Monica Hanna

Latchkey Pets located in Kensington Maryland uses science -based, non- forceful, non-aversive methods to help clients and their canines.Whether you are looking to teach a new puppy manners or to improve a more complex behavior problem, I can help.During our initial consultation, I look at your dog's behavior and your lifestyle, and goals. My aim is to help you to achieve a cooperative relationship with dog. As a trainer and a behavioral consultant, I come up with a plan of action that aims to maintain everyone's safety and sanity without damaging the human-animal bond.Latchkey Pets was initially aimed at helping families who were away from their dog companions for long periods of time. During the Covid Pandemic-years, I found that many of my clients, although working from home, continued to struggle to provide for their dog's physical and emotional needs. My business provides mid-day maintenance training and practice with your dog. During a fun, and mentally stimulating session, your dog receives exercise and the opportunity to problem solve and practice behaviors on cue. Many of my clients see improvements that last even when their dog's behavior training takes a back seat to their busy schedules.
