My Story
She rescued her first dog, Beasley, in 2014 at a local Pennsylvania rescue after leaving a bustling career with a corporate job. Her passion for spending time with Beasley and her interest in dog training grew like wildfire. Not too long after she entered the intern program and became a trainer at BFF Pet Services.
Today she owns four dogs, cumulatively named The Joy Crew, and has become an internationally recognized dog trainer with several award-winning titles:
-
2018 National Stunt Dog Champion
-
2021 International Trick Dog Champion
-
Trainer of the Youngest Champion Trick Dog in the world (9 weeks old)
-
Trainer of the Second Youngest Champion Trick Dog in the world. (12 weeks)
The Joy Crew has also starred in many feature films, nationwide commercials, TV shows, and more. You may have even caught them on America’s Got Talent! Today she hosts two shows, “The DogMoms” and “FarmGirl” as well as “The DogMoms” Podcast on iHeartRadio, Spotify, and iTunes.
