Hernan grew up in the mountains of South America, surrounded by dogs from an early age. In 2023, he decided to turn his passion for animals into a way of life—one that brings him personal fulfillment while also helping others. Aware of the challenges many dogs faced during and after the pandemic, especially those suffering from separation anxiety, he created The Dognan. Hernan graduated as a certified dog trainer from Animal Behavior College, where he discovered that one of the most essential skills for a dog’s well-being is learning to walk properly on a leash. The Dognan began in Canada and is now based in the Tampa, Florida area. Hernan has over 20 years of experience working with dogs, and for more than a year, he has also been caring for cats.
