December 13 - Hannah Clark
Hannah had a bit of a unique path into dog training. While she was getting her Ph.D, she started fostering for several herding dog rescues and fell in love with training them before they went to their forever homes. She learned so much about dog behavior and training from her foster dogs and loved the science behind the training. She started teaching at a local dog training facility in North Carolina in 2017, and when she moved to Texas, she decided to try dog training full time and has never looked back! She shares her life with 6 wonderful dogs (2 Aussies, 2 Border Collies, 1 Mixed breed, 1 Princess).
Her style for teaching agility is one of wholly understanding both the dog and handler team and working with each team to help them achieve their goals by balancing dog training, handling, natural movement tendencies and skill building.
