“Hannah is a dog whisperer! We decided on professional training for our 6-month Bernese Mountain Dog puppy as we have two older dogs in our home and felt that we needed help in providing our puppy with a solid foundation which seemed near impossible with our other two crazy furries. We did have apprehensions: we wanted Mavis trained but we did not want to break her spirit and we were concerned that we would get the outcome we desired. Could WE do it? Then we met Hannah. She is beyond amazing and the ultimate professional. She was patient when explaining her approach and throughout the process. She broke down the lessons into manageable pieces and was inclusive with each member of family building confidence in our 13-year old daughter. Our goals were to have a well behaved dog that could go everywhere with us and to have a dog that our daughter (and us) could control and enjoy walking. Hannah over delivered! Mavis is 100% off leash trained at 10 months of age. She listens to each family member with the same level of intensity. Our daughter walks her everywhere without our assistance. Mavis goes to restaurants, parks and crowded events. She is not distracted by other dogs or humans yet remains her sweet natured, happy, silly self. We receive compliments everywhere we go on how well behaved she is. Folks have even asked if we are dog trainers! We are certainly not but Hannah’s dog whispering abilities and teaching skills have certainly made us, and Miss Mavis, look like rockstars of the well-behaved dog world. Would hire Hannah again I’m a heartbeat for our next pup - highly recommend!”

"If you’re looking for a dog trainer stop now. Hannah provides excellent results you’d expect from a famous facility but at a more competitive price. She worked for several years as a professional trainer at a renown dog training facility, and now she works for herself and passes the overhead savings onto her clients. Another thing that separates her is usually when you do board training, the company will take many dogs at the same time and while the other dogs are being trained yours is in a kennel. Hannah only takes one dog at a time so 100% of the attention is on them. When your dog isn’t actively training she while work on socializing them and some manners around the house. We enrolled our dog Pappy Van Winkle in her boarded On Leash training when he was around 5-6 months old. When we picked him up there was an immediate change, and it was more than expected. Not only did he receive all the walking commands & modes Hannah advertised (heel, free walk, down in motion, auto-sit when stopping, etc.) but he also stopped attacking his food the moment we poured it and stopped bursting out of his kennel when we opened it. He just sat there patiently waiting for permission. We were so pleased we couldn’t wait to start off leash training. Now after off leash training wherever we go I literally can’t get to our seat or table without people stopping me to ask questions about his training, it’s that impressive. I never try and pass him off as a service animal, but plenty of times I believe we were granted certain privileges of having Pappy in a place there were no other dogs just because people assumed a dog trained this well must be a service animal. Pappy has grown to love her so much too. We feel bad going too long without a refresher lesson (not that we really need it because Pappy is killing it) but because every time Pappy sees her we can tell she is one of his all time favorite humans."

“When I got my chocolate lab, Oakley, I was young and needing a companion. Being someone who grew up with only small dog breeds, I was slightly in over my head. The puppy stages were fairly easy, but as Oakley grew, his playfulness became strong and demanding. I reached out to Hannah knowing she trained dogs. We set up a few training sessions for Oakley. There was one weekend that I traveled for work and Oakley went to Hannah's house. When I picked him up, it was like I was seeing a completely different dog. He was obedient and calm. She spent time with me, teaching me commands and techniques to help me continue Oakley's training at home. It's been 2/2.5 years and Oakley still listens to these commands. He walks by my side, he listens to me, he is not aggressive anymore. With the techniques Hannah taught me, Oakley and I are more in tune with each other and he is an amazing dog to have in my life. I would definitely recommend any dog owner to Hannah!”
