I found Beyond the Dog to help with my 2 cats who did not get along. I was willing to try anything that would help these 2 to coexist together since surrendering a cat was not an option for me. Megan worked with my cats for three weeks and I have seen a drastic change. She taught me different techniques to use when working with them together. I was so sure that my Bengal was not able to be trained but I have definitely seen a change in behavior for him. The constant attacking of my kitten has really improved, and he is starting to stop himself from going after her all the time. Granted they are not best friends, but I recognize that this is going to take a lot of time and practice on my end. I do think in the future they can develop a friendship! I truly appreciate Megan for helping my situation!

My Beckham is a 75lb Bernedoodle that had dog reactivity issues during walks and tons of jumping on guests when greeting them - not exactly fun to manage as a petite woman.. or at all! Megan worked with us for four weeks to address those behavioral problems and the results are remarkable! She is flexible in her training techniques and suggests different approaches if one thing is not working, so her adaptability made the program feel very tailored to my pup. She worked with us for four weeks, three days a week - two with only him, and one with me and him together. I continue to work with him daily using all the techniques Megan taught me and my dog keeps showing improvement! We are able to go on relaxing walks, to the vet, and other public places, and I feel like I have full control of him which is so crucial for me since he is a large pup. And now I constantly receive comments from strangers on how well behaved he is! I highly recommend Beyond the Dog, and especially if you and your dog get to work with Megan.

Megan was amazing. Elli, my labradoodle, is an angel now. A month ago Elli was uncontrollable, now she is very well behaved! Megan not only trained Elli but me. She was always punctual, polite, patient and respectful.
