About Smart Paws! Dog Training Jenina Schutter, owner of Smart Paws, developed a passion for animals as a young child where she grew up in a small German village surrounded by horses, sheep, cows, deer, rabbits, hamsters, cats, and dogs. Everyday on her way to school she stopped by each of the dogs to teach them little tricks – shake or kiss – or just to pet them. These dogs were mainly farm dogs, kept to protect property and livestock. Farmers would often call Jenina’s father to warn him about the danger involved with the dogs. His reply was always the same: “I have seen her interacting with these animals and I am not worried about her – she has a special gift!”
