Linnea Edwards

Linnea began her puppy raising and dog training journey in 2015 as a volunteer puppy raiser for Guide Dogs for the Blind. Over the years, she raised four dogs for the program, three of which successfully graduated as service dogs. In 2020, Linnea joined US Veterans Service Dogs to support a cause close to her heart—her significant other is a three-time combat veteran with the U.S. Marine Corps. She played a key role in launching both the Denver and Colorado Springs training groups, leading training sessions and group outings that help strengthen the working relationship between handlers and their dogs. Passionate about service dog training and the impact it has on lives, Linnea brings a wealth of hands-on experience, leadership, and compassion to her role at Victory Service Dogs. She currently lives on a ranch in Fountain, Colorado, where she enjoys life alongside her horses, goats, dogs, and a cat.
