It felt kismet finding Beyond the Dog in my home city and discovering it was owned by a Certified Applied Animal Behaviorist. Dr. Savage and her team strive to make sure all trainers have everything they need to learn and flourish in all case types. Focus, hard work, and full dedication are necessary for every case.
