"I could not ask for a better cat sitter than Wendy. She is really wonderful with my furry babies. I love the photos Wendy sends. They really show my babies happy and engaged. By far the best cat sitter we have ever had the privilege to care for our furry babies. 11 out of 10!"

"Mary did a FANTASTIC job sending adorable pictures and videos of each of our pets! Mary’s notes were extremely thorough and very detailed. Our family is beyond impressed with the services provided by your company! The cost of the drop in visits, especially over holiday periods, was very affordable."

"Our fur babies Love Michael. He always leaves us notes that we enjoy reading. We look forward to the days he comes and take them for a walk. We appreciated the photos and it let us know that our fur babies were happy. Everyone has been super helpful and friendly. We LOVE, Love , Love the notes."

"Thank you once again for taking such excellent care of my 4-legged kids while I was out of town for Thanksgiving! Marlaine, thank you for doing such a wonderful job with Gibson & Margarita! I know they tended to hide under beds, but the reports you left let me know how great a job you did! Margarita does love to chase her treats! The value is excellent for all the you do while watching my pets. I know I leave my “kids” in good hands anytime I use your services. You all are the only cat sitting service I will ever use! You are all the best!”

"I’m not really very good at writing reviews but I feel like Terie definitely deserves for me to let people know of my experience with her board and train. We have 2 dogs that we adopted that are both high energy, reactive, stubborn and sweet dogs. To say we had lost control would be accurate. Honestly, we had it all wrong from the get go. We were those parents that baby talked, lavished them with affection, thought that they weren’t “happy” if they weren’t running through the yard and house like wild animals, let them jump up on the furniture anytime and it was just total chaos at night trying to relax watching tv or heaven forbid eat dinner in peace. We had purchased about 5 baby gates to keep them out of the kitchen and to restrict access to any doors that led to the outside because they would attempt to dart out if given any opportunity. I was at my wits end and was about to have knee replacement and I was terrified of my 55 lb dog leaping onto to me while I was sitting on the couch. Something had to give. We loved our dogs so really there was only one choice. I knew that we were a HUGE part of the problem. We have had tons of dogs but never dogs this big so it was easier to ignore their behavior. I had worked with Terie years ago and I knew she loved what she did and she was very good at it. We sent both dogs to her for the 4 week board and train and WOW what a difference!! We now have peace in the house and are actually enjoying them instead of being frustrated and stressed all the time. It does require work on the owners part but its fun work. Its nice to see the dogs respond to us. They no longer look at us like “what are you going to do about it??” They know we mean business. Its now been a couple of weeks since we got them both back and I am so happy we did it. THANK YOU Terie and your team for all your hard work and patience with Bailey and Gomer. They are happier and so are we!!"

"I have a four year old American Staffordshire Terrier named Brody. He is the sweetest and most playful boy but gets very easily overexcited. His daycare recommended Good Dog! Coaching following an incident where his overexcitement had gotten him in trouble. I did some research and made the call and ever since I first spoke to Terie, I knew this would be a great decision. I opted for the 4-Week Board and Train program. It fast tracked my dog’s training and to be honest the results are insane! Brody is a lot calmer now. He has learned to be a chill observer of his surroundings as opposed to a reactive overstimulated one. He listens now and is able to hold commands. He doesn’t jump on people anymore. He doesn’t pull on the leash or chase squirrels on walks. Our daily walks are absolutely PERFECT now. The tools and information that I have received to continue his training and daily improvement have helped me so much. I finally feel fully in control of my dog and I feel like we have a better connection with each other now. Whoever said you can’t teach an old dog new tricks was definitely wrong!"

"Well.. I can’t say enough about how awesome and amazing this dog training is and how it changed the life of my beautiful girl and her family. Indie is a black lab “mix” we have no idea what she’s mixed with, but for sure she’s mixed with a rambunctious insane amount of positive energy. We knew she had potential… super smart… super hyper… super impulsive. We couldn’t walk her around other dogs… couldn’t get her to stop being insane around company.. yeah.. there were a lot of tears from her owner. We boarded her because we knew we couldn’t possibly take her ANYWHERE. We couldn’t take her to a park.. festival.. dog park.. (which they don’t recommend).. restaurant. She was ridiculous to say the least. Now.. the sky is the limit. Anything.. anywhere.. anyone.. we want to be around… she can handle it. She “places” until I say “break” (best command EVER) which really helps with coming home from a long day of teaching.. she “heals”… she “COMES” every single time…every time… every TIME! I can’t tell you how much I 100% RECOMMEND THIS TRAINING. 100% changed our lives in the best way. I LOVE MY DOG and it was truly questionable for while. She even made the husband a “believer”.. you know how skeptical they can be at times. No.. Terie.. she’s the real deal… she’s amazing… she deserves every bit of the praise and recognition that we can possibly give her. My one piece of advice. Just TRUST her. You may question from the very beginning… just TRUST HER. SHE KNOW WHAT SHE IS DOING! 100% SATISIFIED. WELL WORTH THE $$. DO IT NOW! Do not hesitate. Changed our life in such a positive way. "

"Terie Hansen is excellent. My lab is now 22 weeks old. Terie trained me and now my puppy is a miracle. Takes a lot of work, consistency and work. She’s 85lbs of badass! She’ll come to you , she’ll take and train in house and she boards!! I just can’t say enough! Look her up. #1 Dog trainer in Gwinnett County for years!"

"My dog Scout did a complete 360 with your help. He was leash aggressive/reactive, people reactive, noise reactive, dog reactive, the list goes on and on, but with Terie’s help I can finally enjoy my dog again, I can walk him without fear of his strength and with the knowledge that he understands that I have control of the situation and that he can sit back, relax, and enjoy life as a dog should. Our next 90 days with him are crucial but we are ready and so is he! We know now that we can concur anything as a family and that includes him. Thank you so much for help, time, patience, and wisdom! You are the best ??"

"Thinking of you tonight… As we were taking our dogs for a walk. Received several compliments on Maddie. She has finally turned a corner, she’s finally part of the pack. You would be proud of her. Thank you for all of your hard work with us, and for coaching us to stick through it. Especially me:) You made all the difference! We are proud to walk the neighborhood with her."

"I somehow inherited a pit mix puppy a few months ago. At the ripe age of two months, everyone kept scaring me that pits have an aggressive temperament, and needed to be trained early. My dear Penguin was far from aggressive. Yes he is a rambunctious puppy, who loves EVERYONE, but def not aggressive. Due to potty training and basic manners, I did call out to many trainers. Unfortunately, there were one too many trainers out there that would not give Penguin a chance because he was a partial pit. One of the training places gave me the information to Good Dog Coaching and let us know that she works with dogs of all breeds, and they were correct. I called Terri, set up an interview, and our relationship flourished from there. She brought a whole bunch of energy and positive reinforcement for my lil pup. WOO HOO with every command he got right. Each training session wasn’t a pre-outlined session, it was individualized on Penguin’s weekly behavior. Correcting bad behavior and praising the good. Needless to say, our pup is 7.5 months old, potty trained, crate trained, can sit, down, walk on a leash, and stay in place. He is still a pup, so we are working on training him not to jump on people, but she gave us a great working foundation. She trained us (BF and I) how to appropriately communicate with our pup to ensure the greatest outcome. She taught us how to set him up for success. She comes with a great knowledge base when it comes to training, and just flat out loving your fur-baby. She provided nutritional advice. Natural flea/tick remedy advice, etc etc. Overall, Good Dog Coaching is the way to go!!! This company also provides other services which are worth checking out. I personally utilized the private dog boarding service. This is the same concept as bringing your child to grandma’s house, so she can watch him/her for the weekend. You go for an initial interview to the home of the sitter. If all works out, you can board your fur-baby at their HOME. So this is a little more intimate then those indoor-outdoor camps. They are watched closely, treated like family, and well taken care of. Another good part about this is that there can only be so many fur-babies at once, so prevents overcrowding. A tad on the pricey side, but would def do it again. For any training, boarding, pet-sitting, private boarding, your own in-home boarding…. I mean they have it all, just check out their website and browse through the services. I’m pretty sure if you are a mama in need of some fur-baby help, there is something this company has to offer. Enjoy!!"

"Jana did a great job with my 2 babies. Even Ziva (she is a real mama’s girl) warmed up by day 2 and played fetch with her. I was not expecting the detailed report card left by my sitter so, when I read it, that was an awesome thing to be given. Loved all the pictures. This service was just what I was looking for!"

"Just wanted to let you know that Jack did an excellent job taking care of our fur babies last week! Everyone was very content and happy when we got home. Thank you so much!!!"

"Sharel Mitchell recommends Good Dog! Coaching & Pet Care, LLC: “Terie is knowledgeable, patient, and absolutely phenomenal! My little fur baby, Shiloh, is a wild child, but already in two sessions I am learning the skills necessary to train her to be an obedient pup with manners. Thanks, Terie … we look forward to future sessions with you!!! You are the best!” I just wanted to let you know just how happy I am with Calli’s excellent service and care with our pups! We look forward to booking with her again in October!! And much thanks to you too Terie for helping us have such a stress free Labor Day weekend getaway! You and your team rock!"

"Jordan is doing a fantastic job!!!!! Charley gets so excited to see him. Jordan is very patient with Charley and makes him behave like he should. Also, I don’t have an issue with the date change at all. Thank you so much for working with us!"

"Morgan did a great job taking care of Lula. The security system told us when she was there, and it was obvious that Lula was glad to see her. We were impressed with how prompt she was right on schedule every day. Thank you for the help from Good Dog!. We could not have gone on vacation without you."

"Just had to brag for a moment and say thank you again! I just got back from taking Max to the vet- he was due for vaccine and I scheduled a nail trim too. He was so calm on the ride there, sat before we walked in and sat in the waiting room like a “big boy”! They could not get over how calm he was and how well he behaved! I know we still have “Boxer energy moments” but I was so proud of him and wanted to share! Also, Caesar was at home crated, taking a good nap- his crate was covered so he didn’t even notice we were gone briefly. Hallelujah! Thanks again! Next time, I’m taking your business card with me to the vet! Have a great weekend!"

"Abbie was great! It is such peace of mind to have a great company and great people take care of your pets while you are away. It was nice to know we didn’t have to worry at all while we were gone. Abbie did a great job documenting the day to day events of our two Great Danes. Abbie sent photos several times a day. She takes great photos! We look forward to a lot more pet care. Thank you, Robert."

"My overall experience with Good Dog! Coaching & Pet Care was Wonderful! We called at the last minute during the holidays and Gwynne was great! We didn’t worry about the dogs a bit–such peace of mind! I couldn’t believe the daily reports!! Pictures every day! I found their services to be reliable, professional, flexible, caring and a good value for the money spent."
