Today we’d like to introduce you to Hannalore Tice.
Hi Hannalore, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
I am a traveling dog trainer that started her work in the Boston area. We as a company and clients travel monthly to the Orlando area to meet up with training clients, our dog training peers and more to train service dogs. We love using the resources and attractions in the Orlando region to work with our service dogs in training to proof them so they can incredible working dogs for the disabled.
When I started training dogs, I reached out to many of my peers and trainers that I looked up to and found some that I could connect with. I have grown into one of the biggest dog training companies in the Boston area and have started expanding our training reach to the Orlando region after connecting with other companies down here.
After a few trips to places like Universal, I was hooked on the acceptance and support I had within the community. Being able to have places to go that you can ensure a dog’s training success brings me joy. We are in this together for the greater good!
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Are any roads really smooth? Most of the times, they start out like that but eventually get rocky! I learned a lot through trial and error in my training. Taking my life experiences and learning from them and then applying them to my company and training style.
Some of the hardest struggles that I am faced with every day is imposter syndrome. Am I worthy? And I doing enough?
That is why the training we do here in Orlando is so valuable and important to me. I get to take the hard work and put it to WORK in the real world! It allows me to see the things I need to strengthen and things that I am doing well! Dog training is NOT linear, in fact, It is just a big ol’ roller coaster!
Creating programs, working with a large variety of clients and having to adapt to changing times also has been a challenge, but we do the work, and we are seeing the success with our dogs and our clients.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I own Boston for the Dogs. We work with ALL breeds and backgrounds of dogs and we are known for really tapping into what the DOG needs and training the dog in front of us so we can get them and their family up for a lifetime of success.
We work with dogs that come from rescue and breeders alike! We love both! We also love working with working breeds! We have an amazing team of trainers that works between Boston and Orlando and every single one of my trainers has something unique they bring to the table for the dogs and our clients alike.
We have worked hard to also cultivate a training-focused dog community. We all support each other as friends and family. Every one of my team and clients come together from various backgrounds of life for one common core goal and that is the support for our dogs!
I pride myself in this inclusive and diverse community of dogs and humans alike.
