Proven Strategies to Hit Your Goals

Why We’re Different

Raising a well-behaved, happy dog starts with the right training. At Chapter One Dog Training, we don’t just teach your dog —we give you both the tools to understand each other and create a strong, lifelong bond.

Here’s what sets us apart:

  • Reward-Based Techniques: Instead of focusing on what your dog shouldn’t do, we use positive reinforcement—treats, toys, and games—to teach and encourage the behaviours you want to see!
  • A Focus on Real-Life Skills: From sitting politely to staying calm in busy environments, we prepare your dog for everyday life.
  • Small Class Sizes: Limited spots ensure you and your pup get the individual attention they need.
  • We Genuinely Care: You’ll have lifetime access to our Facebook group filled with resources and support. Plus, you can always reach out to me directly—whether it’s for advice, direction, or a referral to the right expert.

Let us help you raise a confident, well-mannered companion you’ll love taking anywhere.

Your Expert Dog Trainer

Meet Hannah

Training dogs has been my passion for over 10 years, ever since my family brought home Cody, a Shetland Sheepdog. Watching Cody grow into a well-mannered and happy dog showed me how powerful training can be—not just for dogs but for the families who love them.

Since then, I’ve trained dogs of all breeds and sizes, including my own:

  • Cody: The Shetland Sheepdog—my first training partner and the inspiration behind my journey.
  • Harper: The Border Collie—a pro at tricks and dog sports.
  • Saffy: The Australian Shepherd—who taught me that calmness and fulfilling a dog’s needs are the keys to a well-behaved companion.

In addition to years of hands-on experience, I stay up to date by learning from industry leaders. Most recently, Saffy and I completed the Karen Pryor Academy Clicker Training Professional course—passing with flying colours!

My goal is to be by your side every step of the way, helping you and your dog build a partnership rooted in trust, understanding, and lasting connection.

Why “Chapter One?”

The name Chapter One represents the beginning of your dog’s story—a fresh start to build a lifetime of good training and habits. 

Starting training early makes a world of difference. By focusing on positive foundations now, we can prevent problems before they arise, saving you the frustration of trying to fix them later and creating a happy, well-rounded dog for life.

What Families Like Yours Are Saying

I can't recommend The Chapter One Dog Training enough! Hannah is incredibly patient and skilled, especially when it comes to working with puppies. My dog Sadie has learned so much, and I feel confident in the training techniques Hannah provides. If you're looking for a dedicated, professional trainer who gets results, this is the place to go!

Madeline & Sadie

We can’t recommend Hannah enough for your puppy training! As first time puppy owners, Hannah was an excellent educator and very patient with our boy. Thank you again for everything you have done. Arthur is going to be a great calm pup in the future.

Danni & Arthur

I’m so grateful me and Digby got to meet Hannah. Hannah has set us up for long-term success. We have avoided so many behaviour pitfalls that are easy to fall into with puppies. Digby is easy to settle, confident and does not bark, all because of the guidance Hannah has given us. I really appreciate the opportunity to not only attend in person puppy school but to have weekly Zoom phone calls to get advice and trouble shoot behaviour before in becomes ingrained.

Christine & Digby

The biggest stand out for me is the continuous support and guidance that Hannah provides. There have been so many occasions I have requested advice from Hannah, and what I recieve is always so prompt and detailed.

Nicole, Troy & Layla

My dog Nancy and I love our Hoopers classes with Chapter One Dog Training. Hannah is a fantastic teacher - she's patient, encouraging, and always has such helpful guidance and advice. Her classes are easy to follow and supportive and she provides help and feedback between lessons whenever you need.
