Testimonials
“We just wanted to let you know how pleased we are with your training method Sean! With your help, our Frenchies now are quite confident that we can take them anywhere. And we do! They go with us to the beach, short trips, and even into many businesses that previously would not allow dogs. People are always commenting on how well-trained our dogs are and we always take that opportunity to sing your praises… and for that we THANK YOU!”

“I cannot say enough great things about Beyond the Dog! From the very first consultation, their professionalism, knowledge, and genuine love for dogs was clear. They took the time to understand my dog’s unique personality and behavioral challenges, and developed a customized training plan that delivered real results.”

“My wife and I were so impressed with the results from Beyond the Dog–Tampa. My dog used to jump on everyone that walked through the door, and nothing I tried seemed work–until now. The trainers were patient, professional and clearly knew exactly what they were doing. After just a few sessions, I noticed a huge improvement. My dog is now calm, responsive, and well behaved. I highly recommend them to anyone struggling with the same issues!”
