Clients have praised the trainers' patience, accommodation of busy schedules, and the significant improvements they've seen in their dogs' behavior. The trainers use positive reinforcement as the primary means of motivation, which has been a major selling point for clients. The business has earned high praise from its clients for its expertise, professionalism, and the positive impact it has had on both the dogs and their owners. The reviews highlight the success stories of clients who have worked with the trainers. One client's dog, Ollie, went from having serious resource guarding issues and reactivity toward other dogs to becoming a "lovely pet with appropriate boundaries" thanks to the work of trainer Shelby. Another client's dog, Franklin, started as a "wild shelter dog with no manners" but has now significantly improved in his reactivity on walks and behavior indoors, thanks to the training program with trainer Shyenne. The All-Inclusive program has also been praised for its convenience and effectiveness in addressing a variety of behavioral issues, including leash reactivity and excessive barking, in the client's home.
We started our 1 yo German shepherd in training with Ben and Abby from beyond the dog in Houston and cannot say our praises louder. Our dog, Rin, was mouthy, jumped on people, and pulled on her leash. We recently adopted her and so we were unsure of her history and temperament around other dogs but she initially seemed reactive (or overly excited and not manageable) when seeing dogs afar. With the 3 Day a week / month long program, our world and hers has turned around! We all learned the skills to ensure we have a happy and well behaved dog for life. Treat training and use of consequences (not punishment!) as well as consistency in our actions and expectations of her. She has even enjoyed proper introductions to dogs and dog park time! We are going to continue our training with Ben for maintenance and really to train the humans some more!! Amazing and so thankful for their guidance and skills. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
