A Unique Background
Roseanna was raised at a wildlife animal shelter, specializing in rescuing and rehabilitating injured and orphan birds of prey. Her first paid full time employment was at Al Oeming's Polar Park, a large zoo that was home to 13 Cheetahs, 30 Timber wolves, Grizzly & Polar Bears and so many much more! Gaining experience in the Pet Industry, Roseanna worked in Groom Shops, Pet Stores, Doggie Daycare, as well as with Animal Control, before re-locating to Vegreville in 2013. Roseanna owned and operated a Doggie Daycare, Grooming and Training Center in St. Albert which provided grooming, daycare and training services for up to 70 dogs a day. She has taught hundreds of hours of private training, group classes and seminars on the topics of Obedience, Rally-O, Tracking, Sporting Detection, Agility, and Dog Bite Prevention. Forever a student of animal behaviour and training, Roseanna keeps learning by attending regular educational opportunities to learn from the best in the industry.
