Meet Hannah & The K9 Blueprint
Hannah’s journey into dog training started in 2016 when she got her German Shepherd, Dakota, who sparked a deep passion for understanding canine behavior and communication. That passion led her to attend the National K9 Learning Center in 2018, where she earned her certifications and later worked teaching future dog trainers while handling client dogs with a wide range of behavioral challenges.
After launching The K9 Blueprint in 2019, Hannah dedicated herself to helping owners build lasting relationships with their dogs through structure, consistency, and real-world training. Today, she continues that mission alongside her Border Collie, Slater, and Husky, providing personalized training in a home environment focused on lifelong results.
My Journey
Professional Background
I began my dog training journey in early 2018 after earning my Master Dog Trainer certification from The National K9 School for Dog Trainers in Columbus, OH. Before transitioning to dog training, I spent several years caring for dogs in both my own home and the homes of their owners. My passion for strengthening the bond between humans and dogs led me to get my first dog, which sparked my path into professional training.
My Dogs
Dakota, my German Shepherd, played a pivotal role in shaping my growth as a trainer. Her unique personality and challenges continuously pushed me to expand my knowledge and refine my skills. She was my constant source of inspiration, reminding me every day of the power of patience and understanding in building a trusting relationship with a dog.
Alongside her are Slater, my energetic 3-year-old Border Collie, and Skyler, my playful 2-year-old Husky. Each of them brings their own strengths and quirks, and together, they keep me learning and evolving as a trainer.
My Passion
What drives my passion for dog training is the opportunity to help people build meaningful, joyful connections with their dogs. There's nothing more rewarding than seeing a dog and their owner flourish together, creating a bond based on trust, communication, and mutual respect.
Building Bonds Through Understanding
- Positive Reinforcement: Every dog in Tampa Bay learns best when training is fun, rewarding, and builds confidence. My dog training approach celebrates successes and creates positive associations with learning for both puppies and adult dogs.
- Individual Approach: No two dogs are alike. I tailor each dog training program in Tampa Bay to match your dog's personality, learning style, and your family's specific goals. This includes specialized puppy training in Tampa and customized dog boarding experiences in Tampa, FL.
- Lasting Results: My goal isn't just temporary compliance—it's creating lasting behavioral changes through expert dog training in Tampa Bay that strengthen the bond between you and your dog for years to come, whether you have a new puppy or an adult dog.
