Meet Your Trainer
Meg Hackett

With over 15 years in the pet care industry, Meg brings a wellrounded background to every training session. Her career began in grooming and veterinary care, including three years in a clinic and now with Oakwell Animal Hospital. For the past four years, she has owned and operated an award-winning grooming salon, recognized as Johnson City’s Best Groomer each year.
In recent years, Meg has expanded her focus to dog training, earning an Advanced Canine Training degree, AKC Canine Good Citizen, Trick Dog, and Fetch certifications, along with Fear Free Certification. Her training journey began with her Labrador, Rocky, who inspired her love for dog sports. Together, they gained local recognition when Rocky became the beloved “Bat Dog” for the Johnson City Doughboys, and launching The Rocky Foundation to give back to the Tri-Cities community. Meg has a special passion for dog sports, actively competing with her own dogs—Rocky (Lab), Rita (Belgian Malinois), and Ruben (Chinese Crested Mix).
