Good Dog Lady is a wonderful boarding company, they took care of my puppy and have demonstrated that going above and beyond was in the DNA of this establishment, during my puppy stay he became very sick and had to be admitted to a pet emergency hospital for diagnosis and treatment, Beth the owner was there personally for several hours communicating with me while i was out of the country and my son, she kept me informed daily on progress and all other pertinent details that a pet owner may be wondering about but is either shy or too busy to ask while traveling. Beth is an absolute gem of a human being.

Ohhh my goodness ! Thank you Max for such kind words . I trully appreciate ❤️<br>You pup did get sick and when i saw that pain in his eyes - i had to help ! Your pup and every dog that comes here is like my own. <br> It was so great to see him getting better with each hour, after returning from a hospital . Arnold is the sweetest german shepherd puppy i ever encounter. There is no mean bone in his body. Loves playing , but is also very curious what his human is doing , so follows us everywhere and just “ hangs out” <br>I hope he will recovers completely , and comes back soon to check out our new agility/ playground course. <br>Thank you again for such a nice review , and please call me , if you ever need any help with any if your pups 🐾<br>Beth<br>❤️🐾❤️<br>

We sent our puppy, Daisy, to Beth for a 4-week board-and-train program, and the results have been incredible. Before Beth, Daisy was quite the handful—she was constantly "stealing" household items, running away when called, and was a bit too mouthy/nippy during playtime. We knew she was a good girl, but she was definitely being naughty! From the start, Beth and her fellow trainer went above and beyond. We were so impressed that they didn't just train her in a facility; they took her on real-world outings to ensure her manners held up everywhere. The communication was stellar—we received constant updates and videos, which made us feel so much better about being away from her. The productivity of the sessions exceeded anything we had imagined. Daisy came home a different dog. Not only are her behavioral issues vastly improved, but she even learned extra tricks! What meant the most to us, however, was the transition back home. Beth walked us through exactly how to keep up the progress and took the time to include our kids in the training process. Seeing them learn how to work with Daisy was so special for our family. Beth also provided invaluable advice on nutrition and general care. It is clear she truly loves what she does. We could not speak more highly of her services—Daisy will definitely be boarding with Beth every time our family goes out of town! Highly recommend!

Thank you guys from the bottom of my heart for such a sweet review. 🙏<br>Daisy is an amazing puppy with heart as big as everyone in your family. She stole the show when she was here. Her gentle personality made everyone smile from early morning - to late evenings. She learned a lot , and enjoyed learning very much! <br>Always super attentive and ready to please . My favorite part of her training was when she would give a side eye to other pups ,that tried to interrupt her training. .She was very focused on her tasks ,but siding others - as to tell them - “ Leave me alone - I’m working - I will chase you later 🤣“<br>She is always welcome to stay with us ,and I can’t wait to see her again soon. As always please feel free to reach out with any questions and enjoy that sweet soul at your home. <br>Beth<br>❤️🐾❤️<br>

I look forward to supporting your pup’s continued progress. Luka has a lot of potential and I will love seeing him come to board with us soon .<br>My favorite part of his training was a crate the look in his eyes when I entered your house. So absolutely thrilled to see me. <br>Beth <br>❤️🐾❤️

Beth is an absolute God-send! She has been an incredible help in training our puppy (and me!). We have also used her kennel service, and I will be using this service again, any time we need to leave her. Coco adores Beth, and so do all of our family! I am so grateful that we found her!

I rescued a GSD at 8.5yo and he was very isolated and had a rough life before the rescue. I came from having my service dog just pass months before to a dog that just needed love and direction. Once I engaged with Beth and she was able to bring Tahoe under her wing for training, he became night and day difference. His skills and manners are exceptional now. Beth is world class when it comes to her profession and one of the nicest persons I could have entrusted my best friend with. Tahoe loved everyday spent with Beth, it was clear as day by her progression updates throughout his training! Highly recommend!

Business response

Thank you Paul, so much for sweet words <br>We’ve had plenty of challenges with Tahoe, but it was so much fun to be a part of his transformation. <br>His sweet eyes brighten each day of mine , as I worked with him .<br>My most fun memory of his stay here is , when we’ve got him a 40” herding ball , and he “killed” it in 10 seconds , and was proudly parading with it in his mouth🤣🤣🤣<br>I hope he is a big help to you , and so glad he is doing well.👍<br>I love the update pics <br>Tell him I have a new set of tennis balls just for him next time he visits <br>Beth<br>❤️🐾❤️
