What we do

Welcome to Beyond the Dog, a dog training company providing science-based training solutions throughout Sarasota

Dog Trainer - Sean Savage

Our dog training programs uphold the highest standards by assessing your dog’s unique behavioral and training needs. We introduce real-life distractions during training to ensure they are practical and relevant to your daily life, helping your dog respond effectively in any situation. Whether this includes teaching obedience commands at your home, recall at Bayfront Park, or fearful puppy training at Sapphire Shores, our practical training methods provide lasting results.

Our training programs are designed to be flexible and practical, adapting to your training goals, environment, and your dog’s progress. We will work directly with you so that you can learn how to best bring your dog’s newly learned skills into your daily life. Our step-by-step programs offer ongoing support and guidance to help you raise a well-behaved, calm, and confident dog.
