Growing up on a farm in the Herefordshire countryside, Hannah was surrounded by all creatures great and small. Showing a particular affinity for dogs, often told she could 'speak dog' it was no surprise when her first job was at a dog-boarding kennel. Here Hannah practised dog-language, taught basic training, and spent any spare moments with nervous dogs helping them feel safe and loved.
Having gained a degree in Psychology from the University of Sussex, followed by a Post Graduate Diploma in Clinical Animal Behaviour with The Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies. Hannah uses her knowledge of learning theory to design training and behaviour modification programmes to transform dogs from naughty or nervous to confident and calm.
Hannah is a member of the Pet Professional Guild registered as a Canine Training Professional. She is also a provisional member of the Association of Pet Behaviour Counsellors (APBC), and candidate member of the Fellowship of Animal Behaviour Clinicians (FABC).
