MEET THE TRAINER: Camille Personne, CCDT, CDBC
I’ve always been drawn to animals and have been surrounded by them since I was born. I started riding horses when I was 5, by age 9 I was rescuing all of the stray kittens in my neighborhood and, now I have my dream job working with dogs every day!
I am a certified dog behavior consultant through the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants (IAABC) and a true behavior geek constantly reading up on new research in neuroscience, psychology, and genetics. I also frequently attend conferences, seminars or webinars to keep up with the most up-to-date effective and humane training techniques.
When I’m not out training dogs, one of my favorite things to do is hike with my dogs and play dog sports like nosework and agility.
