Learn about our in-home puppy training program!
AGES 8-24 WEEKS
Training for puppy biting, potty training, crate training, and basic obedience. We believe in setting every puppy and human up to succeed, using positive reinforcement training methods.
Raising a puppy is incredibly special, but it is also exhausting. Sometimes they’re picture perfect, (usually when they’re sleeping), but the rest of the time they behave like uninhibited, feral land sharks! You really want to get this right, and it turns out that puppy raising isn’t as straightforward as is written in the books!
Don’t worry! Puppy raising takes a village and you don’t have to do it alone. Our puppy training specialists travel to your home!
THIS IS HOW IT WORKS
The Four pillars of your Puppy Program
Socialize.
We will give you specific socialization tasks than are fun and easy
Your puppy’s critical socialization period only lasts from 8-16 weeks of age. Anything your puppy doesn’t experience during this period is likely to solidify as unsafe once encountered as an adult. Unfortunately, if not done strategically, exposure to novelty can be just as detrimental as no exposure at all.
Proper socialization is a well-studied science, and we can make it fun and easy for you!
Structure.
We will provide actionable prevention strategies right away so everyone can relax.
Our trainers will help you easily prevent common problem behaviors such as puppy biting, house soiling, separation anxiety, inappropriate chewing, counter surfing, barking, fear, and aggression.
We have very simple solutions to getting ahead of these common problems, even before we get to teaching basic manners skills!
Life skills.
We will give you training games you both will love that build strong and reliable skills that last.
Next, we will teach you effective and fun training games to teach manners around food, come when called, appropriate greetings, loose leash walking, learning to settle, focus around distractions, sit, down, and more.
You and your puppy will love working as a team and your skills will wow the world!
Relationship.
Enjoy your secure and thriving relationship, and feel confident continuing without us.
You’ve put the work in and your puppy is getting compliments on the streets from strangers. They know how to be calm even in chaotic environments. More importantly, they love being by your side.
Training is a journey, not a destination, but when you love the journey it doesn’t matter where you end up as long as you’re together.

“We started training with Noble Woof the second week we brought our puppy home. Noble Woof walked us through some GREAT tips for developing a confident and social dog that can settle. Not only did they help us understand how to train, they helped us understand why…

WHAT WE DO
We specialize in coaching new puppy parents to understand and teach their dog the foundations they need to live a healthy and happy life together.
At the end of each session you can expect to understand why you are practicing what you are, as well as how to execute each training game effectively.
This training is focused on training YOU to train with your puppy so you are just as skilled as they are at the end of the program!
WHAT YOU WILL DO
Between training sessions you will practice the training games your trainer taught you. This is where the real learning happens. In your next follow up, we will troubleshoot what didn’t work and how to be more effective next time, without ever shaming or blaming. We understand you are learning too, and we don’t expect perfection from any new learner.
Practicing with your dog will be the highlight of your day!
WHAT YOU WILL GET
You will get homework, along with a calm and well adjusted puppy.
After every session you will receive a Google Drive training folder complete with a post-session recaps, video notes, and a custom handout library. You will know exactly what exercises to practice and how often.
You will never love doing your homework more, and the return on your investment couldn’t be greater.
Let’s kick off your JOURNEY!
