Shaker Paws, LLC is owned and operated by Mariday Geyer, a long-time Berkshire resident, who grew up in Richmond, Massachusetts on a small farm, where she cared for dogs, cats, chickens, sheep, and horses. Her father, who grew up on a farm in Maine and held a degree in Agricultural Engineering, instilled in her a love of the outdoors and animal care. Animals have always been a part of her life and she is pleased to now make pet care and dog training an integral part of her living.
Mariday is an avid dog agility competitor and also competes in rally obedience and nosework. Some of her other passions are trick training, off-leash hiking in the beautiful Berkshire hills, assisting area canine trainers with her dog, Reiki for pets and much more.
She is a member of APDT (Association of Professional Dog Trainers) and a fully certified Connection Cooperation & Control canine Instructor (CCC-CI). She loves to further her knowledge by attending training and informational seminars that emphasize a positive training model and benefit the pets placed under her care.
