Sit… Stay.. Learn… HOUNDS WITH HANNAH
Whether your pup is a total beginner or just needs to brush up on their manners, we’re here to turn tail wags into well-trained wows!
THINK DOG,
TALK DOG
Dog training should be balanced and always looking for the best way the dog can succeed. Training should be fun – for both you and your dog. Using reward-based, motivational methods, Hannah focus’s on building a strong bond through treats, toys, praise, and play. The goal? A happy, confident, and well-behaved dog you can take anywhere with pride.
All dogs are welcome, no matter the breed, shape, or size. Bad behaviour isn’t your dog being naughty – it just means they haven’t learned yet. That’s where Hannah come’s in!

Puppy Classes
Start your pup off on the right paw with a 6-week course, designed for puppies from their first vaccination up to 5 months old. Each class runs for 40 minutes and is packed with fun and learning.
The first week is humans only – Hannah will guide you through key topics like socialisation, toilet training, essential equipment, and nutrition. She’ll also demonstrate all the exercises your puppy will learn in the weeks to come, including:
- Sit, down, stand
- Handling and grooming
- Walking nicely on a lead
- Coming when called
- Ignoring distractions
- Manners around people and other dogs
NOT READY TO STOP?

About Hannah Winship
BCCS Dip.AdvCanBhv
Advanced Canine Behaviourist & Qualified Canine Nutritionist
For over 15 years, I’ve proudly taught the Kennel Club Good Citizen Dog Scheme, helping more than 10,000 dog owners and their companions earn their Bronze awards – an achievement I’m truly proud of.
My journey with dogs began with a Rottweiler puppy named Roxy – the very first thing I did after leaving home was to bring her into my life. Though Roxy passed away at just six years old, she was the inspiration behind my passion for competitive obedience and everything that followed.
Since then, I’ve owned and bred Rottweilers and Labradors, competed in hundreds of obedience shows, and earned a place at Crufts in 2017. I’ve also competed in Championship Breed Shows, dabbled in Rally-O and Agility, and more recently found success in Gundog Working Tests. 2023, 2024 and 2025 saw me at Crufts again, this time in The Good Citizen Ring demonstrating Puppy and Bronze classes and taking live Good Citizen Bronze tests, as well as my moment of fame in 2024, being invited to judge the Bronze Test in the main arena.
My hobby is training and working gundogs – especially Labradors. In the winter, you’ll find me out on shoots, either shooting with my dogs on the peg or picking up in a team on a large estate.
