Abbey is originally from Los Angeles, CA, where her passion for animals began at an early age while volunteering at a local dog rescue. She moved to the Midwest to earn her undergraduate degree in Animal Behavior and later completed a graduate degree in Education. Abbey has several years of experience working with dogs of all ages and temperaments, and she enjoys helping owners build positive, confidence-based relationships with their pets through positive-reinforcement training. Abbey lives in Saint Peter with her Corgi–Aussie mix, Penny Lane. In her free time, she enjoys exploring local trails, spending time outdoors (especially in the snow), and finding fun activities to keep Penny active and engaged.
