welfare-centered DOG TRAINING & Human Coaching Services
For Every Age & Stage of Your Dog’s Life
Our premier team of certified dog trainers use fear-free, positive reinforcement methods to strengthen the human-animal bond and improve behavior outcomes.
With a thorough understanding of behavior sciences Noble Woof helps establish clear lines of communication so you and your dog can start having meaningful conversations. Through positive and reward based training systems, we nurture dogs in such a way that they become excited to offer the behaviors we deem culturally appropriate in our homes and society.
“Noble Woof’s teaching style reaches so many different learning types. I only wish I’d found them sooner! Forever grateful.”
-Katrina & Takaia
“Noble Woof was patient, insightful and an incredible source of knowledge. It was adorable to watch his excitement when he would see his trainer, but more Importantly she was wonderful at training me!”
-Danielle & Luka
“From the first session to who she is now is night and day. She’s a lot more confident, she looks to us for direction, and overall seems to be a free dog.”
-Ryan & Millie
“I cried, I said I couldn’t commit to that much work, I got angry…All the emotions. Noble Woof patiently guided me and now I have a dog who quietly waits for me to come home. I’m forever thankful.”
-Rebecca & Patty

We help you develop healthy training habits that support your goals and relationships for life.
Our certified dog trainers use clicker training to strengthen the human-animal bond and improve behavior outcomes. Through positive and reward based training systems, we create dogs who are excited to offer the behaviors we deem culturally appropriate in our homes and society.
We have a knack for making the process fun and achievable for our clients.
We know dog training is our passion but not necessarily our clients' passion, so we will work with you to make it as achievable and efficient as is possible given the complexity of the unique dog in front of us, and your unique situation. We are here to collaborate with you!
Do you Know Your Dog’s Core Needs?
When we work with our dog’s natural instincts rather than against them the battle stops, real training begins, and “human’s best friend” is born!
Behavior change starts by meeting their canine needs!
Canine Enrichment and Welfare in Portland, Oregon
With heavily instinct-driven brains, dogs aren’t ‘born to please’ as much as they are born opportunists. As such, they need our clear and calm guidance to understand what is expected of them in this very human world. Just about everything a dog does is “inappropriate” from a human’s point of view. Sniffing each others’ butts, wrestling, yelling at each other from across the street, tearing up our belongings, digging in the garden, and eating poop are all very natural doggy behaviors that unfortunately don’t often match up to our human expectations. In order to know how to lead our four legged friends, we must first crack the mystery behind why our dog behaves the way they do! This means decoding the ins and outs of typical breed characteristics, canine body language, core canine needs, species-specific behavior, and the dog’s individual personality and needs as well. Understanding what makes our dog tick gives us the key to what motivates them!
YOUR DOG DESERVES THIS!
