Shawna is a dog trainer at Patriot K9s and started her time here as a volunteer. Before coming to Patriot K9s Shawna ran her own dog grooming business where she also offered dog training and pulse electromagnetic field therapy (PEMF) to her clients.
She has titled her personal dogs in AKC obedience, has two registered therapy dogs through Therapy Dogs International, and has volunteered her time to two separate non-profit organizations to share her training skills. She is an AKC CGC evaluator, certified professional pet groomer, certified PEMF therapist, and is certified in pet CPR.
As a life-long animal enthusiast Shawna was raised with Labs that her family used for hunting purposes. Her passion for dogs has followed her into adulthood and she is now the proud owner of a “hodge podge” of different dog breeds.
