“the initial meeting was beyond what we expected!”

“From day one, we knew Alyssa was going to be able to help us. Our dog, who was reactive to strangers entering the house, snuggled beside her on the couch and fell asleep!”

Cori S. and Cooper - Guelph, ON

“I WISH they covered half of what you covered in puppy school. They don’t. It’s just basic ‘sit, stay, shake.’”

“online training worked wonders for us!”

“We live in Scotland, so Alyssa has never met Penny. Still, after just a few emails and a video chat, Alyssa taught us to train Penny to stop playing keep-away with her toys. Now playing fetch has replaced the never-ending tug-o-war. Brilliant results!!!”

how beyond dog training can help your doggy daycare

“At Elora Doggy Daycare - we have many dogs coming into our care - each with their own personality and socialization style. Alyssa of Beyond Dog Training has been spending time with us, observing our wee pack dynamics and teaching us valuable skills. Alyssa has been an absolutely amazing resource to help us decipher the language going on between dogs to better understand them and help us create a relaxed play environment for all.

Alyssa helps us to better understand the dogs in our care and teaches us new skills to bring out the best in each of them. Her calm, clear training approach is extremely effective. She has keen observation skills that make all the difference in guiding and training desirable dog behaviours.

I so appreciate Alyssa's dedication to helping dog lovers become dog leaders and highly recommend Alyssa to help you bring out the very best in your dog!”

alyssa helped us with our anxious rescue puppy from St. lucia

"Alyssa has been a wealth of information and coaching support as we welcomed our rescue puppy from St. Lucia in 2018. Leo is far more anxious than our previous dog, so we needed a new skill-set that we did not possess! Alyssa provided pragmatic, easy to follow step-by-step guidance to help us through the tough times, including helping Leo adjust to his crate, increasing his confidence during walks, decreasing barking in the house, and interacting with our cats to name a few tough situations! She helped us turn what could have been long-standing issues into manageable problems to solve. We are so in love with our Leo, and this has been facilitated by Alyssa's guidance!"

alyssa is the most patient and kind trainer

“Alyssa is the MOST patient and kind trainer. She is very knowledgeable on all things dog and helps us humans just as much as our pets. My husband and I have been working with Alyssa for the past several months with our nervous island dog Sgt. Bean who is very skittish. We have noticed many positive changes and have a better understanding of how dogs think and the best ways to handle many situations that would have been overwhelming in the past. She has been able to work around our schedule and never leaves a session unless it’s on a positive note. She worked on building trust and confidence between our children and our puppy. For all this we are extremely grateful. We have and will continue to recommend Alyssa’s services to friends, family and anyone looking for some assistance.”

A good recall saved Harper’s life today. I can’t thank you enough! I accidentally threw her ball into a quarry. She would not have survived the fall. I yelled “Stop!” and she stopped in her tracks. I yelled “Come!” and she came right back to me. Thank you so much!
