Good foundation! Our puppy did board and train with the Good Dog Lady. We brought him home sleeping through the night, knowing how to sit ,down and a few other markers that we are working on. He also started to learn a leash. I will use her to board our sweet Goose and to do additional training.so glad we found her. Show less

Beth is phenomenal. I cant say enough about our experience. From the time I reached out to her, she was responsive, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to talk to. She treated my puppy as her own. While he was there, she kept me updated through videos and pictures. Seeing him play so well & comfortable with others there was reassuring. Its the ultimate dog playground! She even sent the introduction videos, which being his first time with more than one dog made me feel so at ease. So thankful I found someone I can trust with my fur baby. Show less

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! Show less

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. Show less

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. Show less

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. Show less

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! Show less

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! Show less

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! Show less

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!! Show less

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! Show less

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.

Beth at The Good Dog Lady is nothing short of extraordinary.We rescued our Jack Russell Terrier at approximately 8–10 weeks old and began working with Beth when he was about five months old. Like most JRTs, Sal came with intense energy, puppy nipping and mouthing, lack of focus, leash chaos, and general terrier mayhem.From the moment Beth walked through the door, everything changed.Her voice is calm yet confidently assertive, and the instant connection she made with Sal was something I’ve honestly never witnessed before. It was visual, intuitive, and immediate. Her ability to read puppy language, especially breed-specific Jack Russell cues, is almost inexplicable. You can see her communicate with a dog through her look, tone, timing, and mannerisms alone. It’s remarkable.Over just six weeks (one weekly session), the results were nothing short of miraculous. Sal learned sit, wait, come, stay, down, and, the jaw-dropping moment for us, food impulse control. We can now put his bowl down and he waits intently for the “take it” command. I’ve had dogs my entire life and have never seen a literal puppy learn with this level of clarity and consistency.Beth doesn’t just train dogs, she teaches people. She explained puppy behavior in a way that finally made sense, gave us clear homework after each session, emphasized consistency, and built our confidence to an all-time high. She even encouraged us to record sessions so we could rewatch and reinforce everything on our own, which was invaluable. She taught us how to correct each other so the training stayed consistent at all times, something I didn’t realize was so critical until she showed us.For anyone worried about harsh methods or abuse: this could not be further from the truth. Beth is exceptionally gentle, loving, and respectful. I would leave our puppy with her for a month without hesitation, knowing he would receive attentive care, effective training, and genuine affection.This was, without question, the best money we’ve ever spent. We now have a content, obedient, confident puppy, and our own stress, anxiety, and aggravation are virtually nonexistent. That peace alone is priceless.If you’re on the fence, don’t be. Beth is the real deal. Show less
We couldn’t be happier with Beth, the Good Dog Lady! She is an expert in her field, and we will continue training with her until our pup, Dani, is a certified therapy dog.

We met Beth at an HEB while we were carrying our new pup, and she handed us a card saying, “You need this.” At the time, we had an extremely excited and humongous puppy on our hands. The “good dog lady” quickly became our baby’s favorite person. She is incredibly kindhearted and genuinely cares for everyone she works with.Beth makes sure to review each trick thoroughly and has both my husband and me practice so we are always on the same page. She helped us redirect our dog’s energy and taught us how to interact with her properly, because training truly goes both ways. We learned how to communicate with our dog so she could learn how to communicate with us.Our Yuffie has gone from a complete tug walker to a well behaved and obedient dog. She now responds quickly to our commands and shows impressive restraint when we are out in public.We later ran into a major issue with our dog’s food allergies, to the point where we were texting Beth at all hours of the day. She was always prompt in responding and showed genuine concern and commitment to our dog.Yuffie was reacting negatively to every protein we tried. Beth truly helped ease our concerns by offering so much thoughtful advice, and we were able to transition Yuffie to a salmon based diet. At one point she was losing a significant amount of weight, and Beth helped us work through everything so we could prevent her growth from being stunted.Our sessions are extremely informative, and we feel so blessed knowing our dog is in such good hands. We truly needed Beth’s guidance, and we are genuinely so happy and grateful for the results we have seen. From training to health advice, Beth truly does it all. Show less

From day one, it was clear how genuinely patient, knowledgeable, and loving she is, not just with dogs, but with their owners too.We did a two week board-and-train with our, and she truly came back like a new dog. The progress was incredible, but what stood out even more was the care, consistency, and thoughtfulness behind the training.

She clearly meets each dog where they are and tailors her approach with so much intention.You can tell this isn’t just a job for her, she truly loves what she does and treats every dog as if they were her own.

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! Show less

I recently had the pleasure of working with Beth for one-on-one dog training, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the start, Beth was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly patient. My dog had some behavioral issues, and I struggled to capture his attention and get him to listen to me. Thanks to Beth’s expertise, that’s all changed!She trained me lol.. she taught me effective techniques to not only get my dog’s attention but also to ensure he responds consistently to my commands. The transformation has been remarkable my dog is now more obedient, focused, and well-behaved. Beth’s one-on-one approach really made a difference, allowing us to work at our own pace and focus on the specific areas that needed improvement.I highly recommend Beth to anyone looking for a skilled and caring dog trainer.
