🐶 Meet the Human Behind the Monsters

About Renee Linton – Founder of NayNays Puppers

Hi, I’m Renee (a.k.a. NayNay) — dog trainer, cookie baker, and the proud creator of NayNays Puppers. But more than that, I’m someone who has always believed that dogs are more than just animals — they’re teachers, companions, and tiny furry hurricanes of joy, mischief, and love.

My journey into the dog world wasn’t just a career choice. It was a calling.
I’ve spent years studying dog behavior, training techniques, and what it really means to build a strong, lasting bond between dogs and their humans. I’ve seen the struggles — the barking, the biting, the confusion, the guilt — and I’ve walked beside countless families as we worked through it, together.

Why I Do This

Because I’ve been there.

I’ve stood in your shoes, wondering if I was “doing it right.” I’ve felt the frustration of a pup who just won’t listen — and the pure magic of the moment when they finally do. I’ve laughed at zoomies, cried over breakthroughs, and built a business that combines everything I love into one place:
Training dogs. Helping people. And baking cookies that bring tails to full-speed wag.

What I Believe

  • Every dog is unique, and deserves training that respects who they are.

  • Every human deserves support, without judgment or overwhelm.

  • Learning should be fun, for both ends of the leash.

  • And most importantly? Love, consistency, and a monster cookie can go a long way.

When I’m not working with pups or making mayhem in the kitchen, you’ll find me studying new training techniques, crafting helpful resources, and dreaming up more ways to bring joy to dogs and their people.

Thanks for being here. I can’t wait to meet you — and your monster pup.

With love,
Nay Nay 🐾
