"We got Shawna's name from our veterinarian for help
with our new Corgi puppy, Lucy, who is a doll, but with
attitude.  Thankfully, it was Shawna to the rescue and we
haven't looked back.  She's an awesome trainer, who
taught us patience, persistence, and practice.  We have
also boarded Lucy with Shawna several times and found
our little doggie actually reluctant to leave Shawna and
her dogs.  In addition, I have called or emailed Shawna
many times with various problems and found her highly
accessible and very helpful.  I've also left Lucy with
Shawna for a "bootcamp" weekend, and our puppy came
home much improved.  I highly recommend Shawna as a
dog trainer, and a lady with character and integrity."

"I contacted Shawna when my husband and I were
absolutely at our wits’ end with the constant leash-pulling
during dog walks. During a single private consultation at
our home, Shawna showed us how to calmly and
effectively take charge and eliminate our dogs’ unwanted
behavior. Shawna is patient, very clear in her techniques,
and doesn’t mind answering a thousand questions. She’s
solution-oriented and can accomplish a great deal in very
little time. Walks have since become much more
enjoyable for us and for our two dogs, and we were so
pleased with Shawna’s work that we enrolled both dogs in
her group obedience classes. Dog training is definitely a
team effort, and I’ve become a much better, more
consistent dog owner. Now I have two dogs who can
respond to hand signals and verbal commands and are
secure with their place within “the pack”…even though
that means they’re outranked by a toddler."

"We were so impressed at your ability to calm and
socialize Gracie, our English Springer Spaniel and have
told many of our friends about the experience we had
with you.  So it comes as no surprise that you have
decided to make ‘Maverick Dog Training’ your full time
career.  This will enable many more dog owners to
experience your unique dog training techniques and the
ability you have in coaching them on how to continue
training their dogs with your help.  We found it
remarkable, that with such little effort for just a few
minutes each day, we achieved results we never thought
possible in a very short space of time.  Best of all, its
great fun too!  We wish you well in your venture and will
not hesitate to keep telling others about you."
