MEET THE FAM.
NOEL
Red Beard had the good fortune of finding Noel not long after she moved to Greensboro from Charlotte. Noel is a small business veteran who has years of managerial experience at both a dog kennel and coffee shop.
Harty’s main gig is managing our facility and enrichment program, but she is also our Puppy Class instructor!
Noel has two cats (Theo and Merlot), cool house plants and a basement full of cookies!
Vee
Vee joined the gang in the summer of ’24. She has unlimited positive energy, laughs her ass off, chugs Dr. Pepper and works harder than your grandma did in the 40s.
Vee’s son wears a Jason mask and carries around a Chucky doll so she’s clearly a great mom as well.
The rest of Vee’s pack includes her dog Raven and kitties Lydia, Starfire and Robin.
drew
Drew is an Ohio native that once had her ring blessed by the Dalai Lama! Her Doggy Daycare managerial experience made for a smooth transition to Downtown Dog Enrichment.
Despite her ginger denialism, Drew is a valuable member of the enrichment team and is the creator/instructor of our Dog Yoga program.
Drew’s pack includes her dog Weasley and a kitty named Zuko.
Parker
Parker was recruited all the way from Callyforny to play soccer at UNCG. What a break for us!
Parker joined us after graduating in May of ’24 and is currently our Day Training Director and administrative/puppy class assistant.
Parker has been an exemplary employee other than her excessive use of bad language…she said “fricken” at least twice!
Kit
Kit comes to us with years of experience at a local doggy daycare. The dog’s appreciate his calm energy and gentle approach.
Kit has two dogs (Tetsuo and Trill) and enjoys fishing, astrophysics, movies and aliens. Kit also shreds a skateboard and flute.
Connor
Connor is a long time dog veteran, having worked at a local day care and the SPCA before joining us.
Connor is our shift leader, mapping out activities for the dogs, making the staff schedule and overall just working her ass off for these dogs!
Con enjoys sitting comfortably in uncomfortable positions, writing in her serial killer notebook and popping wheelie’s on her bike.
Connor has a Great Dane named Ramona.
BRAD
Brad is the owner/creator of Red Beard Dog Training and Downtown Dog Enrichment.
As a small business owner, Brad does a little bit of everything out of necessity, but his passion is adventure outings with the dogs.
When Brad’s not in the van on Red Beard Road Trips he enjoys playing/watching baseball and spending time in nature.
