“She is AMAZING! She takes the time to explain why the pupper is acting the way they are. Then she explains why we train the way she does. I love the fact that she’s helped me retrain 2 of my fur babies. I couldn’t be a dog owner if she wasn’t around. She is very positive, helpful, informative and a great personality especially towards the puppers. I wouldn’t want to go to another trainer after everything she has helped me with.” – Britney and Spike

“I am so grateful to have found Sam and Beyond Dog. My dog, Lucy, can be nervous/reactive and is high energy, so she needs very purposeful exercise and help working through life’s scary situations. I use force-free, positive methods to train her, and I was stuck to find a dog walker who was trained in these methods in my area. I found out about Beyond Dog, and I am so happy I did! When Sam came to meet my dog for the first time, she spent 30 minutes slowly getting to know her and making friends. She came for a walk with us to see where Lucy needed a little extra help, and offered great advice to me. She now walks her twice a week, and sends a long report and photos each time, telling me how the walk went and any interesting things that happened. I’ve also had Sam stay overnight with Lucy, and I couldn’t be happier with how that went. She was responsive to my “nervous mom” check ins, left a detailed report after she left about how the night went, including feeding and walking info and general comments. Lucy didn’t seem stressed at all when I returned home, which indicated to me that she felt very comfortable with Sam. Sam is also very responsive to any training questions I might have, and her care for the animals is obvious. Lucy and I are both very lucky to have Sam in our lives!” – Rachel and Lucy
