Shannon & Steve Renn
Owners
Shannon and Steve were born and raised in the Metro Atlanta area, where years spent fostering and rehabilitating dogs in need shaped their compassion and deep understanding of canine care. After a long career in the insurance industry, Shannon exchanged paperwork for pawprints and devoted herself fully to a life with animals. Steve remains her steady support — caring for the dogs, maintaining the property, and helping ensure everything behind the scenes runs seamlessly.
Shannon leads our boarding operations with exceptional attentiveness and heart. She manages everything from client communication to daily routines, enrichment, and comfort, ensuring each dog receives individualized care in a peaceful, home-like environment. Her dedication extends well beyond what traditional boarding offers; she has truly built her home and lifestyle around the safety, comfort, and happiness of the dogs entrusted to her. This deep commitment is what makes our boarding experience feel safe, warm, and uniquely personal.
When she isn’t caring for client dogs, Shannon loves training her Malinois, Reina, in agility and dock diving and caring for her menagerie of rescue dogs.
Meghan Bodie
Lead Trainer & Training Program Manager
Meghan is passionate about helping dogs and their people build strong, joyful partnerships. Whether you're just beginning your training journey or pursuing competitive sport goals, she believes that training should be approachable, enjoyable, and grounded in clear communication between dog and handler. A strong emphasis on building solid foundations helps every team grow confidently and progress with purpose. Her methods combine science-based training with practical experience, with every piece of guidance supported by clear explanations and thoughtful planning to help owners understand the “why” behind what they’re learning and how to reach their goals.
Meghan’s commitment to continued learning includes the completion of the K9 Sensus Foundation’s Detection Dog Trainer program, a comprehensive mentorship rooted in evidence based detection work and real world application. Beyond detection, the program places strong emphasis on learning theory, foundational skills, and developing well rounded canine partners — principles she brings into every training program she creates. Meghan also trains and competes with her own German Shorthaired Pointers in both professional and sport detection, NAVHDA and AKC Hunt Tests, conformation, dock diving, and a variety of other sports. This blend of knowledge and hands on experience informs her warm, encouraging style and helps every team grow with confidence.
