Brittany has had a passion for all animals ever since she was a young girl. She’s had the pleasure of growing up with dogs, cats, and horses and had grown a desire to work with animals for a profession. Since she knew she wanted a career involving animals, she decided to attend Bristol County Agricultural High School where she graduated with a degree in small and large animal sciences. She gained knowledge involving everything from husbandry to medical care of farm and small animals and even veterinary assisting. After graduating high school, she began her career as a veterinary technician in a small animal veterinary hospital. Over the next 5 years she acquired extensive knowledge in medical care of dogs; assisting doctors with everything from routine exams to intensive surgeries. While she thoroughly enjoyed the small animal medical field and teaching pet owners about canine health care, she knew she had a greater interest in animal behavior and was ready to explore. In 2009 she started working for K9 Instincts where she started training dogs with Matt Betts. In addition to managing the kennel, Brittany is now one of the top dog trainers experienced in puppy managing, behavior modification and police canines. She also assists with K9 Instinct’s breeding program and the nurturing and raising of puppies.
Brittany’s natural ability to read and understand animal behavior, along with the experience she has had working with Matt and a variety of dogs, clients and scenarios, has made her successful in this profession.
Brittany has also spent her life training horses and teaching riding lessons to others. Her passion is barrel racing where you can catch her at shows along the east coast throughout the summer!
