On 1/16/2026 Elaina Merlis had this to say:
Ginger is so happy at doggy daycare. She’s happy when I drop her off in the morning and she’s happy when I pick her up. So happy that she barely wants to leave 😂. She gets plenty of exercise and enrichment. The enrichment helps her to build her confidence and the dog training has made her much easier to walk on a leash. I’m so grateful to have found such a wonderful, knowledgeable and caring place.

I highly recommend Diana and her team at A Good Dog, in the Making. Diana is incredibly responsive, flexible, and truly cares about the dogs in her care. The biggest compliment I can give is that my dog Luna is genuinely excited to see them when we arrive. We’ve only used boarding so far, but it’s been such a great experience that I’m considering daycare a few times a month- even though I live in South Austin and it’s a 40-minute drive!

I can’t recommend Good Dog in the Making enough! Diana worked with my Cavapoo, Bunker, and the results have been incredible. He’s now so well-mannered when we go out to eat or take walks—it’s a night and day difference. Diana truly pours her heart into what she does. You can tell she genuinely cares about each dog and their progress. Her passion and patience made training such a positive experience for both of us. I also love that she offers refresher classes to help reinforce good habits. If you’re looking for a trainer who is not only knowledgeable but also kind, committed, and absolutely amazing with dogs—Diana is the one. Bunker and I are so grateful!-Shanna

Best dog school that Hondo has the pleasure of attending! He loves and respects his Dog Trainer “Diana “!! He has learned so much in a short amount of time. He can’t get enough of Mallari enrichment days!!! Love this place

Good dog in the making was amazing for my dog’s boarding over spring break! Our usual place was not available but Diana and her team came highly recommended. They did not disappoint. When she noticed something going on with our pup’s ear she immediately contacted us, called our vet directly, made an appointment and took him to it! Turns out ear infection 😢. Had she not been so attentive and caring he likely would have been suffering all week. I loved seeing daily photos/ videos of what the dogs were up to (including pupsicles!). Not sure our dog wanted to come home 🤪
