Boston for the Dogs is the brainchild of Hannalore, born out of a lifetime of loving and caring for animals. She brings an unparalleled passion and devotion to her business marked by an unconditional, unapologetic, fierce love for each dog. Hannalore is an active member of her community, and her social media content cultivates a family atmosphere and network of dog lovers.

With a background working with horses and a degree in education, Hannalore combines her knowledge of working with animals with her ability to support people in how they learn best. By apprenticing with various dog trainers, regularly attending seminars and trainings, and fostering ongoing connection, support, and mentorship among trainers, Hannalore has gained a large and varying skillset to match her love of all breeds. She is an AKC Canine Good Citizen evaluator. As a service dog owner herself, she has first-hand experience having trained her own service dog, Seamus.

Hannalore is continuously adapting her services to meet the diverse needs of her clientele and is willing to work with all clients to best serve their dogs. By personally scheduling each dog, Hannalore is able to evaluate and modify each plan to provide the most reliable, loving service tailored to each client.

When not hanging out with your dogs, Hannalore enjoys craft beer, traveling, training her own dogs, hiking, and spending time with the BFTD family.

About Gian:

Gian was the first employee of Boston for the Dogs and joined the pack in 2013. Inspired by the success he achieved (with the help of Hannalore) in training his own skittish pup, Gian brings his ever-positive attitude to help dogs be their best selves.

His gentle, calm demeanor coupled with a strong presence gives him the edge over timid and untrusting dogs, allowing him to diffuse tense situations with grace. Gian is able to handle some of the most challenging pups with ease, assisting them in gaining the confidence and skills they need to succeed.
