Customer Reviews

Hana has been a lifesaver when it came to training my Austrailian Shepard. Truthfully I did not do my homework regarding this breed and at one time contemplated rehoming my pup feeling like I was not the right fit for him. I tried training him on my own, researching YouTube videos, however once I started training classes with Hana I started to feel encouraged regarding raising and training my pup. Her lessons were so fun and things started to look up. Her tips and tricks made all the difference for my pup who is now almost 2 years old and to this day still looks for Hana when entering the store. Best decision ever to take classes with Hana! Thank you!

I am thrilled to share my experience with Hana, our incredible trainer! Since working with Hana, my dog, Dolly, has transformed from a lively puppy into a calm and well-behaved companion. We started with basic puppy training and then progressed to advanced courses, and then brain games which have truly fulfilled Dolly intellectually. Hana's patience and understanding of canine behavior are remarkable. She has an innate ability to read dog's cues, even when the owners might miss them. Her training approach not only helped Dolly become more compliant but also strengthened the bond between us. I wholeheartedly recommend Hana to anyone looking for a dedicated and knowledgeable dog trainer. She has made a significant difference in our lives, and I cannot thank her enough for all that she's done for Dolly and myself! Thank you Hana!

Hana is incredibly professional and courteous. Our dog's behavior has markedly changed for the better since we began classes. She taught us how to implement positive reinforcement, which has strengthened the dog-owner relationship. She was able to customize individual training plans on the spot when told of new undesirable behavior, leading to measurable improvement in obedience. The mental stimulation of learning new tricks keeps him from getting bored (destructive) while increasing his self-confidence! I could not make a higher recommendation. I'm so pleased with the results from this investment in our pup!
