TRAINING & BEHAVIOUR

Our story

My name is Hannah, founder at Kentwone Dogs. Through training my first dog, Red Fox Labrador called Oakley (Kentwone Lucky Gold), and watching him excel in his training, I quickly developed a genuine passion for canine psychology and began to take time to understand the most effective forms of communication between dog and handler; and this is where the Kentwone Journey began.

Over the years, have achieved a Higher Distinction in Level 3 canine training, Higher Distinction in Level 3 Canine behaviour, along with a Distinction in MCMA Canine First Aid. Furthermore, I continue to spend time researching and studying the wide range of training techniques to further my knowledge and to continue to provide “life changing” results for both client owners and their dogs.

Kentwone Dogs is proud to cover Falmouth and Truro, along with their surrounding areas, for any private 1-to-1 training. 

Please don’t hesitate to get in touch to discuss what we can offer you and your dog – I look forward to hearing from you.

    We have hired the paddock for agility and walking our dogs. The set up is excellent, the paddock is clean and accessible- while secure!
    The site has plenty of parking, and is a great place to come along or to meet as a group.
    Hannah is
    … More responsive and booking last minute (if needed) is easy!
    It’s a great local facility that I really enjoy using, so do my dogs. I highly recommend Hannah and all the facilities Kentwone has too offer.

    Great experience from start to finish with Hannah of Kentwone Dogs. We have used Hannah’s Doggy Daycare services whilst down on the Roseland holidaying. Hannah initially took the time to get to know our sometimes fear reactive dog, assessing … More her suitability for the daycare services. After agreeing to take her on, Hannah carefully integrated our dog into the daycare groups with no issues at all. Our dog found her freedom to roam in the secure field and settled well with all the other dogs. We felt confident in Hannah’s ability to safely look after our dog, on several occasions and understand our dogs needs. All round great communication and experience. No hesitation in recommending Kentwone Dogs and will certainly be using Hannah’s services in the future.

    Hannah has been a tremendous help with my puppy. From the start, she took the time to understand the root of the issues we were facing and put a clear, effective plan in place. She's been incredibly supportive and responsive, always … More available via text for questions and follow-up support. The follow-up check-in was especially appreciated and showed how much she truly cares. I highly recommend Hannah – she’s friendly, understanding, and genuinely committed to helping you and your dog succeed.
    Thanks again Hannah!

    Oh my goodness, our 3 girls love the Paddock so much we have been 3 times in 2 weeks! Lots of equipment for them to use, space to run free and sniff and they can chase each other at speed! Completely private and clearly a lot of thought … More has gone into setting up this facility.
    Ideal location for us as we live on the Roseland. Thanks Hannah and team for a great experience.

    our dog who is a border collie and he just turned 1. he always pull on the lead always distracted and hannah trained him perfectly and it will take time but the first

  • Avatar Sarah Rundle ★★★★★ 4 months ago
    Absolutely brilliant. I first met Hannah when I rescued a year old labrador, Poppy, with problems. We went to training with Hannah which was great, and now Poppy goes to Doggy Day Care once a week. Huge paddock with every facility available … More and properly supervised all the time. The dogs have a wonderful time. Hannah knows all the dogs and their owners very well.
    Highly recommended.
  • Avatar Gareth Lay ★★★★★ 4 months ago
    We can’t thank Hannah at Kentwone Dogs enough for the amazing support she’s given our dachshund, Birdie. She started off very nervous and vocal, but with Hannah’s expert guidance, and the help of her lovely dog Oakley, Birdie is well on … More her way to becoming much more confident. Hannah’s calm, patient approach has made a real difference. Highly recommend!

    First met Hannah on the beach, Hannah had several dogs off lead under total control and had to chat to her and find out her secret.
    Had several training sessions with her now at center and home, having a lively 2 year old Golden retriever
    … More boy that has selective hearing and pulled like a trooper.
    Hannah has worked wonders with Walter and can highly recommend, Walter loves Hannah and we have seen him improve with consistant training and effort he had started to listen and pulling and recall is much improved.
    Hannah is full of knowledge and has a natural ability with dogs, always there with valuable advice.
    Easy 5 stars for Hannah and Kentwone dogs
    Thank you Mags And Walter

    We cannot recommend Hannah at Kentwone Dogs highly enough! We were referred to her by our vet in Truro, and from the moment we started working with her, it was clear we were in excellent hands. We have a 9-month-old, 38kg Rhodesian Ridgeback … More named Kali, a breed known for their stubbornness, and we've faced a number of training challenges, especially with lead pulling.
    We opted for the introductory package of four 1-1 sessions, and the progress we've seen over the last couple of months has been nothing short of amazing. Hannah is so patient, understanding, and knowledgeable. Her approach is tailored to Kali's specific needs, and we've learned so many invaluable tips and techniques.
    Lead walking used to be a real struggle—my husband was always the one who took Kali out because I could never manage her strength. Thanks to Hannah's expert advice, I can now walk her confidently without the constant pulling! It's become a bit of a competition between me and my husband as to who gets to walk her now, given how much better she is on the lead!
    In addition to lead walking, we've also seen great improvements in Kali's recall, and the bond between us and our puppy is growing stronger every day. Hannah's guidance has been instrumental in building a positive and trusting relationship with Kali.
    The sessions were held in familiar locations where we regularly walk Kali, which helped her feel more comfortable and relaxed during training. We are also looking forward to continuing our training journey with the weekly social neutrality classes over the next 6 weeks!
    Hannah offers a range of services, and her website is really helpful with all the information and pricing. We’re so glad we found Kentwone Dogs and will continue to work with Hannah as we go forward. We can now safely go to the pub with Kali too! Highly recommend to anyone with a dog in need of training—Hannah is a true professional!

    We hired the paddock for an agility session for all our family dogs. The facility’s are amazing, we all had so much fun and will be booking again. The paddock is secure, clean and has accessible parking. Hannah is an excellent dog trainer … More and I highly recommend Kentowne Dogs.
  • Avatar Robyn O'Connor ★★★★★ 8 months ago
    I took my Sprocker Spaniel, Enzo, to see Hannah as he needed help with the basics. We focused alot of lead walking, whistle work and greeting people in our home. He took to her so well, especially as he usually is quite nervous of new people … More and dogs. He loves seeing her and you can tell he is very engaged in the sessions. Hannah is so helpful and just so easy to talk too. I can message her anytime with questions etc and she is amazing to respond and give advice. I get quite anxious about change but she has supported us the whole way. I couldn't recommend her more as we have has such a positive experience with her.
  • Avatar Gillian Müller ★★★★★ 8 months ago
    My dog has just come back from day care and despite not being used to anyone other than family, she clearly had a great time. I even received some photos to put my mind at ease.
    Hannah is helpful, caring, knowledgeable and totally reliable.
    … More I can thoroughly recommend Kentwone (Hannah) and am delighted to have such an amazing facility/service on the Roseland.
  • Avatar Jessica Milling ★★★★★ a year ago
    My puppy Lola loves her time with Hannah at daycare. It's great to see her mixing with other dogs safely and she always comes home wagging her tail! Hannah has been great at welcoming Lola and being flexible with times etc to help … More us out. It's great to have somewhere to drop our dog off knowing she's safe and well looked after. Highly recommend.
  • Avatar Sarina McNamara ★★★★★ 10 months ago
    I used Hannah recently after I broke my leg and was unable to walk Cavendish. Hannah responded straight away with a solution and Cavendish really enjoyed his play dates with a few other Labradors. Great facilities and set up, secure and … More fun for the dogs. Hannah clearly has a passion for what she does. I highly recommend! Sarina & Cavendish
  • Avatar Simon Rowell ★★★★★ 8 months ago
    It's a great facility. Our 2 labs are part of the Wednesday Afternoon gang, a well looked after 2 hour session which ends up with between 6 to 8 dogs running around having a great time. The enclousre is good, lots of things to play … More on, and Hannah makes sure that the session has boundaries in terms of dogs being together in a generally civilised way. I thoroughly recommend it.
  • Avatar Dan Claire ★★★★★ a year ago
    Hannah has proven to be extremely helpful, friendly and knowledgeable in helping us train our Labrador puppy. We have had 1-1 training sessions and Hannah regularly takes our pup out for walks along with her own and we have seen amazing … More improvements in lead walking, recall and general responsive behaviour.
    We would highly recommend!!!
  • Avatar nikki clemens ★★★★★ a year ago
    Ted has really enjoyed his time in the paddock.Its a safe, huge compound with lots of equipment to play on. A one to one session with Hannah worked magic and Ted is looking forward to joining in the fun at Fridays Agility Club.
  • Avatar Lucy Metcalfe ★★★★★ a year ago
    Harry our Labrador pup didn’t like getting in and out of the car and would avoid going near it. He was becoming too big to pick up, so we called in Hannah, which I wish we had done sooner, as one session with her, problem solved. From day … More one Hannah seemed to understand Harry and he understood Hannah, she really is a “dog whisperer”. I really believe there’s no training or behavioural problem she couldn’t solve . We also now have a cocker pup called Bertie who is loving his training and learning so much. Hannah adapts her training for each dog and their owners needs and is always on hand for help and advice. She has been a godsend! Harry and Bertie are always so happy to see Hannah whether it’s training or having fun at daycare or at the paddock.
    Thank you Hannah
    Next stop, Agility!

    Hannah has been a fantastic trainer. Her knowledge and experience are excellent and she has really helped us with our puppy.
    Would definitely recommend!
  • Avatar Nick Avill ★★★★★ a year ago
    Used paddock facilities for my two GSD’s this week allowing them free run for an hour, absolutely excellent set up.
    Also spoke at length with Hannah about behavioural issues (nervous) with one of them, she is extremely knowledgeable, a
    … More great help and support.
    As a result booked a 1-1 session next week and also booked paddock again for next few weeks.
    Highly recommend facilities and Hannah.
  • Avatar marni metcalf ★★★★★ a year ago
    We would highly recommend kentwone dog training school. From start to finish, Hannah was fantastic with our young dog and ourselves. After an hour of Hannah working with us and giving us the guidance and skills in which to use and work … More with, we left feeling empowered and a lot more confident in what we needed to do to help our dog succeed. We have booked in follow up sessions in a few weeks which we were also grateful of, along with having the support via phone and emails if needed. Hannah was amazing.
  • Avatar Melissa Louise ★★★★★ a year ago
    A changed 11month old puppy cocker spaniel who is prone to be a puller! Within 1 hr and a half. Seemed to be a miracle worker 😄 recommend 100%. Without a doubt. 1 session and my pup is walking to heel. Which I've had him since 12weeks … More and pulled extremely up until this first training session 2x days ago. If you need and want a changed fur baby within a short space of time I would truly recommend. ⭐️ 🐾🐕
  • Avatar Karen Kerkin ★★★★★ a year ago
    Hannah helped us train our new Cocker spaniel puppy. Hannah was very professional and friendly. What she suggested and demonstrated with the puppy made sense to us and made a massive improvement to his development and discipline. We would … More strongly recommend Hannah.
  • Avatar helen billington ★★★★★ a year ago
    Hannah is known in our house as ‘Saint Hannah’, as she works miracles with wild beasts. She has given us clear and simple advice, which has been almost instantly effective. We would recommend her highly.
  • Avatar Kerstin Peters-gauld ★★★★★ a year ago
    Hannah arrived and my misguided and misbehaving dog seemed to instantly recognise that she'd meet her match.
    Hannah was patient and very lonely, in one hour both my dog and myself were transformed from stressed owner and anxious dog,
    … More to a carefree owner / dog!
    There is still a lot of practice needed, but Hannah is always to hand with advice and guidance.
    I would give her 10 stars of I could!
  • Avatar Becca Cornford ★★★★★ 2 years ago
    I have grown up with dogs as pets, however within 5 minutes of meeting Hannah - I knew that pup & I could learn so much. Thank you Hannah - you are amazing! Loving this pup training foundation course.
    Hannah is knowledgeable, highly
    … More qualified & kind, Pup & I enjoy our time with Hannah so much.
  • Avatar Jo-Anne Manning ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    I recommend Hannah. She has been brilliant our Rescue Labrador with a high prey drive and constant jumping at people. He is like a different dog with her input. Hannah has also helped our chi cross who had developed issues with guarding … More since the arrival of Marli in September. Thank you Hannah. You have been amazing .
  • Avatar Sian Griffiths ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    Hannah is a caring and knowledgable young lady whose passion for dogs shines through. She has worked with my Labrador to cement previous training we had done (recall and loose lead) and has begun scent training with her. This has been fabulous … More as Hannah has shown us how to use our working dog’s natural instinct to her and our enjoyment.
    Hannah only uses force free training methods which is in line with my personal ethics.
    Our dog gets so excited to see her that if she could write a review it would clearly be top tier too!
  • Avatar Milly Simcock ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    Kentwone training was incredible! Hannah was so supportive and so knowledgable in dog training, she gave me amazing advice to put into place at home and made both me and my dog feel very comfortable. Highly recommend for adult dogs and … More puppies alike!
  • Avatar Kelly Atkins ★★★★★ 2 years ago
    We had our first training session today and with 5 dogs in our home it’s a nightmare to control them from barking jumping etc we decided to give Hannah a try to work with our 2 youngest dog a Rottweiler 12 months and a Labrador who is 11 … More months.
    By the end of our 1st session our dogs all made so much progress. We will definitely be booking a 2nd session
  • Avatar Sharon gill ★★★★★ 2 years ago
    I booked Hannah to help with my puppy, who had no social skills as her mum rejected the litter and was hand reared, I got her at 5 weeks, well all I can say is Hannah is amazing and cares so much for her clients and their owners, my grandson … More was scared of our new puppy, because of her nipping at his ankles, 3 sessions later they are playing football together in the garden, I have a completely different puppy, she is confident and her behaviour has improved so much, all thanks to Hannah’s training of us both, I always look forward to our training sessions and can’t wait for the lead training to start and I know that if I have any concerns with something my little Skyla is doing, I can message Hannah and she will advise me on what to do and she is always so reassuring, I would recommend Kentwone Dogs training a 100%, wether you have a puppy or older dog that you need help with Hannah is the person you need in your life
  • Avatar Gillian McAlister ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    Hannah has some simple, creative ideas that totally work! Our puppy, Bumble, loves her training and hasn't realised that it's not just play. I highly recommend Kentwone Dogs Training to everyone, even if you've had dogs … More before. I've learnt loads - thanks Hannah.
  • Avatar Sharene Jones ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    I recently used Kentwone Dogs training services because my Staffie, Missy, gets over excited when we have visitors.
    Hannah, quite clearly loves dogs and her expertise was amazing! It was all common sense, but I just hadn’t seen it.
    With
    … More practice and persistence, I’m sure this problem will be resolved soon.
    Thanks Hannah
  • Avatar Lauren Chenery ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    Highly recommended! We have bought 4 sessions and the first two have been so so helpful already - my dog is so much calmer and easier to manage. She has given me so many great tips on keeping up the skills for my black lab after our sessions … More too which she helped me realise was so important!
