Deanne McDougall’s first exposure to CPT was back in 1999, when she enrolled her Labrador Retriever, Dallas, in CPT’s group class and board train programs. In 2002, Dallas qualified as a member of the CPT-trained Georgia Force Black and Blue Team. The team of elite dogs fetched the kicking tee during Arena Football League games. Deanne McDougall has since educated 3 additional dogs with CPT- Landry, Paris, and Texas.
Her 26-year experience as a CPT client motivated Deanne to apply for a posted position in the CPT office, after CPT’s Office Manager relocated to Tennessee. CPT was ecstatic to obtain the opportunity to hire Deanne.
Deanne McDougall earned a B.S. in Psychology and an M.S. in Psychology, with a minor in Adult and Adolescent Counseling, from Georgia College & State University. Upon graduating college, Deanne entered the corporate world. Deanne started as a Corporate Trainer. She next lateraled to Human Resources, where she progressed to becoming RaceTrac Petroleum’s Director of Human Resources.
Her subsequent move was a more significant lateral. Deanne left the corporate world to become a full-time mother. Then, in 2024, with her children older, she re-entered the working world by taking a position in the CPT office. Deanne enjoys bringing her dogs to work, engaging with CPT clients and their dogs, and administrating CPT office operations.
