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!

We love Tiffany and Beyond the Dog! This training has been life changing! Before we started the training program at Beyond the Dog, Rosie struggled with going on walks and would constantly jump on people. Her manners were quite bad. They are so knowledgable and tailor the training to your needs. Now, Rosie is such a great walker, does not jump on people, and has good manners. I wish I started Rosie with them sooner. I highly recommend!! It is so worth it!

Working with Beyond the Dog has been life changing for our family. Our little girl has struggled with anxiety her whole life, particularly outdoors and away from the home, and with strangers. After years of not being able to take her on walks, dreading outings, etc. we decided to seek help through Beyond the Dog, a recommendation from our veterinarian. We enrolled in their all inclusive training and our trainer, Erin, exceeded expectations. Our girl is now much more calm and we have much better coping mechanisms when scary things arise outside. She's a totally different dog outside on walks now! Erin also helped us with guest manners. She is also a much better dog when we have guests over, no longer charging them and barking at them when they enter the house. Our dog also warmed up very quickly to Erin, which is not the norm with strangers. Erin is one of her favorite people now! Thank you so much to Erin for all she's done to help our girl! I highly recommend Beyond the Dog if you're considering training for your pup. You will not regret it!

This training has been life changing for us. We signed up as expecting parents to have our pup ready to be a big sister and the result has exceeded our expectations. I thought our dog was too stubborn to be trained but she went from being a reactive and anxious ball of energy to becoming a calm and much more lovable dog. We are currently camping with family and everyone is amazed with how different she is now. Thank you Erin for your patience with our fur baby!

We have been incredibly happy with Tiffany and she has been an amazing and patient trainer for our dogs. We have been working with Tiffany for nearly two years. She trained our first puppy Saddie (girl) so well that we decided to add a second puppy to our family a year later whose name is Milo (boy). Milo didn’t listen as well as Sadie (it took a little longer for him to catch on!) but she was so patient with him (and us!). Tiffany helped us navigate our electric fence training seamlessly and offered guidance when the puppy didn’t quite care about the electric fence. They are both such great and well behaved dogs and love playing with our children - that peace of mind is priceless. Tiffany is basically extended family now and we could not imagine our lives without her help and guidance!!
