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!
