Experience
Shannon is a graduate of Rutgers University with a BA in Information Technology. While at Rutgers, she was part of the Rutgers University Police Department’s Mounted Patrol Unit where she had the opportunity to work with and train the horses in the program. Shannon decided that she had more of a passion for working with animals than working in IT, and decided she wanted to become a professional dog trainer. Shannon began working for C 2 Dog Training LLC in February 2021. She graduated from the Karen Pryor Academy for dog trainers with the credentials of KPA Certified Training Partner August 2021. She earned her Fear Free Certified Professional certificate from Fear Free Leaders in Animal Wellbeing in March 2022. She earned her Certified Professional Dog Trainer-Knowledge Assessed certification from the Certification Council of Professional Dog Trainers in September 2023.
