Auntie Abbey - Owner & Operator
I grew up in rural Ontario spending every moment possible outside with our Australian Shepherd Angus and my horse for over a decade, Marko. When I moved to Montreal I had plans of applying to veterinary school after studying at McGill. I ended up completing a BSc in Biodiversity and Conservation and was lucky enough to spend my final semester at the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand. After a year living and working on organic farms in Ontario, I then completed a postgraduate certificate in Ecosystem Restoration at Niagara College.
When I finished my studies, I decided to move to Whistler just for a season. I was working as a restaurant manager and caring for dogs in my spare time through Rover when covid hit. That was when I decided to follow my true passion for working with animals and started Doggy Tales Whistler in 2020. My mission is to enhance the lives of dogs and their families by empowering people with the knowledge and skills to form a relationship based on trust and understanding. I'm excited to be studying in the KPA Certified Trainer program and the prospect of making a bigger difference in the lives of people and their pets!
