Meet the team behind
Unleashed Canine Academy
Eric Mazzei
With over 8 years of experience working with dogs of all breeds, temperaments and behavioural challenges, Eric founded Unleashed Canine Academy with a clear mission: to bring modern, science-based training to the Gold Coast.
Our approach blends the latest research in animal behaviour and neurobiology with hands-on practical expertise. We believe every dog can thrive when given the right communication system and environment.
At Unleashed, we don’t just train dogs — we empower families. Every program is tailored to your unique situation, because no two dogs (or families) are the same.
What we believe in
Science Over Trends
We use evidence-based methods grounded in modern behavioural science — not internet fads or outdated dominance theory.
The Whole Family
Training isn’t just for your dog. We teach everyone in your household how to communicate effectively and consistently.
Patience & Respect
Every dog learns at their own pace. We create a safe, supportive environment where progress happens naturally.
Lifelong Impact
Our goal isn’t quick fixes. We build foundational skills and communication systems that last a lifetime.
