Our Mission
Beyond the Dog was created to provide St. Louis’s dogs and their families with personalized dog training solutions directly in their homes. Providing in-home daily training support allows dogs and their owners to make the progress they never thought possible. This is due to the integrative techniques Dr. Echterling-Savage and Sean Savage developed utilizing the latest research in dog training and behavior. Our dog trainers are experts in their field and we strive to continually grow and learn to provide the best dog training possible to our clients. Read more about our journey to St. Louis below!
Our Story
We are so excited about Beyond the Dog’s expansion to St. Louis. Adding St. Louis to one of our major markets made sense. After all, over 20 years ago, as an undergraduate student, I attended the University of Missouri. With Columbia’s proximity to St. Louis, I spent many years traveling to St. Louis. I had life-long friends and now have family living in St. Louis, and it feels like a second home to me. After reflecting on our opening in St. Louis, it just so happens we opened our doors in The Gateway to the West 15 years to the day after starting Beyond the Dog. With our St. Louis trainers who are meeting and exceeding Beyond the Dog’s standards, we are thrilled to provide our services to the St. Louis community for years to come! Thank you for the warm, Midwestern welcome!
