Hello. I’m Jaimie Shaw, the owner of Southern Mutt and SM’s Trainer and Behavior Consultant. The buck stops with me, and I love that. Because I love what I do—helping serious, fun-loving dog lovers like you enjoy life with your dog to the fullest.

I’m also quite serious about what I do, which is why I hold the most rigorous training certificate available in our industry. I want you to know you and your dog are in the best of hands.
