Certified Dog Trainers in Clearwater, Florida

Beyond Training I am clearly a woman who followed her dream. A dog lover my entire life, I’ve turned my passion for animals into a career. I work at Beyond Pampered (doggy daycare) as a manager and trainer and I’m surrounded by dogs of all ages, breeds and personalities including my own dog “Riley”, a Chihuahua/Jack Russell mix. It’s truly a dream come true.
