What People Say

Ann with Craig Schultz

Ann was recently a guest presenter at the Canine Olfaction and Detection Science Conference in Miami, FL, sponsored by Florida International University. 

This conference was inspired by the text book: Canines: The Original Biosensors 1st Edition by Lauryn E. DeGreeff (Editor), Craig A. Schultz (Editor)

“On a personal note, Ann, it was a tremendous experience working with you on this piece. I walked away from this experience having learned much in the process. Thank you! I am very excited about this chapter. More so that the chapter in which I was the lead author. I think that there is much in this piece to be proud of.”

If I don’t follow my heart, will I have regrets?

That’s such a powerful question. None of us can be guaranteed an easy life or one without risk–no matter how much we may wish for safety and certainty.

And, knowing that, we’re faced with choices that require introspection:

  • What would you like to have happen?
  • And are you brave enough to go for it?

Ann Waterbury, CPDT-KA, UW-AAB, CNWI, CDBC, talks with Colleen Pelar, Resilience for Pet Professionals, about the transformation and living life without regrets. Her story is sure to spark ideas for you and bolster your courage to move forward.
