The Fairy Dogmother

Stephanie has trained our current dog and our previous dog. She also pet sits and stays at our home and I never have to worry at all. She is truly a fairy dog mother. Our dog Kiki goes berserk when Stephanie shows up. I never have to worry at all when Stephanie is in charge of the pooch. Can’t say enough good things about her. She’s truly the best of the best

Thank goodness for The Fairy Dogmother! Stephanie trained our pandemic puppy, TJ, and more importantly trained my husband and I too. TJ learned helpful commands like “come, off, sit, down, leave it” and others that make living in our household harmonious. We humans learned the importance if consistency, when and how much to reward, how to redirect when TJ has a hard time following our directions. I can’t imagine trying to manage a dog as energetic and smart as TJ if Stephanie hadn’t trained us all! Highly recommend.

Stephanie is amazing. She helped us train our Husky puppy. Most importantly, she worked with my teenage daughter and I both to train him. She is very patient and kind, using only positive reinforcement, which was very important to us. She gives helpful feedback and homework. She was even available via text when we had an issue between training sessions. We still have her come back for follow up and walks. Highly recommend!

Our family can’t say enough great things about Stephanie! We brought home our first puppy about three years ago and Stephanie has been the most incredible resource alongside us on this journey. Admittedly, we had no idea what we were in for when we brought home our puppy. The journey has had many more challenges than we anticipated, and we couldn’t have done it without her. Before we even brought our puppy home, Stephanie was helping us to get educated and to prepare the environment for our pup’s arrival. And after that, she guided us along the many trials and tribulations of having a young dog from behavioral issues, to training, always providing us great information that helped us understand our doggo more. We definitely feel that we could not have developed this depth of respect and joy in our relationship with our pup without Stephanie. We continue to rely on her as things come up with our pup. We love her respectful and well- informed approach rather than the more domineering and punishing approaches taken by other trainers. She is one of our dog’s absolute favorite humans, as well as ours! Thank you, Stephanie for everything you do!

Last year, my family and I adopted a rescue who is incredibly affectionate and well-behaved at home. Unfortunately, we soon discovered that our furry friend suffers from major noise sensitivity (refusing to go out for walks in the morning because of garbage trucks and at night because she's afraid of fireworks). Additionally, she lunged/reacted nervously around any and all dogs that came too close. Lost in this new territory, a friend suggested that I look up evidence-based trainers in San Diego. After doing some research, I came across Stephanie Woodle - The Fairydog Mother. And let me tell you, I am BEYOND grateful that we found her! Stephanie is highly experienced in working with dogs with similar issues. She deeply understands their behavior and knows how to help them overcome their fears and anxieties. Not only that, but her prices are reasonable and she genuinely cares for each and every dog she works with. Since working with Stephanie, we have seen remarkable progress in our dog's behavior. She is now more confident and able to handle stressful situations much better. Stephanie's guidance and expertise have truly made a significant difference in our lives, and we cannot recommend her enough!
