Hi! I’m Abby! I am originally from Winston-Salem, NC and moved to Charlotte in 2018. Dogs have been a lifelong passion of mine and I am so grateful to have a career doing what I love. I have spent over seven years working with dogs of all ages and breeds in various areas of the pet care industry. Aside from working with dogs professionally, I have raised two of my own from 8 weeks old, a golden retriever named Bagel & a german shepherd named Draco. Draco has crossed the rainbow bridge but dedicated his last two years of life passing down all his wisdom to our students. Bagel still joins me to help socialize the students every day as my proud assistant. 

​

I started working with Puppy Preparatory in 2021 assisting with training and day-to-day operations. I have now stepped into a new role as assistant principal to not only continue working with the students but to also help ensure puppies and their families have the best possible experience.
