We were looking for training services after adopting our Great Dane, Hank, and wanting to introduce him to our cats without knowing where to start. Beyond the Dog was one of very few training options in the area that offered a program specializing in dog-cat socialization, and we cannot express enough how glad we are to have found them! Erin was an INCREDIBLE trainer. She's patient, knowledgable, kind, and breaks down the weekly training so it feels approachable. Her visits quickly became Hank's favorite part of the week and I could tell he actually enjoyed training and learning new skills. Erin was equally great with our cats, being flexible when our feral cat colony was less than cooperative and still finding ways to get the most out of each session. We're now able to enjoy couch time as a family, which we NEVER would have thought possible. We will miss our visits with Erin, but we feel so supported with the tools and knowledge she equipped us with and know her support is just a text away. We recommend Erin and Beyond the Dog to anyone looking for help getting their dog and cat to coexist, it's worth every penny!
