We had a wonderful training session with Grant! He took the time to walk us through the fundamentals of touch, crate, and place training, helping us better understand how to create a more structured, calm, and balanced environment for our dog. Our goal is to help our dog build confidence, reduce his anxiety, and…
Grant is a great Trainer wonderful tips. I look forward to my next training visit with him!
Before hiring Grant at The Noble Dogs, walking my dog was a constant struggle. She would refuse to walk home, and I would often get stuck at the park or wherever we went because she would lock up on the leash and refuse to move. After just one session with Grant, I can now walk my dog home without her freezing up…
I had a wonderful experience! He was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and generous with his time, offering practical tips and thoughtful guidance as I navigate life with my energetic and sometimes unruly Goldendoodle. I really appreciated his patience, insight, and genuine willingness to help me figure out the…
Grant is super knowledgeable and in even just a short time, my husband and I learned soooo much. He’s able to explain things in digestible and understandable ways. He’s inquisitive and asks for more details so he can really understand the full picture before giving any specific direction or plan, which I thought was…
Positive experience! Had a great conversation with Grant. A++
We first worked with Grant with a foster dog who had significant behavioral issues, couldn’t walk on a leash, and had never been inside a house. He worked wonders with her, so when we got our puppy, Grant was the first person we called. Our goal was to prepare our puppy for service dog work, including traveling on…
I had a coaching session with Grant today and really appreciated how helpful and knowledgeable he was! We talked through some of the challenges I’ve been having with my dog, including reactivity and off-leash training, and he gave me clear, practical advice on what I can start working on right away. I came away with…
We’ve had such a great experience working with Grant! He has helped not only our puppy, but also us, learn the skills and tools we need to set everyone up for success. With two young kids at home, getting the right training in place early was really important to us, and Grant has made the whole process feel so much…
I can’t recommend Grant highly enough! When I first started working with him, my dog struggled with a lot of reactivity/anxiety, alert barking, and pulling on the leash. I had worked with other trainers in the past and, despite my efforts, I had never been able to make lasting progress with these behaviors. Working…
Grant has helped us immensely with getting comfortable taking our 4 year old ultra-high-energy dog off-leash and taking her out with us in public. We weren't sure it would be possible given her curiosity and reactivity and were extremely nervous about it. Grant worked with us, was very adaptable to any hesitations…
I just got off my first call with Grant, and I just wanted to say how kind, professional, and informative he was. He took the time to understand the issues and make a clear and customized plan forward. I’m really hopeful that as a team we are going to help my anxious yorki 💗 we have our work cut out for us!
Grant has been amazing so far. Within one phone call and lesson I've seen dramatic improvement with my puppy. Looking forward to more!
Grant is incredibly patient and focused on safety. He helped crate train our 3 month old rottweiler puppy and helped us learn to better focus her energy and attention. Hire with confidence!
Grant is awesome, he trained my son and his husbands (Larry and Steve) dog Lucky. Lucky has never behaved better. I’m able to dog sit for them now with no issues. He is the sweet dog he was always meant to be. Thank you Grant!
Easy to work with, very knowledgeable, and pricing is very fair for the level of service.
I hired Grant right away after I completed his online form and hit sent! He called back within five minutes. We scheduled a time for him to meet my family and our Doberman puppy, Dasha within a few days. Grant is the best! He first said we needed to wait for Dasha to be six months. But he gave us several…
Grant is an excellent trainer. My dog and I have a far better relationship after getting help from Noble Dogs. If you care about your pet, you’ll take the time to learn Grant’s principles and train with them every day. This was an extremely positive experience, and my dog also loved seeing Grant whenever they…
We had a great experience working with Grant at Noble Dogs! He helped us learn how to properly train our puppy, Roxy, and gave us the tools we needed to work on her basic walking manners and leash skills. Grant was patient, knowledgeable, and really took the time to explain not only what we should be doing, but…
Grant has helped me with my dog's reactivity which she has had for years. Getting down the basics and actually correcting the behavior, not just implementing more training. My dog has improved tremendously in only 2 months from barking and lunging to walking in heel calmly near another dog. Highly recommend Grant for people with dog reactivity!
I am the owner of the dog shown in the video that is currently circulating online and resulting in negative reviews of Grant’s business. Our little rescue puppy was afraid of nearly everything—paper blowing in the wind, balls, and especially her leash. Before working with Grant, she would completely freeze and…
Grant has been extremely helpful with training my 5 month old puppy. My puppy was really struggling with severe separation anxiety and was not trusting of other dogs or other people. Within the very first session, Grant completely transformed my puppy. He worked with my puppy and me in my own home so that my puppy…
My wife and I worked with Grant to help us train our Malinois/shepherd puppy and we are so grateful we did. He’s not only helped train our dog, but trained us as owners and equipped us with such valuable skills and knowledge... It’s amazing how much he knows about dogs and people, we learned priceless tips and…
Grant has succeeded in calming our reactive dog.Our dog no longer barges through the front door or gate. Our dog is learning to heel. We highly recommend Grant for anyone who wants a well behaved dog.
Grant Noble has had an exceptional impact on our wild and difficult to control puppy Nellie Belle. At our first meeting and training lesson he has had her under control and taught us proper training methods that include: Leash, commands, rewarding, body position when walking with leash. Best of all is Grant's…
I contacted Grant to help with a few things for my dog and he helped me with so much! We've been working on his separation anxiety so he can become more comfortable and confident alone and on his reactivity towards other dogs. I'd been struggling quite a bit before Grant's help and going on walks and leaving Tintin…
Grant from The Noble Dogs has made my dog training experience absolutely excellent! I began training to address reactivity towards other dogs in my 2 year old lab mix. Shortly after enrolling in training, I saw results almost instantly. My dog (who was once pulling me down the street every day) is now learning to be…
Milo went in to Grant's training a very nervous pup! Grant identified that Milo lacked confidence which caused him to focus so much on survival mode that he could barely listen to commands. Grant worked on his confidence, and taught me commands that Milo is receptive to, on and off leash. Milo listens really well…
We are so thrilled we were referred to Grant. He was a life saver in helping us think about how to best prepare our homes and hearts for a dog. As first time dog owners, we were nervous about being ready and wanted to make sure we would be good dog parents. Grant is a wealth of information and it is clear he cares…
Talked to Grant during my consultation, he was very informative about how to fix my dog’s reactive behavior. Was very clear on what the plan would be and the steps to fixing the issue.
Thanks for your expertise with helping us training our puppy Theo! We are dedicated to having Theo grow up to be a “Noble Dog” 😊
If you’re looking for a dog trainer who truly understands dogs behavior, I highly recommend The Noble Dogs. Grant is incredibly knowledgeable and takes the time to create a customized training plan that fits both the dog and the owner. His approach to reactive dog training, proactive training, crate training, leash…
Working with Grant and The Noble Dogs has been such an impactful experience. Before my family started training with Grant, owning our dog had become stressful, to say the least. Our dog would jump on everyone out of excitement, nip at people, and constantly pull on the leash during walks. This was especially…
Grant at Noble Dogs was excellent. Did a wonderful job training our dog. I highly recommend Grant at Noble Dogs!
Absolutely Life Changing Experience! Grant Is Truly A Magician At His Work & Our Family Is Forever Grateful! He Provided A Enormous Amount Of Knowledge & Guidance For My Daughter And I To Teach Our New Labrador Puppy The Difference Between Right & Wrong Step By Step. Instant Results On Our First Session! Truly Mind…
With his help and behavior correction techniques, my dog Pepe has become a much calmer and more confident dog. One of the main issues we were struggling with was excessive barking, and by consistently following what we learned throughout the classes, the barking has significantly improved and continues to decrease.…
Grant is very knowledgeable about dogs of all temperaments, well-versed in why the methods he teaches are effective, and very patient with dogs as well as their owners. It was beneficial for us and our rescue, McCoy, who is now much calmer and behaves far better than previously, to work with Grant. We highly recommend him.
Grant is a highly experienced dog trainer that understands the behavioral responses of untrained dogs. After one session, he provided a ton of value and we saw an incredible improvement with our puppy’s behavior related to crate training and walking on a leash. Grant makes the training interactive and fun and…
Grant at the Noble Dog has been amazing to work with. He’s incredibly passionate about helping not only the dogs, but also us as owners. We’ve learned just as much as our pup throughout the process. Before training, our dog was extremely reactive toward other dogs, which made walks and everyday life very stressful.…
Working with Grant has completely changed our lives with our mini dachshund, Wellie. He is now incredibly well trained, and we genuinely have peace of mind when it comes to everyday life with him whether that’s going on walks, being around people, or even traveling across the world with him. What truly sets Grant…
