Beyond the Dog - Dallas

We brought a new Bernedoodle puppy, Rosie, into our lives knowing our family needed something special. She turned out to be exactly what we hoped for, but also presented us with some challenges. Rosie is filled with so much love but also so much anxiety! When we reached out to Beyond the Dog for help, we knew we needed guidance, but we had no idea the impact it would have on all of us. Megan, our trainer, was truly incredible. Rosie’s biting, jumping, chewing, and other puppy behaviors improved tremendously through her training. But the greatest transformation we’ve seen has been in Rosie’s anxiety and reactivity. Megan didn’t just train Rosie, she challenged both of us. She encouraged us to visit parks, stores, and other social settings, helping to build Rosie’s confidence as well as my own. She guided us through crate training so we could leave the house without accidents or constant worry. Just a few weekends ago, we were able to attend our sons’ piano recital for four hours, which is something we once thought was impossible. Now we can confidently leave Rosie in her crate to attend our boys’ practices, games, and other outings. Megan has given our family a sense of freedom and for that we are forever grateful. While we will miss our weekly sessions with her, we know she has equipped us with the tools we need to move forward. The Beyond the Dog program is truly amazing, and Megan is the absolute best! We can’t thank her enough for everything she’s done for Rosie and our entire family!

We could not have higher praise for Megan and Beyond the Dog. Before the training started, Megan told us that she would have our dog walking down busy trails like the Katy Trail within 5 weeks. We didn’t believe that was possible because our dog was so reactive around other dogs, people, etc. Megan completely transformed our dog. He is so much calmer than he was before, and we can now take him places we never thought we could. Cannot recommend Megan and Beyond the Dog enough!!

Megan is nothing short of a lifesaver. Our pup, Katy, was on the streets for about 3 months before we were able to trap her and bring her home (no clue what her first 3ish years looked like). She was terrified, skittish, shut down/withdrawn, and zero in confidence. Before we started with Megan, Katy’s world was so small, and we were at a loss, our other trainer was at a loss, and all we wanted was to give Katy the life she hadn’t yet had. Megan gave her all that and more. She’s no longer terrified of leashes, the outside, or our apartment. Just a week into our sessions with Megan, she started wagging her tail. She’s now so confident on walks, exploring the apartment, and has started showing her silly personality. I credit Megan entirely - we obviously followed her advice outside of sessions to a T, but she so thoughtfully curated how to work with our pup, and drove so much progress in her sessions with Katy. Megan is brilliant in her work, and I trust her wholeheartedly. I can’t thank or recommend her enough!!!!

I cannot recommend Beyond the Dog highly enough. This is truly a top-tier dog training and behavior modification service that has delivered genuine, life-changing results. If you are looking for professional dog trainers with unparalleled expertise in addressing complex behavioral issues, look no further. Our dog, Eos, struggled intensely with skittishness and high-level anxiety around busy environments. Before working with Megan, her training felt like an uphill battle, and we were struggling to help her build confidence. The training program was exceptional. The approach was perfect for positive reinforcement and was highly customized to Eos's specific needs and our lifestyle. Megan was patient, deeply knowledgeable, and masters at communicating not just what to do, but why the techniques work. The transformation in Eos's confidence was beyond our expectations. She is significantly less reactive, her overall skittish behavior has vastly improved- she is now able to enjoy walks and new experiences that were previously impossible. This improvement is a direct result of the invaluable guidance we received from Megan & Beyond the Dog. We are incredibly grateful for training. For anyone seeking the best dog trainers who focus on long-term behavioral health and positive outcomes, Beyond the Dog deserves your highest recommendation. Thank you for giving Eos, and us, a more comfortable, confident life! ❤️
