Meet Chrissy Joy, Celebrity Dog Trainer & National Stunt Dog Champion, Studio Canine Trainer (commercial/TV/print/film), Educator and Performer.

On the episode, Chrissy talks about how she began her career with a B.S. in Equine Studies – riding and competing horses. Her passion for working with animals only grew. 

Since then, she has become a trainer at BFF Pet Services and a nationally acclaimed dog trainer – winning the 2018 National Stunt Dog Championship and being ranked 2nd for National Dog Trainer of the Year. 

Chrissy is also a Team Leader of the Bone-A-Fied Talent Group. This group is an ever-growing roster and resource of dogs available through highly accredited animal talent agencies. Some of the jobs include Disney, Chewy, Paramount Pictures, NBC, ABC, HBO, Bravo, LIONSGATE, and so much more. 

Chrissy travels nationwide with the Bone-A-Fied Talent Group – teaching workshops and offering demonstrations to inspire other dog trainers and owners to get involved with working their own dogs on set. Many participants have since appeared on film, commercials, TV, and print. 

You may recognize her famous dogs, "The Joy Crew", Beasley, Whidbey, and Darby – as they appear on several nationwide commercials! Chewy, Wawa, PetValu, and more! 

Fun fact: Beasley appeared in the starring role as a spy dog for Agent Toby Barks (2020) by LIONSGATE.
