My sweet boy Oliver loves everyone but other dogs. Stephanie has patiently worked with us on learning to calmly and quickly respond to triggers. Stephanie has been a lifesaver! She trains in a loving and compassionate way that helps build a better bond with your dog.

Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat people have asked about this business.
Do you board and train?
I don't because I want you to build a relationship through training. So I want to teach you how to train your dog; therefore board and train would be counterproductive to that.

I’ve had the best experience with Waggin’ Tails. Stephanie has been really great. She is easy to work with and has made “training” Penny so much fun. I have had 4-5 sessions and have seen a dramatic change in my bond with Penny. It’s been almost like magic with how much more attentive, responsive and affectionate Penny has become. I honestly was not expecting this type of outcome when a Stephanie was teaching me fun games to play and gently pointing out what I was doing to make things harder for Penny. In a pretty short amount of time by following Stephanie’s advice, I have a better relationship with Penny and a really good dog is now an even better dog. Happy customer!!
Wendy had been excellent helping us adapt our style and coaching us to adapt to our dog and set him and us up for success. I’d definitely recommend private training with Wendy.
Stephanie is excellent. My husband and I have always wanted to be good pet parents but we set ourselves up for failure by thinking it would come natural. The best thing we did was invest in training with Stephanie. Our chonky chocolate lab is still a goofball, but we have learned so many new skills during our 4 sessions and feel confident in the future with our new family member.

I am an experienced dog owner. I haven’t been without a large dog for most of my adult life. I came to Stephanie when I started having trouble with Maverick, my big mutt, pushing humans around. Physically and metaphorically. Mav loves her and is so receptive. She has helped us immensely. We have been training with her for over a year and will continue to train with her weekly. Stephanie is adaptive and fluid with her technique. Maverick is much more relaxed since Stephanie walked into our lives. I am a much more confident handler and owner of, what used to be, a highly reactive dog. Just today my best friend walked into my house and was blown away with the progress in his behavior. My “enthusiastic greeter”, as I’ve heard him called, was relatively calm. Still very excited, but didn’t jump on her as he had in the past. Both Maverick and I are very lucky to have found such an amazing trainer (and human) to be in our lives. I am so grateful for Stephanie and her easy-to-learn training technique.
