Dog Training Solutions Created for St. Louis’s Dogs

Welcome to Beyond the Dog – a dog training company passionate about St. Louis’s dogs.

What we do

We deliver personalized dog training solutions throughout the St. Louis area.

Our private dog training programs allow us to tailor solutions to your specific dog training needs and goals. Every dog is evaluated by our expert trainers and receives a customized training plan. The flexibility to build every program around each dog allows us to challenge your pup with advanced obedience training or address more severe behavioral concerns. We meet your dog where they are and help them achieve the best life possible.

Training our clients to effectively communicate with their dogs is equally important to us as training dogs! Our trainers work side by side with you to develop your dog training skills so you and your dog can continue making progress even after your program is complete! We strive to ensure our clients can handle the smallest puppy training concern all the way to implementing intensive dog behavior modification plans.
