FirstBarkBeth and team did a wonderful job with my new dog Charlie. She enjoyed her time there and came home with some new skills. She now has a great foundation to build upon. We will definitely use her again for board and training. She also sent many updates along the way so I always knew how my girl was doing.

Beth was absolutely amazing with our puppies! We have three English Bulldogs, including one who is very reactive and can be a handful, so leaving them with someone is never easy. Beth went above and beyond to make them feel comfortable, and it was clear they were loved and well cared for. The biggest surprise was seeing our reactive pup having an absolute blast! That says everything about how patient, caring, and experienced Beth is with dogs of all personalities. We received updates, had complete peace of mind while we were away, and came home to three happy, relaxed pups. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and truly wonderful with dogs, I can’t recommend Beth enough. We will definitely be using her again. Thank you, Beth, for taking such great care of our babies!

We sent our very disobedient puppy, Aston, to the “Good Dog Lady” training program for a month, and honestly, I was skeptical it would make much difference. I couldn’t have been more wrong. The transformation has been incredible. Aston is attentive, eager to please, and loves showing off his commands. The most impressive change is that he now calmly waits at the door until we give him permission to go outside—no more bolting. He just sits and looks to us for the “free” command. Additionally he will calmly walk into his crate and lay down on command. You can truly see the care and expertise that went into his training. This was more than obedience—it was a complete behavioral turnaround. We’re beyond grateful and highly recommend them.
I highly recommend Beth, she is truly a GOOD DOG LADY. My 4 month golden doodle GRACE loves her. Board and train, doggy daycare (30-45 minutes opposite direction from work but worth it), and reinforcement with group classes. Great heart and lots of love!!!!

George and I (Jamie Stroh) would also give 10 stars or more. We were so fortunate to find Beth as we have a 15 month English Retriever who needed direction and she has been instrumental in not only training our puppy but also, guiding our behavior as well. We cannot say enough about Beth. Her knowledge and care is absolutely top notch and best in class. We also have 2 other dogs and used the boarding facility for all 3 while we were away and will never go anywhere else. The attention and care for our dogs and the updates she provided daily to us were exceptional. We truly thank you Beth and will continue to stay connected.
