Beyond the Dog

Erin is absolutely amazing and definitely more than 5 stars! She is a kind, caring, thoughtful person. We are first time dog/puppy owners with a really hard puppy and so much to learn. Erin took time to connect with our family, answer all our questions, and learn about all the things going wrong. Our lab puppy was 7 months old when Erin came to work with us. He had no house manners and was biting our family. While we were assured this was play biting, it was not sustainable. Erin spent time teaching our puppy manners and teaching us how to interact with him and continue the work. His biting was a tough one, and he didn’t want to give it up! Erin stuck with us and our puppy, and he longer bites. He is a pretty gentle dog with much improved house manners which we had just about given up on as a possibility. Our kids have the dog they were hoping for, and we have skills and support to continue teaching him. We are so grateful!

If I could give more than 5 stars I would! We have been working with Erin at Beyond the Dog and it has made the difficulty of training a new (and energetic) pup so much easier and fun! Not only does Erin treat our pup with love and discipline, she always takes the time to explain what's going on and answer all of our questions- including some extra tips and tricks for our pup outside of the regular training schedule that have been helpful, recommending different toys and treats. Outside of helping with our fluffy family member Erin also works really well with children, helping them understand the training and what we're doing. I cannot recommend Erin enough - in fact, we've already gone ahead and booked some additional maintenance sessions!

We got our rottweiler/lab mix from KC Pet Project. He had some behavioral issues. After checking out several places, we chose Beyond the Dog and I'm so glad we did. Erin has worked with Fumble and has gotten some amazing results. Erin is super patient, very knowledgeable and great to work with - both with the dog and scheduling wise. It's been a bit of a challenge with the weather this winter. Erin has had to get inventive with some of the training scenarios. But she always figures it out and gets the best results from Fumble. I highly recommend Being the Dog, especially Erin. The office staff is also very nice and helpful!

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!

Erin is a fantastic trainer! I highly recommend her for any of your canine needs. She catered to our specific needs during the training process. Our puppy is rather rambunctious and she worked on his interaction with our cat and even helped with teaching our older dog some new tricks! This was all on top of the basic dog manners she taught our puppy. Our puppy was so thrilled every time Erin came over and she left us with a lot of confidence to keep up with his training when she wasn’t there. If you are thinking of getting a dog trainer, I highly recommend Erin and Beyond the Dog!
