TRAINING COORDINATOR
CHARLOTTE
Charlotte has been involved with ABR since 2012. Charlotte owns a local dog training company and has been training dogs in the Calgary area since 2003 and working with dogs since 1999. She has been certified by Animal Behaviour and Training Associates Inc. (2006) and completed Petsmart’s Training Instructor course (2003). In 2006, she completed a BSc in Primatology (the study of primates and primate behaviour!) and a minor in Psychology, an experience that allowed her to travel to Ghana, West Africa, to study the interactions of local primate and human populations. In 2014, she will complete her Bachelor of Education, a program that has helped her improve the way she works with her human clients. She spent seven years working for the Calgary Humane Society and has a passion for working with rescue dogs. Charlotte adopted the only non-bully dog to ever come through ABR – Aspen the Doberman.
