Meet Dimitri – Your Local Gold Coast Dog Trainer
Dimitri specialises in helping dog owners move beyond surface-level obedience and into genuine behavioural change. He understands that behaviour is shaped by a dog’s state of mind, emotional balance, environment, and — most importantly — their relationship with you.
Rather than relying on constant treats, commands, or corrections, Dimitri coaches you to develop:
Clear communication
Calm leadership
Trust and cooperation
This creates a dog that chooses to listen, looks to you for guidance, and feels safe and understood in everyday situations.
Dimitri’s private, in-home dog training consistently delivers results where other methods have failed — using practical, common-sense strategies you can implement immediately.
All dogs. All ages. All breeds. All behaviour issues.

Your Specialist Dog Trainer In Gold Coast
Dimitri Hondroudakis
Hi, I’m Dimitri and I am stoked to represent SitDropStay in the Gold Coast.
How I ended up here is a little different from the rest of the SitDropStay team. I had always felt an affinity for dogs, however, when I was growing up, our family dogs lived outside. Whenever my parents couldn’t find me and whenever possible, I was usually outside with the dogs. But, I certainly never pictured myself working with dogs.
I was in my early 30s when Heidi, who belonged to my partner at the time, entered my life. Heidi, a pit/border collie mix, was not only sweet and sassy, she was silly and wise. She changed me irrevocably. Not only did she convince me that dogs belong inside with the family, but Heidi also helped me understand dogs on a level I never knew existed. She showed me that dogs can teach us a lot about ourselves. Heidi taught me about unconditional love and reminded me constantly about the joy of living in the moment.
I am fascinated by the human/canine connection and it has been my passion to help those around me experience what I have. I have spent many years helping friends with their dogs before commencing my training with Sit Drop Stay. My passion is helping my clients form a deeper connection with their K9 companion.
