About Anthony Woerner, PTA, CCRP
Anthony Woerner has always had a desire to work with animals. He got his start with working
dogs by training sporting dogs in eastern Washington state.
He moved to Utah 18 years ago and
started working in the ski industry as a Ski Patroller. Having developed a strong interest in
working dogs, he helped launch the Deer Valley Avalanche Dog Program. He picked and trained the
first avalanche dog, Whiskey, shown at right in the photo with Anthony.
Whiskey quickly achieved Level A status and went on to work as a team dog for 9 years. As a Ski
Patrol Supervisor and the Avalanche Dog Coordinator, Anthony helped choose and train successive
avalanche dogs in the program. His experience also enabled him to work in conjunction with other
local avalanche dog programs, and he was often utilized as a Wasatch Backcountry Rescue dog
evaluator and tester.
After leaving the ski industry, Anthony decided to enter the Physical Therapy field. He completed his Physical Therapy Assistant degree and began working at MountainTop Physical Therapy where he has been for the last 4 years. During that time, he also focused on learning canine rehabilitation. He attended the University of Tennessee Veterinary School and achieved the Certification of Rehabilitation Practitioner.
Anthony first met Dr. Kim Henneman with his avalanche dog, Whiskey, whom she treated for cancer. Her guidance and treatment helped get Whiskey back out on the snow for several more working years. Now that he has joined the practive at Animal Health Options, Anthony hopes his skills and rehabilitation treatments will help more canines return to top health.
