Aligned K9

We had a great experience with Noelle and Aligned K9! Our dog Dexter went to training with Noelle, and we were incredibly impressed with both the experience and the progress he made. Noelle clearly has a great understanding of dogs and knew how to work with Dexter in a way that brought out the best in him. Dexter came home with great new skills and was noticeably better behaved. We could see that a lot of time, patience, and care went into his training. One thing we especially appreciated was how great Noelle was about sharing pictures and videos throughout Dexter's training. Not only did they allow us to see how well he was doing, but we can also go back and watch them as a refresher as we continue working with Dexter and reinforcing what he learned. Just as importantly, we felt completely comfortable knowing Dexter was in such great hands while he was away. Noelle was great to work with, and it was obvious that she genuinely cares about the dogs she trains. We couldn't be happier with the results and would highly recommend Noelle and Aligned K9 to anyone looking for an excellent dog trainer. Thank you, Noelle, for taking such great care of Dexter and helping him become an even better dog!

I cannot recommend Noelle enough! After a consultation she laid out three options to train our dog, but she did not push the most expensive one at us. She explained in detail why each one would work and what the drawbacks were. We ultimately went with board & train and it was WORTH IT! Noelle loved on our sweet dog in addition to training her well! The video updates were so helpful to see our dogs progress (and helped us not miss her as much 😉). In the videos, Noelle always explained what she was doing step by step and what she would do if a different scenario arose in the situation. We felt more prepared by watching the video updates when we picked up our dog and completed our take home lesson. It has made such a difference in our home life and walking our dog! It can be a lot to leave your dog with someone, but Noelle can be trusted! She gave us updates if our dog got cut or if she threw up. Noelle doesn’t just train dogs, she loves on them too! Thank you Noelle for all your amazing work with our sweet Stormy!

Noelle is the real deal. Deeply knowledgeable, patient with both dogs and owners, kind and calm, flexible and understanding. She has been a dependable source of help and care for our family dog over the past two years... first for basic dog training, then the occasional day for additional support, and now for board and trains when we travel. Cooper absolutely adores her and it brings us such peace of mind knowing he's happy and safe while also growing in his skills development. Noelle is truly such a gift and we can't recommend her highly enough.

If you’re looking for a dog trainer who is truly passionate about what they do and who is also friendly, patient, and exceptionally knowledgeable, then I highly recommend her board and train program. What stood out the most was that she took the time to listen to all of my concerns, answered every question thoroughly, and made me feel heard and supported from the first meeting for an evaluation of my reactive pup. My dog was with her for almost two months while I was overseas and she communicated very often and consistently sent videos with updates of my dog’s progress. It was clear that she genuinely cared about my dog. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such capable hands of a trustworthy trainer. 10/10 would recommend for anybody looking for a great dog trainer in SoCal!

I highly recommend Noelle for dog training! She is highly knowledgeable and communicative. We have worked with her now with two of our dogs and they both loved her. She does a wonderful job individualizing her approach based on their personalities and needs. She makes training fun and motivating for the dog but also knows how to set firm boundaries to an appropriate degree. She also is able to “proof” skills by incorporating in distractions (such as the presence of other dogs). This is great for people who only have 1 dog and cannot easily build an environment for this. Norlle shares videos of her training sessions and thoroughly explains what she is doing and why so we can continue the training at home and be consistent in our approach. She is capable of providing both basic training and specialized training. I am SO happy we found her!
