Our Trainers
Mary Beth Keegan
Mary Beth Keegan ABC certified dog trainer and owner of Keegan’s Dog Training has always had a passion for animals. Mary Beth has had dogs and cats all her life and cared and worked with horses early on. It wasn’t until the adoption of an Irish Wolfhound Terrier mix named Tacoma that changed everything. Mary Beth soon realized he had many behavioral issues and tried several ways to help Tacoma, but nothing seemed to work. So, Mary Beth decided to go to school to learn how she could help Tacoma. Little did Mary Beth know that Tacoma would lead her on a path that would not only be rewarding for them but also for so many other pet owners and their furry friends.” I love my life. I love it because every day is spent helping animals."
