We had the best experience with Beyond the Dog and our trainer, Lindsey! Astro, my 8 month old shepard/husky mix, needed help with reactivity towards strangers and cars, leash walking skills, and getting comfortable with car rides so he was enrolled in the all inclusive training program. Lindsey worked so much better with Astro than I could ever hope for. With Lindsey’s guidance Astro almost completely stopped reacting towards bystanders sharing the same sidewalk, was able to go on walks during busy traffic hours without fear, and his hesitation towards car rides has greatly reduced! He freely enters the car as soon as the door opens as opposed to resisting with even muscle in his body. I loved seeing how much Astro enjoyed the training sessions and how he was excited to see Lindsey every time. He had this visible change in excitement with uncontrollable tail wags and bunny hops when he would see her. Lindsey was able to work on specific behaviors that transformed Astro into a more confident and attentive pup! I also appreciated how she would send me photo updates during the training sessions. Best of all, Lindsey was more than accommodating to my ever fluctuating schedule when it came to follow up sessions. She always reminded me that she is just one text away for any questions or concerns and that support and commitment to Astro is unmatched!! He also loves his custom bandanas. Thank you, Lindsey!! :) Looking forward to using Beyond the Dog again for future maintenance!
