Meet  the Trainer

My name is Hannah Haley, and I specialize in transforming the bond between you and your dog through effective and compassionate training. I offer personalized private sessions, in-home stay and train programs, and comprehensive online courses (coming soon!). My approach emphasizes relationship building and play, ensuring that training is both engaging and fun for you and your dog. By tailoring each session to your dog’s unique needs, I aim to create a positive and enjoyable training experience.

Does Your Dog:

 

• Jump on you or guests?

• Ignore basic commands?

• Fail to come when called?

• Chew on furniture or other items?

By working closely with both you and your dog, I aim to foster a strong bond built on trust, respect, and mutual understanding all while making training fun for you both!

With over 16 years of experience in the animal industry, I bring a wealth of expertise to my role as your dog trainer. My journey began as an Animal Welfare Officer, where I developed a keen understanding of dog body language and animal handling, igniting my passion for dog training. Since 2011, I’ve refined my skills as a Veterinary Technician, starting out at LSU School of Veterinary Medicine, then moving to private practice. You can trust that your dog will receive exceptional care under my watch! Throughout my career, I have fostered, trained, and rehabilitated numerous dogs, successfully finding them loving forever homes. I've also had the privilege of task-training service and facility dogs for a respected non-profit organization that have been placed with their handlers all over the United States!
