Welcome to the

Our story
WELCOME!
My name is Hana Robinson-Niemi, I am born and raised here in the Terrace and Thornhill area and love that this place is home. I wear many hats including mum, wife, dog owner/lover as well as dog trainer/small business owner.
I have been training dogs professionally for 9 years, worked with dogs in the community for 10+ years and have met/handled 140+ breeds of dog.
When I am not training, I love reading, road trips, making sourdough, walking with my dogs and spending time with family.

My Girls
Ronda is my 8 year old German Shepherd/Golden Retriever mix. She has been with me from the start of my training career. She has helped countless dogs overcome their fears, build confidence and be a great role model.
She loves to go for car rides, run on pack walks, and lives to work, whether it be in obedience, scent detection or agility.
Sport titles:
K9SSG 1/4 Level 1 Interiors title
CWAGS LEVEL 1
Dorito (Dory) is my 4 year old Labrador Retriever, she was brought into our family as my sport dog prospect. She lives to retrieve anything, but disc is what sets her soul on fire.
She loves to go fast and when running in the forest is always a red blur. She is food obsessed and if given a choice she would spend her days playing any version of fetch, doing scent detection and eating.
