Chrissy Joy & The Joy Crew

It’s officially here… The Joy Crew Patreon is LIVE. ✨ For a long time, you’ve seen the polished performances, the big tricks, the highlight moments. But what you haven’t seen is the quiet mornings. The training room breakthroughs. The messy in-between. The doubts. The growth. The real, daily life behind building this world with my dogs. I created Patreon because I want a space that feels closer. More connected. A place where we can: 🤍 Find joy in the everyday. 🐾 Step inside real training room sessions. 🎬 See behind the scenes of dog actors & performances. 🌱 Talk about confidence, mindset, and building a life you’re proud of with your dogs at your side. ⭐️ Building a community - becoming a part of The Joy Crew - a way of living, leading, and happiness. (🎉🥳 Also exclusive deals, merch, and more before anyone else!) There’s a Free Tier if you just want to come hang out and be part of the community. And for $5/month, you can grab The Backstage Pass 🎟️ That’s where I’ll be sharing the deeper behind-the-scenes moments, extended training sessions, unfiltered life updates, and the things I don’t share anywhere else. If you’ve ever wanted to feel more part of this journey… If you believe dogs bring out the best in us… If you want more joy in your everyday life… Come join the crew. 🤍 Link is in my bio. Let’s build this together. 🤝 #dogtraining #dogtrainer #behindthescenes #dogtrainingtips #choosejoycrew

Thank you, PEOPLE Magazine | PEOPLE.com 🐾🤩 Great coverage in this article that can be helpful for most pet parents. I think at times, we tend to get hyper fixated on issues our pets may be having and forget to look at the bigger picture. Consider all the things with wide eyes open. Trust me, I’m guilty of it, too! If you want to read the full article, be sure to check out the 🔗 in my bio. Thank you again to @people & @peoplepets for the great interview! 🐶 @thejoycrew 👸 @thechrissyjoy #peoplemagazine #peoplepets #chrissyjoy #thejoycrew #dogmom #dogdad #petparent #dogmomlife🐾 #dogtrainer #lifewithdogs #dogoftheday #dogtrainersofinstagram

If only dogs could talk. 😅 #dogsofinstagram #funnydogs #doglover #dogsofinsta #trick

Believe it or not, this is sometimes our hardest lesson… Relaxing! I have medium-high drive herding breeds who are asked to go from high drive state to stationary/relaxed state in a matter of moments on set, travel, performances, and more. Teaching your dog to just settle in their space is so important for their mental well-being and confidence. Give your dog the best chance to succeed in the beginning and be sure to give them adequate exercise and a chance to let off some steam before trying to settle in new places. Instead of pacing, whining, pushing toys into my lap, or the border collie “stare” - I will reward calmness, neutral behavior, and relaxation. How does your dog relax? #dogtrainer #dogtraining #doglover #dogsofinstagram

Do you ever grieve before you have to? I’m still learning about all these new feelings since Beasley’s episode a few weeks back. It’s all so new, sad, grateful, scary, and longing for time to slow down.

DOGTV did a fantastic spotlight segment on a handful of our breakout products, check it out and let us know what you think! 🐾 #petsport #petindustry #petproducts #pettoys #DOGTV

Every time we step out to perform, it’s about so much more than tricks. 🤍 My dogs and I perform because we genuinely love bringing joy to people. Seeing smiles in the crowd, hearing laughter, and watching people connect through the happiness animals bring is the most rewarding feeling. Sometimes I lose that vision and pressure of live shows can steal away that spark, but I am feeling it again. For us, it’s not about perfection…it’s about sharing something positive together and creating moments people can walk away remembering for a lifetime. Maybe one thing they’ll take away will change their own life, give them courage to follow their passion, or just bring a much needed smile.

This was NOT on my 2026 Bingo Card… Thank you @fetchpetinsurance for keeping me sane through all the vet visits and making the process SIMPLE. I feel cared for, supported, and covered.

I can’t believe this happened as I unboxed this… 📦 🙃 I was about to do a whole unboxing experience, but I captured this right on the fly… and I think it speaks volumes to their beds! @snoozerpets I think you’re appropriately named. 😂 Looks like I’ll need to get a few more for the crew!
