EXCELLENT Based on 18 reviews Posted on Nikki JohnsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.Posted on DanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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!!Posted on warren donofrioTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.Posted on Sandy MozurTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.Posted on umaima memonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.Posted on Jeffrey WoodTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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!Posted on Aatif ShaikTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Beth trained our dog Kito! You can tell she really cares about your pet and loves and trains them with all of her heart. She was always on time to our appointments and listened to all of our concerns and helped us through our sessions.Posted on James FTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.Posted on Shanna FougerousseTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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!Posted on Kelly MadonnaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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
Group Dog Training Classes in Princeton, TX
Welcome to Good Dog Lady’s group training program, where your dog learns essential life skills in a fun, social environment. Located in the heart of Princeton, TX, our classes combine professional instruction with real-world practice, helping dogs and their families build lasting bonds through positive training experiences.
Our Princeton facility offers a safe, controlled setting where dogs can learn alongside their peers while receiving personalized attention from certified trainers. Whether you’re raising a puppy or helping an adult dog develop better manners, our group classes provide the structure, socialization, and support you need for success.
With convenient scheduling and affordable pricing, we make professional dog training accessible to Princeton and surrounding communities including McKinney, Frisco, Plano, and Dallas.
What Are Group Classes?
Group classes are structured training sessions where 6-8 dogs and their owners learn together under the guidance of a professional trainer. Think of it as school for dogs, a place where your furry friend can develop essential skills while practicing around controlled distractions.
Each class follows a carefully planned curriculum that builds skills progressively over multiple weeks. Dogs learn basic commands, proper social behavior, and impulse control while their humans master timing, consistency, and effective communication techniques. Unlike informal dog parks or playdates, group classes provide supervised interactions where every moment becomes a learning opportunity.
Our sessions blend instruction, hands-on practice, and controlled socialization. You’ll watch demonstrations, practice with your own dog, troubleshoot challenges with trainer support, and observe other dog-handler teams – often learning as much from watching others as from your own practice time. This format creates a supportive community where everyone celebrates each other’s progress.
Our Training Methods
At Good Dog Lady, we exclusively use science-based, positive reinforcement methods that build confidence and strengthen the human-animal bond. Our approach focuses on rewarding desired behaviors rather than punishing mistakes, creating eager learners who genuinely enjoy training time.
We teach dogs what TO do, not just what not to do. Using treats, praise, play, and life rewards, we make good behavior more rewarding than unwanted behavior. This means your dog learns to choose polite greetings over jumping, loose-leash walking over pulling, and calm settling over demanding attention – all without fear, intimidation, or harsh corrections.
Our trainers stay current with the latest behavioral science and continuously refine their techniques. We adapt our methods to each dog’s learning style, using food-motivated training for some, toy rewards for others, and finding the perfect motivation for every individual. Clear communication, proper timing, and consistency form the foundation of everything we teach.
Every exercise is broken into small, achievable steps that set dogs up for success. We believe training should be enjoyable for both ends of the leash, creating positive associations that last a lifetime.
Why Choose Group Classes?
Affordable Professional Training
Group classes deliver expert instruction at a fraction of private training costs. You receive the same quality teaching and proven methods while sharing costs with other participants, making professional training accessible for more families.
Built-In Distractions
Real life is full of distractions – other dogs, people, sounds, and movements. Group classes provide these distractions in a controlled environment where you can practice commands with professional support. Your dog learns to focus and respond even when exciting things happen nearby, making skills more reliable in everyday situations.
Crucial Socialization
Proper socialization goes beyond just meeting other dogs. In our classes, dogs learn appropriate social skills, polite greetings, and calm behavior around others. They discover that other dogs can be near without interacting, building confidence and reducing reactivity. For puppies, this controlled exposure during critical development periods shapes lifelong social skills.
Community Support
Training challenges feel less overwhelming when you’re surrounded by others on the same journey. Our classes create a supportive community where participants encourage each other, share experiences, and celebrate victories together. Many clients form lasting friendships with fellow dog lovers who understand the joys and frustrations of raising a well-behaved dog.
Structured Learning Path
Our progressive curriculum ensures you’re building skills in the right order, with each week preparing you for the next. This systematic approach prevents gaps in training and provides clear goals and milestones. You’ll always know what to practice at home and what’s coming next, eliminating guesswork from your training journey.
Accountability and Motivation
Weekly classes keep you accountable and maintain training momentum. Having a scheduled class motivates consistent practice, while the social aspect makes training something to look forward to rather than another chore. Seeing other teams progress inspires you to keep working, and friendly competition often brings out everyone’s best effort.
