ready for added distractions, we head out into the real world.
-
Private training suits dogs with behaviour issues like reactivity or anxiety, and starts with a 2 hour initial consult. Group classes run from Puppy Class at 8 weeks through Levels 1 to 3 and Life Skills. Dog Sports offers Rally, Scent Work and Barrel Race. Doggy daycare starts with an assessment day, and our grooming suits all breeds. Not sure? Call us on 0493 818 387 and we will point you in the right direction.
-
Absolutely. Reactive dogs are actually the biggest part of our business. Our trainers specialise in understanding the root cause of reactivity and building a plan to address it. If your dog has bitten before, we can still help.
-
Yes. Every service requires a current vaccination or titre certificate when you book. Puppies need at least their first vaccination before Puppy Class.
-
Yes, we groom all breeds and sizes. Our groomer Georgina specialises in creating a low stress experience, particularly for anxious dogs. We are also very popular with Oodle breeds like Cavoodles and Groodles. Georgina also loves a good deshed on those thick double coated dogs!
