Melissa Bynum

Owner, Communications Czar and Minister of Furry Creatures

I have been in full time servitude to the dogs and cats of Brooklyn since 2007.  I've also been a project manager and account executive for a large advertising agency, bookkeeper, desktop publisher, stand up comic, actress, sketch comedian, and for a short while, an absolutely terrible paralegal. I’ve donned a green apron and steamed milk for coffee addicts, followed stock brokers around trading room floors and I’ve written and produced for a reality dating television show set on a boat. I know enough about a lot of things to be very aware that I have the greatest job ever and I work with the best humans on the planet.

​

Facing many training and health challenges from my own pets and their friends over the years, it’s very rewarding to make a difference in the lives of other pet owners from my experiences. I have had the joy of assisting many pet parents with welcoming and training puppies as well the solemn privilege of helping them through the heartbreaking end of life.

​

I'm currently working towards certification from the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers. I’d love to talk with you about your expectations for your dog and a plan to establish positive behaviors and habits.  Please feel free to contact me at 347-274-5108 or melissa@petletariat.com.
