Meet your trainer

---

Hi, I’m Hanna, owner of Big Dogs, Big Paws, Big Smiles. Using proven psychology and behavioral science, I help your large dog become more obedient, confident and happy. 

Dog Training started with me when I began to work with horses, horse training and dog training are incredibly similar to one another. My goal was to own my own pediatric clinic for children with autism on a therapeutic farm. I was a pediatric therapist for three years and in a short amount of time I saw how similar animal training is to Applied Behavioral Analysis for children with ASD as I began to work on the farm more for my work in animal therapy, I began realizing the similarities between how we conduct children's ABA therapy and dog training. I thought to myself if I can take the science of applied behavioral analysis and apply it to dog training, it will make the perfect reliable consistent dog. I grew up watching the Westminster kennel, dog show and around show dog breeds, including hunting dogs and prized gun dogs. I train dogs using psychology and science for real world results, I teach hands on methods with owner education as a focus. I train for reliable consistent obedient training every time.
