We did in-home training with The Good Dog Lady, and it was a great experience. Beth was patient, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. She focused on teaching us how to be better dog parents, not just training the dog, which made a big difference. The guidance was practical and easy to apply in everyday situations. Highly recommend her services.
I loved the superior service of Beth coming to my house to train my new puppy. Elvis fell in love with her and we loving call her his grandma. She also boarded him a few times as a puppy and took such great care of him, sending me videos and photos daily of him. I would recommend her to anyone needing dog training or boarding. She also picks up and delivers!
Would have given 10 stars if I could! You won't find a better trainer than Beth. Worked with our crazy lab so well he was able to go into schools and nursing homes where he became a source of joy of the residents. Her boarding facility is wonderful-nice indoor kennels, huge play yard, complete with everything a dog could love. Recommend highly

Beth is amazing! My wife and I were struggling with our recently adopted pup (lots of energy, barking, keeping us awake, etc.) and within a couple of sessions Beth fixed it all! Her techniques are all positive and encourage a close, loving relationship with your dog - never using negative corrections or fear. She's very easy to work with and adapts the training to your specific needs, ensuring you get the most value out of the lessons. After her private lessons, we started boarding with her as well and that's been fantastic. She's cheaper than the large daycares, the dogs have consistent access to a huge outdoor space, and she keeps you updated with pictures and videos. Also, Beth herself is caring for your dog which means you have an expert attending to them and helping them continue to develop healthy traits, rather than someone just keeping an eye on them. My wife and I cannot recommend the Good Dog Lady enough!
