I cannot state enough how indebted my wife and I are to Erin, and the team at Beyond the Dog.Quick Background: 2023 marked the year our pugs randomly decided that they could no longer co-exist; fighting and inflicting wounds on each other if given the opportunity. After months of keeping them separate, trying to work it out on our own, and my wife and I residing on different levels of the house, we raised the white flag and looked to an actual expert...cue, Beyond the Dog.Outcome: Erin met with us a few times a week for multiple months and was able to get the pugs back in the right mindset and bring sanity back to our household. She was so efficient that near the tail end [pun intended] she found time to also work on their responsiveness to strangers both at the park and at retail locations. I will be the first to admit that I was skeptical of how all of this would pan out - especially given the monetary cost that bringing an expert in entails. That said, the harmony restored to our household, coupled with my wife's joy in being able to take group photos again, quickly converted the cost into an investment. Truly, "thank you" to the folks at Beyond the Dog for providing such services to the public, and to Erin for implementing said services in a manner that was above and beyond [another pun intended].Tony & Rachel (w/Jovie, Maple, TJ, and Mason)

We reached out to Beyond the Dog as we were having issues with a temperamental corgi and our other dogs. We had a quick consultation where we picked a package that would be best suited for our situation. Tiffany, our trainer, worked with us and our dogs multiple times a week during the process and the turnaround we've seen has been fantastic. We were constantly stressed before training as the smallest thing could set off a fight and Tiffany and Beyond the Dog did fantastic job in helping us overcome those issues. Would highly recommend them!

Erin V. from Beyond the Dog was a fantastic trainer! I have a couple of energetic boston terriers. She helped with our touch-sensitivity issues, barking at neighbors, pulling on the leash, etc. She approached every challenge with patience, kindness and a bit of tough love. She was a delight. Highly recommend.

Beyond The Dog is a wonderful organization. We have been so so pleased with both the quality of training and the trainer, Tiffany. Our puppy took to their methods with such ease and it's made the world of difference in our home. I highly recommend this program and am continually recommending them to everyone I meet with a dog. :)) ask for Tiffany!!

Beyond the Dog has gone beyond our expectations to provide us with the training tools necessary to manage our new puppy. Tiffany, our trainer, knows just the right techniques to help us mitigate any doggie behavior challenges. We would recommend Beyond the Dog to help make your pup the best companion he or she can be!

I could rave about Beyond the Dog and our trainer Erin all day long!! Our dog, Archie, was attacked by a dog while on a walk, and he was very scared and reactive after that experience. He also barked nonstop when guests enter our home. Erin met with Archie every day for a month, and she taught us so many new skills and strategies to help Archie. Now, he trusts dogs again, can walk by dogs without reacting, and is so much more confident while on walks. Erin also taught us steps to take with Archie when guests come to our house. We went from Archie barking at one guest nonstop to being able to have a group of 15 at our house with minimal to no barking from Archie because of the steps Erin taught us. Overall, Archie is a much more happy and confident dog after his training with Erin. I couldn't recommend Beyond the Dog enough to people!

Erin was amazing!!! Our 3 year old rescue dog was extremely reactive to people coming into our home and leash reactive to other dogs. Erin worked with us step by step to get Molly used to people coming in the home and improve her overall obedience. Erin also incorporated our other dog towards the end of training so that they both knew the rules. Our house is much more peaceful after Erin and the Beyond the Dog All inclusive program.

We cannot say enough good things about Beyond the Dog and our trainer Tiffany. Through the board and train program Tiffany took our timid puppy and turned her into a confident, well-trained dog! Sadie now waits at the stairs when the doorbell rings and follows all commands so well, even with our (sometimes wild) children. If you are looking to train your puppy Tiffany is your gal!

Erin is very professional and always punctual. Provided excellent training tips for us to help shape Penny. We noticed a great improvement in Penny’s demeanor. Our friends and neighbors have also noticed a vast improvement in Penny as well. Penny is still a work in progress. We are definitely taking the training tips to heart as well as for any potential pets. Erin is highly recommended!!! She has a great attitude and gentle with your pet.

When we welcomed a second dog into our home and the first dog became aggressive I was very stressed and knew we needed to call in professionals. We were paired with Tiffany and she was so kind and patient. Our first dog took about a week to warm up to having a stranger in our house, and some adjustments had to be made to the training to make our first dog comfortable, but Tiffany was really accommodating and we found what worked for us. We have continued to do follow ups with Tiffany as we encounter any new issues and it has been great! The dogs now live in harmony and it is such a relief not to have to worry about them getting along. Highly recommend this company and Tiffany!

Erin has been a life saver. She is even in our phones as: Erin, the dog whisperer. We are first time puppy owners and we got super overwhelmed with his wild behavior, jumping and play biting. We couldn’t even co-exist in our house with our puppy and children until Erin came along. She was super professional and kind from the beginning, always explaining everything and being so sweet with our kids and our dog. Her communication was top notch and some of the big behaviors we were worried about were almost gone that first week. She always checked in on us to see how things were going and never made us feel bad or dumb when we weren’t doing something right. I honestly wish she could work with our dog every week because I am really going to miss seeing her! Thanks Erin and Beyond the Dog, we will be forever grateful for a well behaved family dog.

Our trainer, Tiffany, has made a very positive impact on our life with Buster. She helped him learn how to better control himself. And she taught us kind and encouraging, and very effective, ways to reinforce good behavior. And we board him with her when necessary, knowing his training is being reinforced. Beyond the Dog is awesome!

Highly recommend Erin and Beyond the Dog for training! We loved being able to train our puppy (1yr) at our home so that we could focus on things that were unique to our property. We would never have been able to reach this level of training in that amount of time without the expertise of Erin and Beyond the Dog.

I cannot recommend Erin and Beyond the Dog enough! They did an incredible job with our rescue dog Hank and we are so grateful for their hard work and dedication. Before we started working with them, Hank was having issues with people coming up to/into our house, he displayed aggression when meeting new people, and needed some work on his overall obedience and confidence. But after going through the All-Inclusive training plan with Erin, we have noticed such a significant improvement in Hank.Erin was also just absolutely wonderful. She's patient, knowledgeable, and clearly has a passion for helping dogs and their owners. She worked with us to develop a customized training plan that addressed Hank's specific needs and challenges. She has also provided us with ongoing support and guidance throughout the training process, which was invaluable.Now, Hank is a completely different dog! He has much better manners, is less scared around house guests, and honestly is just a joy to be around. Thanks to the training and attention he received from Erin and BTD, our lives have become so much easier and Hank is honestly thriving. If you're looking for a dog training company that truly cares about your dog and their success, look no further than Beyond the Dog!
