Raegan - Trainer
Raegan grew up in a small town in northern North Carolina spending most of her time with equine or livestock animals. As an adult she started working as a breeding technician on a hog farm before transitioning to working with domesticated animals as a veterinary assistant. After working with many different breeds of dogs, she became more interested in canine behavior. Raegan has been with Offleash since 2021 and enjoys continuously learning new things from each dog she meets.
She enjoys spending quality time with her 2 kids, horseback riding, and doing anything outdoors.
Denise - Trainer
Denise is a graduate of The University of Georgia with a degree in Fisheries & Wildlife Science where she specialized in animal behavior. She has been working with animals throughout her life as a kennel technician, zookeeper, wildlife biologist and now dog trainer. Denise is passionate about helping owners understand their dogs and become better handlers all around. In her spare time, Denise enjoys reading and “herping,” which is the act of searching for amphibians and reptiles.
Maggie - Trainer
Maggie Faciszewski is a graduate of Clemson University with a degree in Business Management and a minor in Operations Management.
A South Carolina Native, Maggie’s love of animals was discovered from a young age while working at a local horse farm. She has held various animal centered roles including providing K9 care for four pawed friends, and working as a wrangler on a Colorado ranch.
Her love for animals translates to a compassionate and genuine training experience with every dog she handles.
Liberty - Trainer
Born and raised in Mississippi, I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, and they’ve always been my passion. Now, I live on 37 acres in Oxford, NC, with a diverse and growing family of 7 dogs, 1 cat, 3 horses, chickens, ducks, and cattle.
I’ve spent the past decade working as a Veterinary Technician/Nurse, with a focus on animal behavior and wound care. I am Fear Free certified and currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Animal Health and Behavior, which has deepened my commitment to the training field. My true passion lies in helping misunderstood animals, especially those with behavioral challenges. That passion inspired me to establish Sunflower Acres, a rescue dedicated to providing hospice care and behavioral rehabilitation to animals in need.
I’m currently in the process of transitioning Sunflower Acres from an LLC into a nonprofit, with the goal of creating a sanctuary where every animal, no matter how challenging their circumstances, has a chance to live a life of dignity, safety, and love.
