    Loki at PetSmart
    Katie B.

    My 1 year old Maltese Loki was a reactive wild man before we started training with beyond the dog. We could not take him anywhere without him having a constant meltdown. He would bark, growl, pull, and lunge at any other human being/dog. His reactivity made apartment/city living very stressful and almost impossible. We tried a few other well known trainers in the area and saw no results. We even saw a veterinary behaviorist and he failed medication. I was starting to think there was no hope for Loki. After reading reviews I decided to try Beyond the Dog. I wish we had worked with them sooner. Loki is completing their all inclusive program and will be starting their maintenance program. I really like their structured/5 day a week all inclusive training program. I think this really helped set Loki up for success. Loki and I now spend our afternoons walking around busy Hermann Park, something I never thought possible. I can actually enjoy walking him. If you're hesitant on the price, know it is well worth it. Shyenne at Beyond the Dog has helped transform the life we have with Loki! Shyenne is an amazing trainer and my Loki loves her, I highly recommend her.

    Sparky the Dog at home in the back yard

    My wife and I just finished a three week training course for our new 14 month old rescue dog Sparky. We were lucky to get trainer extraordinaire Megan Bender, a genuine expert both in training dogs and, equally important, in training humans to keep dogs trained. Megan quickly got Sparky on the road to being a good dog, and we now know enough to continue with the regimen we learned from Megan to make him the perfect dog. Interestingly, Sparky took a liking to Megan right away. She's a true dog lover, and he seemed to pick up on that, getting super excited when she arrived at our house for a training session. Bottom line: we couldn't be happier, and we'd recommend Beyond the Dog, and Megan Bender, to anyone.

    Thor during his training!

    My fur baby, Thor, was insanely leash reactive! We did the board and train with Megan and I can not speak more highly of her. Megan did an amazing job with Thor and now I can honestly say I walk my dog and he doesn't walk me (it only took 9 years to be able to say that.) It makes me mad at myself that I didn't do this sooner! My boyfriend and I are so impressed with his transformation and it encourages us to keep up all the hard work she put into it. She doesn't know it but she saved our blended family! Thank you for being A business I could count on!

    Our Mini Dachshund Oliver is now calm, social, and classy following Beyond the Dog's all-inclusive program!

    If I could give this place 10 Stars, I would! The results, professionalism, communication, flexibility, understanding, feedback, advice, and the fact that everyone keeps complimenting our dog makes this place worth every penny. I want to make it clear to all potential customers that this place is worth it (Yes, we were initially concerned about the financial investment, but the service received exceeded our expectations)! The difference (in quality) between Beyond the Dog and other places is greater than we expected. I highly recommend the all-inclusive program as life with our dog is much easier than I could have imagined! Thank you Abby, Shyenne, and Madeleine!

    Thank you Abby for teaching me how to be a proper young lady!

    See all

We initially enrolled our puppy at Petsmart but felt that it wasn't enough training and tools for our smart little guy. I love the fact that we always received 1-3ish videos of our puppy's training from that particular day so that we can track his progress! They really care about their reputation and truly care about the dogs and their progress. Thank you again!

    We signed up our baby Luka to puppy-k and we are so grateful for revival dog training. All the…read moretrainers we came across were super friendly and just seemed like they had lots of love for the doggies. We looked forward to the video we'd receive after each day Luka would attend. Every day was something different for Luka to experience and we thought it was really awesome that they took him to a bookstore, had a Pool party, went to the park, play dates with other pups, etc. They let me know off the bat that if their was anything I really wanted them to work on with Luka that they would try their best to assist. They showed me the grooming tools they have laying around just to help dogs get comfortable with them. They helped us introduce Luka to getting his teeth brushed as well as brushing his coat. I really appreciated them suggesting I swing by and take a tour of the facility before signing him up. We got to see where the puppies were kept for "nap time", how they were separated from the bigger dogs, the measures they'd take on hot days to ensure that the dogs stay fresh, etc They were always very responsive and were very understanding when last minute changes came up and we had to reschedule one of Lukas day. Can't say enough about the positive experience with Revival. We were so sad we couldn't continue Lukas training with them considering we moved out of state but very thankful they helped increase Lukas confidence around other pups, different environments, and just learning new things everyday. Thank you Revival! We will miss you! "Woof Woof"-Luka

I saw one cashier hustle to the register because there was one customer waiting. Like just one person and they hustled, that's good customer service. They seemed to have a good inventory of items and there wasn't stuff all over the floor or accidents that dogs had caused. We went in the middle of the week in the middle of the day so there was a good amount of parking. I don't know if I would come here on the weekends because N.

When we were initially introduced to Dogtopia, we met Alejandro…read more Unfortunately he told us to pick up doggies at 12 but that doesnt apply since we took the spa package. However, it's what you do to rebound from that right? So Alejandro saw us and apologized so it doesn't really matter. At the end of the day, our furry children had a good time. They had a blueberry facial, they had bandanas, they also had a lot of exercise and 1:1 time. What I loved-- is how we can check the pet cameras to make sure they are ok! They also did brain games too and they were so tired when we picked them up! Money usually cries in the car but he didn't cry at all on our way back so I could tell that dogtopia did a very great job. Jasmine also explained everything well. The pups also had their nails trimmed too!!!! I loved how they center the dogs around like what group they can be too! Penny and Money were in the medium dog size group for medium energy! Separated from highest energy dogs! That kind of thought is so cute!

My previous appointment after dropping my dog off at 10 am I received a phone call asking if I was still dropping him off HOUR after he was already dropped off. Even though they offered to do absolutely nothing for taking up my entire day, I tried to be understanding and I get people make mistakes, continued to come back again. I drop my dog off at 10 am for an appointment 6/6 I made weeks in advance, they confirm my appointment the day before as well, at 2PM IN THE AFTERNOON I'm informed there's no groomer there, never was a groomer down on the schedule at all. The best they could give me is "sorry you can come back tomorrow or another day and we can TRY and make sure someone is there" Oh not to mention every time I go it's always a different price with no explanation. As someone that's been with you for 5 years, never no showed, not payed or caused any fuss this customer service was extremely disappointing.

    PLEASE READ. My dog and I worked with Trey and Beth for a…read morecomplete month, paid them 2,000 USD to "train" my dog and they DIDN'T deliver any results. The first day we met them I took Toro for an evaluation, I explained my main concerns about Toro's behavior, Trey worked with the leash for 45 minutes (nothing crazy, any other dog trainer could have done it too) and they convinced me they could "fix" Toro's behavior. They created a whole work plan, I was so excited, this guy Trey should be on sales because I totally fell for everything he said. Toro stayed at their house FOR exactly a MONTH. The main plan was that Toro was going to stay with them for two weeks and then he was going to come back home to see his behavior and then he was going to go back with Trey for the needed touch ups, they also promised me to keep me updated with daily videos, I received 4 videos from them, on one it's just Trey walking Toro in a grocery store and the others are Toro in his kennel or playing with Trey's dogs in the backyard, I DIDIN'T received videos of Trey training him. Well, I don't know why but they just kept postponing the day of his pick up I literally had to go pick my dog up because they kept pushing the date, sketchy huh? When I picked him up Toro a month after, he was VERY SKINNY, and he had a bump on his face (pictures attached). The night I picked him up, Trey was showing us how to control Toro with the leash, he was doing the same show he did the first day, I could tell he was struggling to control him, after 15 min Toro calmed down a little bit and that's when Beth started recording, I guess for publicity purposes, but of course she didn't filmed when Toro wasn't miss behaving, she also stopped recording when I made a question to Trey about me not seeing any improvement they totally put him in the spot. Toro came back home with us and his behavior was even WORSE, he was jumping on cars and he was being reactive to people, things that he didn't do. Toro's main problem is reactivity to other dogs, Trey confirmed he was aggressive which is NOT TRUE as Toro worked with a younger trainer before and he said his reactivity was not for aggression and even when dogs get close to him he never tries to bite them, I've attached a picture where Trey said Toro's a little aggressive when greeting other dogs and tries to dominate but that he was going to solve it that I had nothing to worry about that it was more like showing a child how to calm at the dinner table. Trey saying Toro is aggressive is just an excuse for him not being able to do his job. After picking my dog under bad conditions and his behavior definitely not better I decided to stop working with them so I sent a text message explaining them my reasons and concerns and asking for a refund, I offered to pay them as a "DAY CARE" for the whole month that the kept my dog but I wasn't comfortable with them taking 2,000 USD from me when they know they didn't do what promised. I wanted my money back because I AM NOT SATISFIED with their service. OF COURSE they didn't give me a refund, not even a partial refund, Trey got super defensive, he was talking about getting lawyers involved and that it wasn't his first time dealing with a situation like this, lol I wonder why? The first time I met Trey he smelled like alcohol, which gave me a bad feeling of leaving my dog under their care, should have trusted my gut. SCAMMERS!!!
