I had an amazing experience working with Vanessa! She always replied fast and was so patient with all my questions. You can really tell she loves her dogs.
What impressed me the most was the amazing initial training she gave the puppy. Thanks to her thoughtful preparation, Mocha adapted beautifully from day one. He’s totally comfortable in his crate, plays quietly with his toys, doesn’t bark or cry, and even sleeps through the night in the crate with no issues. He also already knows how to use the pee pad, which has made things so much easier for me.
All of this shows how much care and effort Vanessa puts into her puppies. I’m really thankful I found her through Good Dog, and I couldn’t be happier with Mocha.

I am very grateful to Vanessa. From the moment I contacted her, she always responded very quickly, was always willing to answer questions, and sent me videos of my puppy. The coordination for picking up our puppy was excellent. She gave me all the necessary documentation and information, and along with our puppy, she brought a lot of toys, food, and treats for the first few days. One thing I really liked was her connection with her dogs, Teddy and Clarice. When I saw them, I knew they were the kind of dog we wanted in our home and Vanessa made it very easy for us. Today we are enjoying and happy that Xanti (Gray Boy) is part of our family.
