The Good Dog Lady (Beth) did a wonderful job training our 5 mo old golden doodle puppy. He was already a sweet boy, but had no manners (mouthing, jumping on guests) and zero recall. We boarded him with Beth over four weeks. He came back with those issues worked out, plus knowing a bunch of helpful commands. Beth is passionate about her work and it shows. I would have no hesitation recommending her training. Thanks, Beth!

I researched several places and Beth was the only one that guaranteed her work. I had a rescue 2 year old that was not potty trained and would dart out any outside door when he could. I had 3 lessons with Beth. She is truly amazing and a dog whisperer. We had him trained within a week on the potty training. She then helped me with other things to work with him on including not darting out an outside door. I would recommend her 100%. She gave me so many tips on working with him. I will actually miss not seeing her smiling face and energy!!
Beth was absolutely amazing! She totally exceeded our expectations while training our 5 month old chocolate lab. She obviously has a passion for what she does. She sent almost daily videos of the progress and it was clear our puppy was having the best time while learning how to behave. We are thrilled to have our puppy home especially now that she is responding to all our commands. Thank you Beth!

We cannot recommend The Good Dog Lady enough. Beth is incredibly knowledgeable—especially when it comes to German Shepherds—and she was instrumental in helping us bring a new puppy into our home smoothly and confidently. She worked with both our new puppy and our 3-year-old dog, and honestly trained us just as much as the dogs! Beth is patient, kind, and truly understands dogs and their behavior. I trust her wholeheartedly and always feel confident knowing we are following her guidance. As an added bonus, her daughter Caroline has become our go-to pet sitter, and we are so grateful for her. Beth has also stepped in to help when needed, which speaks volumes about the care and commitment they both have. If you’re looking for someone you can fully trust with your dogs, you are in great hands with The Good Dog Lady.
