Trainer Bio
Hannah Donahoe, CPA, CPDT-KA
I earned my MBA from Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business and became a Certified Public Accountant (CPA). After several years in Public Accounting, I transitioned to an industry role where remote work during the pandemic gave me the opportunity to welcome my first Newfoundland, Windy, into my life.
​
Training Windy sparked a passion in me for dog training, leading me to leave a career in finance to become a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA). I began working in a training facility in downtown Chicago, where I had the opportunity to train a variety of dogs through our board and train program. I have two adolescent Newfoundland's of my own, that I train in water rescue, draft and competition obedience. I quickly learned that the techniques used for my giant breeds needed to be adapted for other dogs, allowing me to develop a versatile training approach.
​
While I have a special affection for gentle giants, I enjoy working with dogs of all types and backgrounds. I approach each situation with an open mind, helping owners find what works best for their circumstances and unique goals for their dogs. My holistic and practical approach centers on understanding the causes of certain behaviors and developing solutions that suit both the owner's lifestyle and the dog's needs. We are excited to help you and your dog live a better, healthier life together!

OUR SERVICES
PRIVATE COACHING
In our private lessons, we focus solely on your dog, addressing specific behavioral concerns and obedience training. Each session is carefully crafted to meet the individual needs of your canine companion.
INTENSIVE PROGRAMS
Training your dog involves a steep learning curve. Both the dog and the owner need to develop new skills and habits. Even when working from home, it can be daunting to take on alone. By enrolling your pup in a structured program, you can jumpstart their training and learn how to maintain the progress.
PET CARE
For our existing clients, we also provide pet care services, including feeding, walking, and playtime, to ensure your pet is well taken care of in your absence.
