MEET THE TRAINERS

Leri Hanson

Leri Hanson is a world renowned dog fancier, and handler that specializes in the American Pit Bull Terrier breed. She has successfully made an impressive name for herself in the dog world starting with training and owning the first ever French Ring III APBT. To this day, Leri is a strong advocate of responsible dog ownership and ethical breeding programs and is a vital entity in ensuring that the APBT, and any other breed of dog, is taught properly to be a respectable member of society.

She has been flown all accross the world to judge the APBT breed and is very well respected in the working and non working dog community. She has a lot of work under her belt and we are extremely happy to have her on our team!
