Mid Coast Dog Training

Very highly recommended, Hannah is very knowledgeable and was honest and balanced in her evaluation of Roxie, (a one year old under socialized Australian Shepard) and the manner in which she was being handled. After a two week board and train Roxie has made great progress in remaining attentive and not being lead astray by the many distractions that present themselves on a daily basis. This, along with improvements in recall and leash manners has allowed her to continue training at home with much less drama. I believe she enjoyed her time at Mid Coast Dog Training and she missed her new friends Hannah and Bonnie when she left.

Hannah was excellent in her communication with updates on our dogs training. She was quick to respond to all requests and calls. I would highly recommend working with Hannah to anyone that is having dog issues. She gave not only my dog but also me the confidence to know that I was dealing with all situation correctly. We even did a couple of follow up training sessions (at no extra cost) to reinforce what what we had learned.

Hannah is a trainer I would recommend without reservation. I am very pleased with her approach and the progress I am making with my excitable Golden. Upon completing a six week group class, I know I have found the trainer I had hoped to find. I am now updating this review as my dog has recently returned from a two week board and train program. Our relationship has been transformed. Before Hannah (BH), I would get anxious as we would approach a situation that would illicit an excitable reaction in my dog. His excitement (particularly around other animals) would render him deaf to any command. I tried several techniques learned from other trainers and sadly always revert to using the Gentle Leader to gain control. After Hannah (AH...ah!) I am now confident as we go about town, he now walks calmly at my side (on leash and off) and remains calm when otherwise he would become "manic". When we walk off leash, his recall is 100% reliable. We are still a work in progress but we are well on our way to having the dog/human relationship I desire.
