I was referred to Beyond the Dog and had an amazing experience with Megan. My Boxer had a mixed bag of problems from being fearful of children and other dogs to barking aggressively at anyone walking by the house. It was becoming stressful to take her outside the house but after the 5 week course, my dog has improved in everything I was concerned about. We can peacefully walk through crowded parks and stores. Megan was always available to answer my questions and provided clear direction and advice to me. She really helped me overcome my own fears and gave me a lot of confidence. It's totally worth the investment and the 1x1 time with Megan was invaluable. I'm recommending Megan to every neighbor and friend! The picture is from Megan and my dog's outing to Klyde Warren!

We had a great experience with Megan from Beyond the Dog! We had two unruly standard poodle puppies and she managed to reel them in so they are enjoyable to walk and be around. Would definitely recommend BTD and will definitely use them in the future for tune-up lessons.

Beyond the dog is the best! Our dogs started running the house during the covid lockdown and before our second child was born, we decided we desperately needed help. Megan is awesome. She loves our dogs and also was really collaborative about finding solutions that worked for us. There was no “you have to do it this way”, if she made a suggestion that didn’t work for us because of our kids/schedules/preferences, she would work to come up with another option that worked for us. Absolutely recommend for anyone with pets, whether you think they are well behaved or not! Thanks, Megan!

Megan and the Beyond the Dog training program do amazing work, and I’m so happy that I found them to help train our recently adopted shelter pup. Our pup had some environmental anxiety issues and was not good at all with leash walking. In 4 short weeks, Megan has completely transformed him into a confident, behaved dog. We can take him anywhere thanks to the work Megan has done with him. Not only was the training great, but the confidence we as owners have gained from the lessons in helping maintain the training is priceless. Dog training is an investment worth making, and with Megan and Beyond the Dog, you can feel confident that you’re getting your money’s worth out of the program.

Megan came to help me potty train my new puppy, Harper, and I can’t even explain how magical her help was! I followed what she said to try and after two days, we started our “accident free” streak! Definitely made for a happier stress free house! She also took the time to work on some obedience with Harper, and every tip she’s given me has been so effective and wonderful! We will definitely be calling Megan back when needed, and for any future puppy additions!
