Beyond the Walk | Daycare, Boarding, Training

At this place, the top priority is your dog's well being. I'm thoroughly impressed. Before I boarded my dogs, we did a trial, however one of my dogs was extremely anxious. Due to this, I was asked to stay during this trial and we ended up doing a second trial. This alone let me know how much Diane cares about my dogs. She put their needs first. The fact that we did two trials really let me know that my dogs would be well taken care of. I got some updates on my dogs while I was gone, which was so reassuring. I love my babies more than anything and will happily board them here again.

Diane is such a knowledgeable and caring trainer and caretaker of our dog Avenger. He is a large and powerful boy and handles him amazingly. He is comfortable and happy spending his "vacations" with her!

Update 7/21/23: I’m back to say that we are still incredibly pleased with the services that Beyond the Walk offers. Diane and her staff go above and beyond to make sure the dogs (and families) are comfortable with their stay. My husband and I have added a third dog in the past year and we wouldn’t be able to go on vacation if we didn’t have the right place to care for our dogs. Our newest pup is blind, so that leaves us with two special needs dogs and a third dog who has had several medical challenges this year. Beyond the Walk offers a calm, nurturing environment that considers the individual needs of each dog including training goals, personality and play style. My dogs would not do well in a typical kennel environment and I know that they receive the best care possible here. I would recommend anyone to use Beyond the Walk without hesitation. Rebel, Shea and Annie highly approve! My husband and I are thrilled with our experiences at Beyond the Walk. I have two rescue hounds and they adore Diane. I am always so anxious to leave them, especially with one of my pups being blind. Diane makes us feel so comfortable and I have total confidence in her care. I get picture and video updates and she individualizes the care she gives each dog. She knows what they like and helps out with your dogs’ training goals. Beyond the Walk is the only place my dogs will stay!

Like many Australian Shepards, our Milo can be a handful when it comes to care. Combine that with the behavioral issues he developed from his time at the shelter and many exchanges of ownership, we knew we had to search for the best services possible when it comes to daycare/boarding. Diane and her team were highly recommended to us by our dog trainer. Diane is very knowledgeable and patient with us and our pup, and she provides exceptional training to her staff as well. When Milo is unable to join us on our family travels, there is no other group we trust more than Beyond The Walk, because that is exactly what the provide - thoughtful care, stimulation, and training that extends BEYOND the basic boarding and walk a dog needs. TLDR - Diane and her group are cool people, and they know dogs!

I have been bringing my two dogs to Diane and Beyond the Walk for over 2 years now. She has done an amazing job care for my pups and has been a wealth of knowledge with their behavior. Since my schedule changes, she is always available to help and take my dogs for daycare on short notice. I highly recommend BTW to anyone looking for daycare, boarding, and training.

Diane was wonderful with my dog! Our dog had never been boarded and was anxious, Diane went above and beyond to make her feel comfortable. She is very knowledgeable, we will be using her again!

Beyond the Walk is great! We have been going here since day 1 when we got our puppy. It is great socialization and was very good to get my puppy used to crate training. When we were away, Diane sends us photos of our dog having the best time! She keeps us informed and gives us updates. There is no hesitation on where to bring her when we are away. What we really like is Diane bases playtime on the friendliness and temperament of each dog. Diane is very knowledgeable in nutrition as well as many other aspects to make sure we have what is the best for our pup - it helped us make a very conscious decision for what to look for in dog food. The location from our home is a little out of our way but we still wouldn't consider going anywhere else!
