Really wanted to love Longsnouts, as I appreciate her modern, progressive/dog-centered, and positive methods. Unfortunately communication is nearly impossible; emails go unanswered, website and calendar are out of date and difficult to navigate.
August 2024
Went to a few of her outdoor group classes about 10 years ago. It was a bit chaotic as she and her assistant would make their rounds to each handler. I did learn from her the idea of pairing triggers with food to make positive associations. Most of the class was tossing treats onto the grass. I definitely understand, appreciate and use this method. It is important to expose dogs to the environment and her class was good for this. She made sure that the dogs were spread far enough apart.
I agree with another person's sentiment that structure was lacking. I imagine she has developed/improved on this respect over the years.
Hannah was a savior for our family! We signed up for four in-home sessions to help us manage interactions between our toddler and our dog. After a few instances when our dog had snipped at our toddler, we were fairly nervous. Hannah was absolutely amazing in helping us restore our confidence in dealing with our dog. She is an absolute delight to work with and is incredibly knowledgeable about everything dog-related!
