Famous Clients


Babette Haggerty is following in the footsteps of her dad, Captain Haggerty and is busy creating her own impressive list of famous dogs and owners with whom she has trained. While training in Palm Beach, she became known as "Palm Beach's Favorite Dog Trainer". While her list of Palm Beach clientele looks like the social page of the Palm Beach Daily News, some of her more famous clients include:

Jack and Barbara Nicklaus - Babette taught his Golden Retriever Cali, to bark the number of times he won the Masters.

Jimmy and Jane Buffet - Babette taught their Maltese to dance to Margaritaville.

Curt Gowdy - Babette taught his Rottweiler to say, "Go Reds".

Dan and June Rooney - Ambassador to Ireland and Owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Senator Lautenberg and Bonnie Englebardt



Training famous owner's dogs does not make us better dog trainers but Captain Haggerty has probably trained more famous people and their dogs than any other dog trainer. The following clip is from Movieline magazine. However, a complete list is much more comprehensive. It is available upon request.
