Noble Woof Dog Training PDX

We worked with Valerie to help us figure out a plan for our two rescue dogs. They had lived together for the past few years but recently had escalated in reactivity regarding specific areas of our house. Valerie came in and took stock of the situation and gradually helped us all gain confidence back in our daily routines. I'm so grateful for all of the help in a situation that felt incredibly overwhelming in the beginning of the year (especially as I had to also have back surgery in January) and now we have routines and structures in place that make everyone feel comfortable. Our dogs loved the training and all of the treats and really looked forward to each training session. I can't recommend it enough and would pay for it over again to feel as comfortable as we do now!

I am WAY too late in writing out this review, but I needed to make sure it was there for people to see.\n\nWe worked with Valerie across two separate training packages with our nervous, anxious, and reactive boy, Zeke. Valerie was such a boon to our relationship with Zeke and for getting him so much more comfortable with his day-to-day.\n\nI am thrilled to say that Zeke has grown from a dog too anxious to be outside for 5 minutes, to a dog that can have other dogs and people walk by our yard WITHOUT reacting! It's still an ongoing process, but the guidance provided by Valerie has been integral to getting him to this point.\n\nIf the rest of the staff at Noble Woof are even half as helpful and insightful as Valerie, then I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for guidance and mentorship for you and your pup!\n\nThank you, Valerie!

We found Noble Woof while looking for help with our anxious dog, Eneldo, who had become increasingly fearful around other dogs and people. Working with Valerie Peck made such a difference for all of us. She is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and truly pays attention to what our pup is communicating. Our sessions completely changed the way Eneldo and I understand and work with each other. We saw huge progress not only in his behavior, but also in his confidence and ability to relax around others. We feel very lucky to have worked with her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for thoughtful, positive training support.

I can’t say enough good things about Noble Woof! The group classes we’ve taken with our two adult dogs have been excellent, particularly Christina’s Relaxation and Focus-Work. Our earlier wonderful experiences led to us enrolling our new puppy in puppy socials and Puppy Playschool, and we’re just beginning Puppy 101! Brie, Christina, Clara, Meredith, Jamie and the rest of the staff here are caring, compassionate and deeply knowledgeable about both the theory and practice of modern dog training.\n\nI’m not new to dog guardianship or training, but I continue to learn a ton from all our experiences here, and my relationships with all three of our dogs and my handling skills have improved exponentially as a result. The focus on building joyful and supportive relationships with our dogs through communication and training is invaluable.

I was impressed by our puppy 101 classes - instructors were prepared and structured classes with a good progression of skills to work on. We also attended a few puppy socials, which we enjoyed. Later, when my pup turned 1, I was looking for something to engage his brain, tire him out, and give me a break from dog-momming! Day training was a perfect solution.\n\nOur trainer, Lauren, was great about asking what skills my dog needed help with, providing helpful notes and videos from the day's training, and suggesting actionable things we could try at home. Additionally, the day training environment was setup so that Lauren could work on things with my dog that would be pretty hard for me to orchestrate at home - using other dogs as distraction and also for supervised playtime! I would recommend the day training program to anyone looking to work on specific behaviors or skills and/or to anyone just looking for something to tire out their dog's brain during the week to keep them out of trouble at home!
