About GCDT
Hello, I am Matt Coogan and I started GC Dog Training because I get a great amount of personal fulfilment helping people connect with their dogs. I have worked with various dog owners to help train and effectively manage their dog's behaviours. I'm a certified dog trainer, having completed Steven and Vicki Austin's Dog Training and Behaviour course as well as their Puppy Class Instructors Course. Having been an animal trainer at SeaWorld for 13 years (Polar Bears and Seals), I have a wealth of experience when it comes to training animals. I would love the opportunity to meet your beloved dog and help manage their behaviours effectively. Get in touch with me today and kick start your training journey!
Mat started training Patrick at 4 months old. Patrick has been very responsive to the training and set good behaviours for life. Mat’s training techniques are well researched and consciously executed to both train dog and owner. We highly recommend Mat and Patrick does too!

We learnt so much from Matt! He made it easy to understand the ‘why’ and ‘how’ of dog training so that we built confidence and ability really quickly. We went from having no idea to having a well behaved dog in no time. Thank you so much for helping us get the most out of dog ownership!
Jodi and Tom
Matt from Gold Coast Dog Training is absolutely the best. He is calm, patient, friendly, knowledgeable and above all is awesome with dogs. My dog, Lexi loves him and can’t wait to see him for her session. Lexi has made huge improvements, and Matt has helped me understand her behaviour and how to control it. I highly recommend Matt to anyone that needs help with their dog.

Thanks Matt for training us to be the best parents we can be. You made us understand how much the vibes we put out is what we get back. Can and do highly recommend you.
