Dog Training Methodology

  • Positive Reinforcement Only

Hanna provides individualized training programs that start with foundational obedience and progress to advanced service dog tasks or behavior correction.

Boarding with training is available, allowing dogs to continue learning while staying with a trainer rather than in a kennel. Programs are ongoing and intensive, tailored to each dog’s specific goals and challenges.

Testimonials

My dog and I have been working with Hanna for a little over a month now. I love how she breaks down tasks and lessons into small manageable portions. She is super personable and has great communication skills for humans and dogs. I met 3 other trainers for one-on-one training and she has been by far the best!
– Client

I have been working with Hanna, training my service dog for the last year. She is incredibly astute and flexible. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. She works from basic obedience to behavior correction to service and offers boarding WITH a trainer, not just chilling in a kennel until you get back like most boarding services.
– Client

Hanna and her methods work with any dog! She is amazing I will never go to another petsmart class or anything else again!
