Hi, I’m Ave!

Dog trainer, adventure-seeker, and passionate dog nerd behind Coastal Tails and Scent Adventure Training.

With over a decade of experience in dog training, I’ve worked with many Pet and Rescue dogs, helping dogs and their humans build stronger bonds through fun, practical, and rewarding training.

I’m a certified Scent Detection, Mantrailing and Tracking instructor, and scent work is where I’ve seen dogs truly come alive, especially those who are anxious, reactive, over excited or just need a job to do.

Scent Adventure Training was born from my love of the outdoors and the magic that happens when we give dogs space to follow their nose. It’s not just training, it’s a lifestyle of connection, curiosity, and exploration.

Whether you’re just starting out or ready for your next challenge, I’m here to help guide the way.
