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

Beth was incredibly prepared, helpful and tons of experience.

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.

The Good Dog Lady to us has become more than our partner in training our service dogs! She has become a member of our family and the nose prints on our living room window is from our dogs waiting on their next session with Beth!!

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

We cannot say enough good things about Good Dog Lady. 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. Beth takes time to offer follow-up sessions as well to help owners understand how best to maintain and keep working with your puppy. 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. We had complete peace of mind knowing Rooney was in such capable and compassionate hands.If you’re looking for a trainer or boarder you can fully trust with your dog, look no further. She is simply the best! Show less

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! Show less

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. She truly has a gift for understanding dogs and helping owners connect with their pets in a meaningful way. My dog and I are better for it, and I can’t thank her enough. Show less
