🌟 Five-Star Review for Sheyenne at Beyond the Dog 🌟 Working with Sheyenne has been an absolute game-changer for me and my French Bulldog, Teddy. After trying two other trainers, I was beginning to feel defeated—until Sheyenne stepped in with her deep expertise, genuine compassion, and a training approach that finally made sense. From day one, Sheyenne showed that she truly cared about Teddy’s success. She didn’t just see a reactive dog—she saw a sensitive pup with specific triggers and the potential to thrive. Her ability to understand Teddy’s behavior and guide him through healthier coping strategies was nothing short of remarkable. Thanks to Sheyenne, Teddy has transformed into a calm, confident dog who can control his impulses. Our walks, which used to be stressful and unpredictable, are now peaceful and enjoyable. But the magic didn’t stop with Teddy—Sheyenne also trained me. She gave me the tools, knowledge, and confidence to support Teddy long-term, and that empowerment has made all the difference. What sets Sheyenne apart is her refusal to use fear or intimidation. Instead, she built trust, used positive reinforcement, and tailored her methods to Teddy’s unique needs. Her approach was thoughtful, respectful, and incredibly effective. If you're looking for a trainer who blends professionalism with heart, and who will treat your dog like the individual they are, Sheyenne is the one. Teddy and I are living proof that with the right guidance, transformation is possible. 🐾💛

We were at our wits end with our 7 month extremely active Weimeraner puppy- not sleeping at night, not obeying commands learned at other out of home training courses and chewing through the house. Sheyenne restored normalcy to our household which includes an older weim. Within the the first few weeks our pup learned to walk outside without pulling, not bolt through doorways, not swallow everything in sigh nor pounce/jump on anyone walking through the door. Sheyenne was amazing, strict when needed and loving with our pup. She earned his trust and he looked forward to his sessions. A god portion of her time was spent training us and analyzing our behaviors and home situation that were causing some of the issues. Can’t recommend her or the training methodology they use enough!

I cannot say enough good things about the work Shyenne did with Kirby and Reggie. Kirby is 14 and Reggie is 4. Kirby was reactive and resource guarding in the house and Reggie had food reactivity and fence line reactivity that had redirected onto Kirby more than once. The results: The work we did with Kirby helped immensely with her relationship with my wife. Kirby used to bark constantly when my wife would walk into a room where I was sitting with Kirby. After working with Shyenne, Kirby doesn’t bark but often even greets my wife with a wagging tail when she walks into a room. The biggest improvement we saw in Reggie was his leash walking and his fence line work. He has a very high prey drive and would react to other dogs on walks. He now walks patiently and gently by our sides and completely ignores other dogs and maintains his obedience in the presence of small animals. Within the bounds of our fence and along the fenceline, Reggie is a completely different dog relative to when Shyenne started training him. As soon as he sees a distraction, like another dog walking, he comes to me instead of reacting loudly and sometimes aggressively at the fence. I no longer worry about other dogs passing when I take Reggie in the front yard to go to the bathroom. I also think that Reggie and Kirby‘s relationship has gotten much better. The methods: Shyenne was really great to work with overall. Both of my dogs absolutely loved her and would stare at the door after she left. She was patient and always insured they were safe in all of the training. I had been worried before starting the training since Reggie had bitten Kirby before, but Shyenne and Dr. Savage always put the dogs’ safety first. Shyenne was very approachable and comfortable to talk to from day one. She always answered all my questions and sent very thorough notes that she went over before and after each lesson. I have worked with a lot of dog trainers and the thing that stood out the most with Shyenne and Dr. Savage is that they worked to find solutions that fit our life. They did not come in with a close minded view of how our house was going to operate. They realized that Kirby was older and her training was going to look different than Reggie’s. Whenever we set a new boundary for the dogs, Shyenne always asked if it was something that I thought would be possible for us. This is not one size fits all dog training. This is thoughtful, considerate relationship improvement between us and our dogs. All four of us are going to miss Shyenne‘s daily visits, but we are so excited to live a more balanced life with more freedom for the dogs now that they can walk and be around other dogs without reacting. I can’t recommend Shyenne and Beyond The Dog enough and will absolutely be using them with any future dogs that we have. Thank you so much Shyenne and Kirby and Reggie are definitely going to miss hanging out with you on a regular basis!!
