Debra has been with NVA since we built our facility in 2002. She also provides dog training services to our clients and patients. As our Senior Clinic Manager, Debra is responsible for all of the day-to-day activities that take place at the clinic. Inventory management is a large part of Debra’s day. She ensures that all of the clinic's needs are met in regard to retail items, medications, pet foods, and prescription diets. She also oversees the maintenance of the facility. Her top priority is to ensure an excellent experience for our clients and patients.
As a dog trainer with 35+ years of experience, she continues to pursue continuing education seminars so she can remain at the cutting edge of an ever-changing scientific discipline. She has raised and trained Golden Retrievers, an English Cocker Spaniel, a Papillion, two Chinese Cresteds, and a Wirehaired Pointing Griffon. She uses her knowledge to compete in American Kennel Club (AKC) events such as conformation, obedience, tracking, and scent work. Debra enjoys frequent trips with her furry friends to dog events. Debra and her dogs have achieved many Champion Titles including an AKC/Canadian Champion Golden Retriever, a Canadian Champion Papillion, an AKC Grand Champion Chinese Crested, and many scent work titles including a Masters Scent Work title with Mork, the Wirehaired griffon [citation][3].
