Hannah Quackenbush

Hi there! My name is Hannah. I have been around animals my whole life. Growing up, my parents bred Rottweilers and my uncle bred Australian Shepherds. As I got older I joined 4-H, working with animals every summer. Which increased my handling skills tremendously. I then began volunteering at the humane society at the age of 14, and that is where my true passion for helping dogs developed. I got my first dog, Dax, an Australian Shepherd, in 2017. As family and friends noticed how well mannered Dax was, they asked me to train their dogs. I then created my own training program in 2018, working with all different breeds, ages, and behavioral issues. I was introduced to dog sports in 2020 and quickly fell in love. I got my first Belgian Malinios, Rebel, in 2021. Since the day I brought her home; we have trained heavily on obedience, participated in bite work sports and have plans to start detection training soon. Outside of dog training; I enjoy camping, hiking, traveling and spending time with family and friends. I graduated the Koru K9 Master Program in 2023, even further expanding my knowledge and experience. I love teaching clients about different training tools and how to effectively use them. However, the most fulfilling part of dog training for me is seeing the relationship dynamic between a dog and their owner change, as they build confidence, structure, and a solid communication system. Most importantly, keeping the whole process as fun as possible and safe for everyone involved!
