Trainer Abigail attended the Tom Rose School for dog trainers that has been training dog trainers for over 50 years.

She was taught  the skills to train advanced obedience, behavior modification, tracking, service dog, and police K9 work. Since then Abigail has attended seminars for dog trainers to extend their education. Her top seminars she would recommend would be Johnathan Katz or Pat Nolan. 

Once she obtained her two dog trainer certification she attended the University of Arkansas. Where she has done in depth work in animal husbandry, nutrition, animal welfare, enrichment, and genetics. While in college she had the opportunity to travel to New Zealand to put what she had learned so far in college to work.
