“We had the privilege of training with Lindsey of the past 5 weeks. We were seeking help with two problem behaviors for our dog Elvira – resource guarding and touch sensitivity. Over the first few weeks, Lindsey taught us how to shape both of these behaviors into something more manageable for Elvira and for us. These changes have resulted in her resource guarding occurs significantly less and when it does, is less intense. Importantly, we have a plan on how to decrease and respond to this behavior. We’ve continued to see positive changes post training.

The training provided is behaviorally oriented and provided concrete, specific strategies that fostered the long-term changes we were looking for. Lindsey and Beyond the Dog are committed to high-quality strategies and interventions, and they did an excellent job monitoring the effectiveness of each approach throughout our training. This reflects not only Lindsey’s skills as a trainer, but also the values and integrity of Beyond the Dog–demonstrating that the training was taken seriously and that they are dedicated to meaningful change in Elvira’s behavior.

Last but definitely not least, Lindsey is personable, funny, communicative and enjoyable to work with. It was an absolute pleasure to see her every day. Elvira just loves her too!”

“Beyond the Dog is beyond 5 Star! I was referred to them by a friend and was continually blown away at how impactful the training was. Ben is superb. He worked so effectively and beautifully with our 2yr old Welsh Terrier. The sessions are in the home and in real life situations, so everything taught is extremely relevant and in bite sized chunks. The exercises are not overwhelming and easily transferable to the dog owner(s). I could not be more pleased with the swift results. We value Ben and will be in touch! The 5 weeks went too quickly! Thank you so much for the white glove service and attention to detail. Hats off (and tails wagging) to Beyond the Dog!”

“I am thrilled to share my experience with Lindsey, who recently worked with my dog, Theo. Theo has already been a sensitive soul but was badly abused as a puppy before I rescued him. He became prone to reactivity and nervousness, which made everyday situations a challenge. Finding the right trainer felt crucial, and I couldn’t be more grateful that I chose Lindsey.

From our very first session, Lindsey demonstrated a deep understanding of Theo’s issues and an incredible level of empathy. Her approach was not only professional but also filled with compassion, addressing Theo’s anxiety with patience and care. Lindsey developed a customized training plan that targeted Theo’s reactivity and helped him build confidence in a variety of situations.

Lindsey’s methods are grounded in positive reinforcement, and it was clear that she genuinely cares about Theo’s well-being. She provided me with practical tools and techniques to help Theo more secure and manageable in various situations. The progress Theo has made is nothing short of remarkable. He’s noticeably more relaxed and confident, and our walks are no longer a source of stress.

What stood out most about Lindsey was her dedication to not just train Theo, but also empowering me as his owner. She took the time to educate me on the principles behind the training, ensuring I felt confident in continuing the work from home. Her support didn’t end with the sessions; she was always available for follow-up questions and encouragement.

If you are looking for a dog trainer who is knowledgable, empathetic, and genuinely passionate about helping dogs and their owners, I highly recommend Lindsey. She has transformed my experience with Theo and has given me the tools to maintain his progress moving forward. I am incredible grateful for her help and the new, more positive experiences I can now share with Theo. Thank you, Lindsey, for your dedication and for giving Theo and I the tools to succeed!”
