"Very positive interaction"

The first time I contacted Beyond the Dog was a very positive interaction. Kristyn took plenty of time to explain all the different programs and how they worked and I talked to Kristyn and Sean a couple of times prior to beginning the all-inclusive training. They were both very prompt at returning phone calls and reassured me that the training would work for Schatzi's reactive behavior towards other dogs and Molly's fear of people and dogs.

"Thorough, professional, and courteous"

I spoke to Sean when I first reached out to BTD. He was very thorough, professional, and courteous. I felt comfortable talking to him and expressing my requests for the training we needed with Luna.

"Correct group to train my dog"

Prior to arranging visits with Beyond the dog, I was very nervous about whether we would be able to keep our rescue and integrate her with our cats and other people. With all my questions and concerns, Sean was very patient and recommended ideas and a program before I even got started. By the time of our first appointment, I felt very confident I had chosen the correct group to train my dog.

“Very informative”

The website was very informative. As a medical professional who does research, I liked that there was education in animal behavior science backing their method. I also was impressed with the blend of experiences and education of the trainers.

“I loved the intensive, in-home training option”

I loved the intensive, in-home training option. My use of a wheelchair made the thought of taking my puppy to an offsite training program when she didn't yet know how to behave on a leash daunting and potentially dangerous for us both. Having the training in my home was much more effective for me.

“So well-behaved now”

She's like a whole new dog. We've loved her from the moment we met her, but she wasn't always enjoyable to be around. But she's worked so hard and is so well-behaved now.

“Worth it”

I was nervous about having someone out to the house. And with the price point I was worried about how it would turn out. But all of it was worth it. I couldn't have asked for a better interaction.

“Incredibly helpful and friendly”

We loved working with Beyond the Dog. They are incredibly helpful and friendly in addition to being a great resource for us. Our lives have been completely changed by this program and everyone in our "pack" is happier and more comfortable due to the results of the training.

“Very Responsive”

The staff was very responsive to my questions.

“Put my fears to rest”

Dr. Savage put my fears to rest and made me feel heard.
