Meet your Dog Trainers

Dallas Hanson—Head Trainer

Tennessee-born Dallas is a passionate dog trainer looking to help owners create a more peaceful home environment. He grew up around floppy-eared hound dogs and pumpkin-faced pit bulls, and his pack now includes a Rottweiler mix named Ross and a Goldendoodle named Juice Box.

Dallas worked as a veterinary technician for four years before being promoted to office manager, overseeing three small animal hospitals. During that time, he witnessed many owners struggle to communicate effectively with their dogs and grow frustrated. He decided to learn more about canine behavior by seeking dog trainer certification through Canine Trade Group.

Dallas liked that CTG offered results-based methods and now feels confident in his ability to help owners create a more peaceful lifestyle with their dogs. No problem is too difficult; he’ll be there for you and your dog until your training goals are achieved.

Dallas enjoys hiking, camping, and traveling.

Shade Banter– Professional Dog Trainer

Shade has been obsessed with animals for as long as he can remember, both his and his mom were always rescuing injured animals and nursing them back to health when he was growing up, and he’s dogs ever since he was born. When he was 6, her mom took him to the shelter and he finally got a dog of his very own, he picked a Rough Coat Collie and named her Lassie, after his favorite movie at the time. He was his absolute best friend and he has cared for and trained several different breeds since, personally and professionally, including 2 of his own service dogs. He currently has an American Bully named Boogie and a very elderly Chihuahua he found on the street named Burbuja.

Shade has over 10 years of professional experience working with dogs, including nutrition and grooming, so rest assured that you and your furry friend will be in loving and experienced hands. Shade sought out a job with Rose City Dog Training to further her knowledge of dogs and dog training because he wants to help dogs be as happy and comfortable as they can possibly be living in our world while also fostering unbreakable bonds with their human companions. Utilizing what he has learned through Rose City Dog training to do more training with his own dog has really shown him that this proven protocol works better than any other method he has ever tried and that makes Shade so excited to share his knowledge and confident in his ability to meet your training goals.
