Bobbie Bhambree (CDBC, CPDT-KA) began her career in 2003 as a pet behavior counselor at the ASPCA Animal Behavior Center, where she implemented behavior modification programs for dogs surrendered by the public or seized by Humane Law Enforcement. In 2007, she joined the Humane Society of Westchester, spending the next nine years as their shelter trainer. During her tenure, she created and implemented dog training and enrichment programs, counseled adopters, trained volunteers, participated in community outreach programs, and conducted evaluations.

In 2018, Bobbie joined the Behavior Vets team, where she spent six years with the company, a specialized service that incorporates veterinary behavior support alongside behavior consulting. There, she provided individualized virtual canine behavior consultations globally for both pet guardians and dog sports teams. As the Director of Education, she coordinated educational content for professionals, managed social media, and served as an educator and presenter at dog-centric conferences, seminars, and workshops, both in-person and virtual. She is also a co-creator of the Resilience Rainbow, a framework for resilience-building interventions, and has been interviewed for several podcasts on this subject.

Over the years, Bobbie has successfully competed in agility at various venues with several of her dogs, including Marvel, who placed third in Performance Speed Jumping and Performance Grand Prix at the Mid-Atlantic Regionals in 2019. She has authored several articles for the agility-focused publication Clean Run and is passionate about helping dog sports teams struggling with behavior issues. Bobbie regularly teaches behavior workshops for the dog sports community.

Currently, Bobbie shares her life with three terriers, a Pitbull, a border collie/whippet mix, a border collie/Croatian Sheepdog mix (Ziggy, Marvel, Heady Topper, Eleanor Rigby, Phuncky, and Drazen), and a very supportive husband in southern New Jersey.
