Ann is so kind and was so helpful teaching me how to work with my corgi and understand how she thinks and behaves! I am so thrilled with Ann’s guidance and demonstrations with my dog on how to work with her! She is amazing and has such great advice and resources to aid in training! 10/10. I highly recommend reaching out to her for your dogs' training needs!!

If you are looking for a dependable, organized, understanding, and patient dog trainer, I highly recommend Ann.  I would consider her a real fairy dog mother.  With her quiet voice and using hand signals to teach commands is remarkable, especially when working with two 1yr old puppies at the same time.  She had both of my boys trained within 5 minutes after meeting them with the basic commands.  Truly remarkable and impressive.   She provides you with information on everything you want/need to know.  Ann has just as much patience for the owner as well.  Ann is not only the lady who trains dogs but has become a special and good friend to me and my boys.  We love her!

Ann Coffey has many years of experience training dogs and, just as important, their owners. Ann truly understands dogs. She takes the time to listen to what the owners perceive as the problems and the solutions they desire, and she assesses how the owner(s) interact with their dog(s) before giving suggestions and deciding on a training plan. She genuinely loves dogs and is very patient and kind.

Ann was extremely knowledgeable and spent much time with us, giving us the tools and information we needed to work with our dog. She was extremely supportive and kind, and we were so thankful for her help and guidance.

Ms. Fairy Dogmother has been a godsend for me and Oreo. My baby was 6 months old when she came into our life. I have learned so much, and we enjoy our daily "school" time as we continue to practice what we have learned. I would highly recommend this lady to teach you and your fur baby.

Excellent trainer and sitter. I have used her for both; she was and is great for both. I had a last-minute funeral to attend, and I called Ann to take care of my fur babies, and she was there, and I know I didn't have to worry while I was gone. She is also working with my hyper golden doodle, and we are actually doing so much better. We can go to outdoor restaurants and take nice walks, and she mostly listens to her commands. She is a very good choice, and she will help your fur babies. She is the one to call.

I highly recommend Ms. Fairy Dogmother for your pet's training. She is very professional, caring, and loving, and she takes the time needed to work with you, whatever your needs are. She came to our house and spent quality time with us and our dog, Bentley. She makes herself available to you if you have any questions or concerns about your pet. Dont hesitate to call her today!

Ann was such a blessing to us. She helped us figure out what was causing our dog's behavior and gave us very beneficial tips, videos, and references! Definitely recommend!

We were first-time dog owners. Ann started us with the basics and moved forward at an appropriate level for our learning. She is friendly, easy to understand, organized, practical, and very positive. We also loved her sense of humor. Our corgi Georgia was a quick learner with Ann. She can read the situation and adapt her lessons to go with where you are in your training. She is consistent and knows way more than we ever covered. Ann is a professional, from teaching search and rescue dogs to family dogs. And best of all, our puppy Georgia loves her!

Ms. Fairy Dogmother has helped us turn our wild 1-year-old German Shepherd into a joyful young gentleman. He is now dependable enough to have the run of the house, yard, and close-knit neighborhood. He gets along with everyone and all the animals in the neighborhood. He has turned into a fun and relatively dependable dog thanks to Ms. Fairy Dogmother. Thank you, Ann, for saving our wonderful Rocky. I now have his reactiveness under control enough to confidently take him to almost any place. Ann has become a great friend to both of us and Rocky.

We took into our lives a puppy Labrador Retriever. We wanted Sierra not to cream someone when they came in the door. Sierra learned so much more! Ann taught Sierra and taught us. Sierra loved Ms. Fairy Dogmother and would lay at the door and mourn for her when she left after training sessions.

She has been the answer to our prayers, as we don’t trust our fur babies to just anyone! We hope you give her the opportunity to help you as she has helped us! 

Shelby, Azle, TX

The session was helpful and full of practical skills and troubleshooting techniques for problem behaviors. Our two dogs loved the session. Thanks!!! 

Jennifer, Azle, Tx

Ann is knowledgeable and can help with whatever you and your dog may need, whether training a new dog, behavior problems, or whatever else you need. She knew exactly how to train my dog, Dozer, with her behavior issues. Thank goodness.

Ann trained both my dog and me. I soon got the confidence to be more at ease with my pup at home and, importantly, with other dogs. I learned a lot from Ann's calm and knowledgeable assessment of my dog's personality and her style of training works. I have a better relationship with my dog, and we both love Ann!

Working with my dog on his AKC Novice and Intermediate Trick Dog certification, Ms. Fairy Dogmother was great. Ann is a great communicator, and it was terrific working with her. I look forward to continuing working with her on the next levels! 

 Susanna, Walnut Creek, CA

Ms. Fairy Dogmother is fantastic!  She came to our home and helped our little Coconut -- a recent rescue - with potty training and to help her from constantly licking us!  She gave resources after each of our meetings and did a wonderful job giving us practical advice.  She also recommended some products and techniques for getting doggie urine from our carpets.  She was also a lovely person and a joy to work with.  My eight-year-old loved her, too!  Highly recommend.

My Jack Russell Terrier was extremely timid, unruly, and a submissive wetter. She was especially skittish around men and would piddle nearly every time my husband, Dave, approached her. Jesse was afraid of strangers and, true to form, was very wary of Ann at the first visit. However, by the end of the visit, Jesse was no longer shying away and was even approaching Ann on her own. After only a few sessions with Ann,  Jesse gained confidence and is quickly learning obedience (and even cute tricks!) We are all reaping the benefits of Ann's expertise.

I have had the opportunity to watch Ann work with dogs and their owners. She has a fantastic way with dogs. Her "Dog Safety" presentation at the Avon Library kept the kids laughing while learning. Around town, Ann is great with people with their questions. In addition, her highly trained dog, Shellie, hardly misses a chance to perform her skills and tricks.

I called her for help with my two nine-month-old male Great Danes. At 130 lbs. each, all they knew was how to pull and jump. My Danes dragged my 17-year-old son and me anywhere they pleased. Ann showed us the proper and humane training collars and safe body mechanics using leashes. It was a joy to see both dogs heeling with her, watching her, and wagging their tails. By the start of the second session, my son and I could control both dogs. I am especially impressed at Ann's variety of appropriate and effective training methods tailored to meet each dog and owner's situation. I highly respect and endorse the training methods, manner, and expertise of Ann Coffey of Ms. Fairy Dogmother. Friends, dog lovers, and veterinarians spoke of Ann's excellent skills. We are fortunate to have Ann Coffey in our community.

Luther, a shepherd/chow mix, had real aggressive and bossy issues to deal with. His devotion made him very protective, and it took our determination and Ann's professional abilities to design the proper program for us. She was an encouraging teacher and coach. We saw major improvements at each session and had a lot of homework that was both fun and productive. We have truly gained a new family member that we can enjoy because he is now calmer and lets us direct him. We can never thank Ann enough for giving us such pleasure.

We are and have been owners of show-quality English Mastiffs. We purchased a male puppy from a Memphis, TN, breeder of English Mastiffs. Soon after we arrived home, we began a search for a trainer. Since we intended to show him in the Conformation Ring, we selected Ann Coffey to serve as the trainer of our new puppy dog, Ethan. We are fortunate to have Ms. Fairy Dogmother in our community. Ann is a dog trainer of the highest caliber, and we recommend her as such.

"Mr. Christmas" could not have been made without the help of Ann Coffey and her outstanding training skills. Her dog, Shellie, is a star.

Charlie, our purebred Maltese puppy, was the largest, strongest, and most hard-headed puppy of the litter. Despite Charlie's everyday attempts to master his trainer, he never succeeded. Ann's routine (which blended a no-nonsense approach with an equal measure of love) had Charlie eating out of her hand. We could not be more satisfied or happier with the results achieved by Ann. Charlie is a proud, stable Maltese and a loving and much-loved pet. Thanks, Ann.

We contacted our Vet to see who they would recommend for puppy training. We had a very out-of-control Weimaraner puppy. They recommended Ms. Fairy Dogmother. From the first moment she came to our home, Ann began to command respect from Shadow (our puppy). It was just fun to watch her work with him and see how quickly he responded to her direction. In our opinion, Ann showed much concern for the dog's safety and welfare and brought up issues that we had not considered before. We are very fond of Ann and highly recommend her whenever we get.

Regarding Ann Coffey, I am very pleased with her training of Sparky and Lily! Ann provided lots of educational materials and information. Good follow-through. On top of all that, her methods worked with the dogs and my family. Her compassion for my animals was wonderful enough, but she also stressed safety issues to make sure my kids and customers would be safe around them. I really appreciated all her input and abilities.
