Black Dog Kennel is a small, family-owned kennel located in scenic Waleska, Georgia. We are nestled in the foothills of the appalachian’s, on nearly 7 wooded acres, with access to water at the back of the property.
We provide an intimate setting so that your dog can receive the attention and quality of training that they deserve. We have all of the equipment, knowledge, and skill necessary to turn your family companion into an obedient, farm, or field ready dog.
the owner
Hannah Yost has been an animal lover since she was a small child, and grew up around horses, dogs, and other animals. She has been hunting & enjoying the outdoors for just as long. In 2020, Hannah decided to pursue her skill in dog training, after having great success with personal dogs in Hunting Retriever Club (HRC) and North American Versatile Hunting Dog (NAVHDA) events. Hannah has a knack for starting dogs and putting a solid foundation on them, as well as bringing young dogs up through the levels. Hannah has the experience, time, and knowledge necessary to bring your young dog from a blank slate to a seasoned companion.
