What is a Shieldmaiden?

 

Historically, a shieldmaiden was a woman who fought alongside men in battle, particularly in Viking culture. These fierce, independent women were skilled in combat and often took up arms to protect their homes and people. Shieldmaidens symbolize strength, courage, and resilience, embodying the spirit of women who stand firm in the face of adversity.

​

In modern times, to be a shieldmaiden is to embrace these values of strength, independence, and empowerment. It means stepping into your power, standing strong for yourself and others, and forging your own path with confidence. For dog owners, being a shieldmaiden reflects the dedication to leading, protecting, and nurturing the bond between you and your canine companion.

​

Shieldmaiden K9 takes this concept and brings it into the realm of dog training, encouraging women to tap into their inner shieldmaiden. By becoming a leader for their dog, women not only transform their relationship with their pet but also build their own confidence and resilience—qualities that extend far beyond the training field.

Whether you're handling a rambunctious puppy or a more challenging rescue, Shieldmaiden K9 equips you with the skills and mindset to create the harmonious relationship you’ve always dreamed of.
