Adrienne recently took the Animal Training and Care course at Unity College with Professor Bonnie Gulas-Wroblewski.
"Before attending Unity College, I was the District Manager of Canine Education for a national pet services chain. I launched puppy, adult dog, tricks, and Canine Good Citizen classes at 12 locations. I also had my own business as a dog behavior consultant.
I am doing things a little backward and getting the academic credentials for my field after working in the industry for 30 years. I had always planned to get a Master's or Ph. D. in Animal Behavior and apply for certification as an applied animal behaviorist with the Animal Behavior Society. The timing of Unity's online program in animal health and behavior coincided with these goals.
I am earning my B.S. in Animal Health and Behavior. I am hoping that my education will supplement my work experience with academic credentials that will support my goals in the animal behavior field.
I read about Professor Bonnie Gulas-Wroblewski before I registered for the Animal Training and Care course and requested her as an instructor. Her class was filled, however, and I asked to be waitlisted. I was prepared to wait as many semesters as needed to take her class. Fortunately, there was an opening, and I got into her class this past semester. I am so grateful to have had her as a professor. I learned more online than in many traditional classroom situations. Not only was she knowledgeable about animal behavior, but she obviously loves teaching. She engaged with every student on every single discussion post.
In the future, I would love to eventually obtain certification as an applied animal behaviorist with the Animal Behavior Society. I plan to write several books on animal behavior. I would also like to supplement my retirement income with medical and scientific writing."
