Do you want to know you’re getting it right?
Whether you’ve got a new puppy, a boisterous teenager, a nervous rescue or a challenging older dog. I can help you understand your dogs behaviour. Why do they do what they do? What does it mean? What can you do to help? We will work together to understand your dog better and to help you reach a harmonious relationship.
The best way to get in touch is to book a free discovery call here. We can talk through your challenges and goals, and make a bespoke plan.
Maybe you started some training already. You weren’t sure it was working. You tried something else. It worked a bit. Now you’re ready to try something else.
I know how hard it is to live with a dog whose behaviour is challenging. It can be upsetting, embarrassing, emotionally draining.
I can help get you and your dog working together again. Bespoke and tailored to your needs, I will be with you step-by-step while we put your training plan in place.
Committed to using ethical, science-backed, reward-based methods. You can be assured we will work with your dog, their feelings, their needs, and their capabilities.
I offer home visits in-person throughout London. For those further afield, or who just prefer online, zoom consultations are also available.
Still not sure if it's for you? Well it is always easier to deal with problem behaviours before they become habit. So if you spot something you're not sure about, get in touch for a no obligation chat. You don't have to wait until it gets out of hand.

I have absolute confidence in Hannah. Before finding her, I had had other bits of training along the way but Hannah has surpassed them all. I sought her help with my 1-year-old whippet puppy, Wolfie, as a novice dog owner, without major issues but feeling my way and rather lacking in confidence. I can honestly say that Hannah's attention to detail, careful thoughtfulness about the issues at hand and sensitivity has transformed my relationship with my puppy... I feel I have "grown into" being a dog owner and get so much more pleasure from it, and that Wolfie has grown into such an attentive and responsive dog... we've both blossomed and I feel indebted! Thank you, Hannah!

I highly recommend working with Hannah if you need help training your dog. Hannah helped with my then staffy puppy, Junie. I had a good feeling from the get-go as Hannah was extremely responsive and professional from the start.
We worked on a few different areas like recall, walking nicely on lead, and generally being calm, as Junie is a very high-energy dog. Hannah's training methods were super positive and with consistency on my part, saw great results.
Hannah was also the one to spot Junie was going through a false pregnancy (obvs knows what she's doing!) and was a huge support for me while going through the challenges of raising a - sometimes very demanding - puppy. If you need help, take my word and contact Hannah.

I came to Hannah at my wit's end, with an adolescent dog who was barking and lunging at strangers, chasing joggers and snapping at houseguests. I was being shouted at in the park on a daily basis. I spent every walk on tenterhooks and houseguests were out of the question. Life with a reactive dog can feel like one of the loneliest things in the world. I firmly believe that Hannah rescued me.
From the first phone call, it felt like my dog and I were in safe hands. Hannah took such a load off of my shoulders. It felt like my dog's reactivity was something we could get through together. I'd been given so much bad advice – buying an ECollar, becoming the "alpha wolf", CBD - Hannah just cut through it all, as we made a thorough, realistic, plan with no silver bullets, and a structured timeline. Unlike other behaviourists I'd seen, Hannah was just a phone call or email away when we had a question or a flare-up in between sessions. She liaised with our vet consistently to get to the bottom of my dog's issues, and sent detailed reports after each session, in case I'd forgotten anything.
The change in my dog is remarkable. With consistent training - and a bag full of chicken - I have myself a calmer, happier animal, whose reactivity has reduced to a shadow of its former self. And I know that, should I need her, Hannah is there. I am so grateful.

Kasper is very relaxed in the garden (apart from the first 5 minutes, when he is running like a crazy doggie to check on any cats/dogs/squirrels). Once he is happy that no other animals are in the garden, he is calm & very friendly also with our neighbours. I have never seen him behaving that well before. He could not sit in the garden at the beginning of our training, now he can & he even slept there a couple of times. Last week our neighbour covered him with a blanket and he had a nap for about an hour. I am so pleased with his behaviour, it seems that this is a different dog and not our Kasper.

Hey Hannah I just wanted to say a massive thank you for yesterday. We have followed your instructions and this was Percy after his first 5 min training session. He has never walked like this! Thank you for whatever magic you weaved!!

We went to Hannah as we wanted to improve our 6 month old rescue puppy Badger's recall and had started to hit a bit of a wall. Meeting Hannah was great - she immediately put us at ease and we spent the session learning new games and tricks to help with Badger's recall and obedience whilst distracted. She followed by sending us helpful materials to help us to continue his training. 2 months on and Badger's recall is 95% perfect - we even get plenty of comments in the park from others saying how good he is! I would definitely recommend Hannah to anyone who needs a helping hand with their dog!

We're so grateful to The Confident Dog for a million reasons and truly could not recommend more for both walks and training. Hannah is the most spectacular human and approaches each dog she meets with so much love and a unique understanding of their needs. Our nervous rescue dog Bluebell loves her so much - something I wasn't sure we would see - and despite being a crazy dog mum I always feel 100% when she is with Hannah.
Recently we worked with The Confident Dog on some training to see if we could help Blue with some behavioural issues and it was honestly the best decision and the most fun and accomplished training experience we've had. We witnessed Hannah's dog whispering skills first hand but also her ability to give us the tools we need to help Blue in a positive and effective way. She explained everything so well and was so patient with all our questions (and mistakes). She also followed up with lots of notes and training guides. It's now been a week of practicing the skills we learnt and we have already seen a massive difference. Blue has been through a lot and to see so much progress in such a small amount of time is both amazing and overwhelming and we can't thank Hannah enough. I truly only wish we found The Confident Dog sooner. From the bottom of my heart, if I you want a happy, we'll adjusted and confident pup then Hannah is your person!
