Learn to Love Training Together
We believe in setting every puppy and human up for success with evidence-based, positive reinforcement training.
New puppy parent, feeling a little overwhelmed? They're picture-perfect when they're sleeping — the rest of the time, more like an uninhibited feral land shark. Puppy raising is rarely as simple as the books make it sound. Our seven-week class will help turn that feral land shark into a bonafide Noble Pup!
"I could not be more grateful for this class! It helped me tremendously to feel like I know how to support my little pup."
— Happy Puppy Parent
WHAT TO EXPECT
A seven-week in-person series, one hour per class, up to six dog/handler teams with two trainers. You'll learn to teach your puppy basic skills using positive reinforcement — and how to prevent and reduce common problem behaviors, taught in a way that's easy and genuinely fun to learn.
"This course was a wonderful investment for our puppy. We feel supported and lucky to tap into the passion and advocacy for dogs that Noble Woof trainers have."
— Happy Puppy Parent

Has your puppy aged out?
Take our online Puppy Foundations E-Course!
"We aged out of the puppy 101 classes before a free slot opened, so we've been taking that class online. We were surprised to see how much information is available with the online classes and through just a few of those lessons we've learned more than entire group classes we've taken elsewhere. Once we graduate from the online puppy 101 class, we will definitely be back for the puppy 102 class and some of their special focus classes. Can't say enough good things about the trainers at Noble Woof!"
