My name is Hannah! I’m 22 years old and love all animals, especially dogs (and horses). I have 4 dogs (Turbo, Mable, Minnie and Myrtle), a horse named Asher, and a cat named Winnie! Michaela and I rescued Mable together and she is our shared dog.
I grew up with a black lab named Dakota and a Siamese cat named Mocha. I was 9 when Dakota passed away, it was devastating, we waited 4 years before we could open our hearts up to another dog. Buddy came into my life when I was 13 , he was a black lab / border collie mix. He was a family dog again, but I spent lots of my time training him to do tricks and walking him.
Around the same time I started really learning to ride horses and doing barn chores. When I was 15 I got my first horse, Asher! He is my heart horse, and he will live with me forever, I love him so much. Asher was 4 years old when I got him, and he was super green. He was a lot of pony, and frequently threw his previous owner off. With consistent work and training, he truly turned into the perfect pony.
I dog sat with Michaela for years, as a hobby and as a summer job. We continued throughout barn chores, and throughout my job at the kennel. Eventually deciding to open our own dog sitting business.
Over the last few years I have been putting a lot of time into dog training. Our more formal training started with a basic obedience class that I took Turbo to. Then we did some classes with Mable from intermediate to maintenance, and agility. Now my main project is Myrtle, we’ve done a few classes and tons and tons of practice outside of classes. I’m excited to see how my first sport puppy (Myrtle) turns out!
