Megan Bailey
Owner/Trainer
Described as “incredibly patient” and “thorough” by her peers, Meg made her way into the world of behavior modification by training and caring for nationally ranked sport horses. After her time in the professional equine industry, she started her own canine training company, K9 Connect, where she uses her talent for non-verbal communication to help owners connect with their pets. Megan has always enjoyed the bonds formed between animals and people, despite the language barrier.
An AKC certified evaluator and professional member of the APDT, Megan also specializes in solving canine social disorders such as fear and aggression. She is also an advocate for dryland mushing and continues to encourage the sport in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Meg believes that progress begins with a kind heart, patient spirit, and determination.
