Noble Woof Dog Training PDX

Working with Meredith Jennings was a fantastic experience for both me and my dog, Penelope. Meredith was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and supportive, and she always took the time to explain the "why" behind the training exercises. Her positive, practical approach helped me better understand Penelope's behavior and gave me the tools and confidence to work through challenges at home. We've seen meaningful progress in Penelope's confidence, focus, and ability to handle guests and new situations. I highly recommend Meredith to anyone looking for a thoughtful and effective dog trainer.

Highly recommend training with Noble Woof! We started private training sessions with Jaime shortly after adopting our 4 month old rescue puppy and quickly discovering reading books and articles on training wasn't going to cut it. Jaime was so patient with our energetic pup and in answering our many questions, and so thoughtful in sharing resources and designing training that was appropriate for our puppy's temperament. She helped us better understand our puppy's behavior and coached us through different training games to work with him on key skills and particular challenges we were facing. After each session she sent a follow up email and helpful handouts that we could refer back to. Jaime is fantastic to work with and I wouldn't hesitate to work with her again or recommend her to others looking for a trainer.

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.

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 sought out Noble Woof for help with my reactive 3 year old mini Aussie, Murphy - we had tried group classes and while they were useful, they weren’t the best setting for Murphy to learn in, as an eager, excited dog with limited patience. We opted for private training with Meredith. I can’t recommend her/Noble Woof enough. She was great at breaking down the concepts, building on the skills she was teaching us and Murphy over time, and answering questions that we had about training. I saw a huge improvement in Murphy’s ability to self-regulate and stay calm in situations that had previously been triggering. Meredith helped Murphy become a more relaxed, comfortable dog, and gave us more tools for managing his behaviors before they escalated. The investment was absolutely worth it for his long-term well-being and our partnership.
