About Amy’s Dog Training

Have you ever wondered what your dog is thinking? Or ever wished that they would just listen to you? How about going for a peaceful walk through your neighborhood, with a calm dog by your side? The doorbell rings and they only bark until you tell them that, that’s enough? Have you ever pictured yourself with your silly, happy dog, who never runs off, playing together at the beach? All of these things are possible and attainable - WITHOUT using any correction tools or collars! By strictly using just your voice. I’ve been teaching humans how to understand, communicate with, and train their dogs since 1995. I use a practical, positive-based approach to transform relationships between humans and their furry companions. Schedule a call today

    I do this not just to work with animals, but to help people. I listen to all my clients and find out their goals with their dogs, cats, or horses, so that I can progressively work towards those goals each and every time we meet. This produces a strong trust and communication between myself and my ...

What people have asked about this business.

Hello, do you have a specialist who works with behavioral problems. Resource guarding, in particular, in adult dog? Thank you

Yes! Amy has trained dogs of all ages and does specialize in correcting severe behavioral issues and all forms of aggression. Resource guarding is a common case that Amy has helped in many breeds over her thirty years of experience. She uses body language, positive reinforcement and force-free methods to accomplish this by relying on the dogs’ natural instincts, functionality and their own individual ways of communication

My husband and I reached out to Amy about 3 years ago to help us with our ball of energy pitbull. Amy took her in for what was suppose to be 2 weeks but our pup decided to act like an angel so for no extra charge Amy kept her for an additional 2 weeks to observe the bad behaviors and help correct them. Being a pit owner it has been difficult and heartbreaking to get dismissed and denied because of her breed, but Amy welcomed her wholeheartedly. Since then we use the boarding service she offers whenever we go on vacation and can enjoy our time knowing our fur baby is being well taken care of. We highly recommend her services to everyone.

Amy is an amazing trainer! She has been distance training me and my dog, Lucy, as we live on the East Coast. She is very patient with us and answers even the littlest questions. She is very knowledgeable. I highly recommend her to help with your dog.

Do you have a dog that needs help? One that needs to learn how to be a good canine family member? One that needs to break bad habits? Or you need to understand your dog, especially if choosing to add a specific breed to your family? Then you need Amy! Amy is an expert in her field, and will be honest, and diligent with any client. She doesn't just train the dog, she trains the family too so the dog can be a polite member of society. Her patience and no nonsense approaches are great assets to any dog and family needing help. Can't get to Amy? No worries there either! She can do long distance consults, tele-training, videos, and help you to help your dog. We all have a device these days, so it's easy for her to be in touch and teach you what you need to know. There's a difference here in that Amy doesn't just train your dog; with her deep knowledge of animal behavior and breed specific quirks, she can help you figure out how to be a successful human, as much as she helps your dog figure out good behaviors. Every dog is different, and it's nice that she takes the time to get to know you and your dog because she really understands that a one size fits all approach doesn't work. She's also not afraid to take on some of the tougher cases, and is honest to a fault about what she can and can't do. But she's helped many dogs to really bloom into the good dogs they are by working diligently to find solutions based on behavioral sciences and best practices. So you can go with someone else, but why would you want to? Your dog is your best buddy, your fur-kid, and your zen in a crazy world. They deserve the best, and frankly, so do you! Keep the happy going in your relationship with your dog. Break bad habits and develop skills that make your dog the envy of the dog park. If you're still reading this, this is your sign to call her and get on her training schedule, even if you're not down the street. I'm half the nation away and am lucky that I've gotten to have Amy help me and my dogs. And with wanting to train a therapy dog soon, I'm glad she could use her knowledge to help me know what to look for in a dog, puppy, and parents, and what to avoid so that my chosen dog and I will be a successful team. Make sure you tell your dog I said hi, then go reach out to Amy!

I found Amy online almost 2 years ago. I was unexpectedly debating about getting a service dog for myself and was toying with the idea of doing dog training myself. Amy was with me before I even purchased my dog. She walked me through pros and cons, gave me reassurance, and was so supportive throughout everything. She has been there for me and my dog through health issues, training issues, and lending an ear when I am at my wits end. She and my dog Maverick have a great bond and she is a wonderful trainer. She is always there for us and helps in any way that she can. She is affordable and very convenient. She is super knowledgeable and meets the family where they’re at. Amy offers boarding for clients which is a wonderful option because I know Maverick is loved and well looked after if I ever need to be away. I always recommend Amy Noble to any and all pet owners who are looking for dog training. She has been a godsend to me and my journey and I couldn’t do this without her.

When we adopted Fritzi from Stockton shelter it was literally her last day before euthanasia. Words like “highly reactive” and untrainable were used. Because of a desperate email appeal from a shelter worker. we went to see her. We could see the extent of her troubling behavior but recognized it as fear rather aggression. Being elderly, the thought of bringing home a young dog much in need of training with daunting. I will not lie, there were times. At first we wanted to pull out our hair and return the dog. We inquired many places about trainers and werevery fortunate to be guided to Amy Noble through several sources. It’s not an exaggeration to say that Amy saved Fritzi’s life. From being a complete terror on the leash and threatening every other dog she encountered on walks, she became far calmer and willing to greet other dogs without showing any aggression. Amy guided us through what training Exercises she needed and spent time with Fritzi alone as well as days that we went through her routines with Amy. We consider the time and money spent in training to be invaluable. As Fritzi turns three at the end of this year, we’re sure that our lives together are going to be harmonious and filled with affection. I don’t know any other way to say it, Amy has worked a miracle. We’re so glad we found her (and found Fritzi, too.). We keep going back to Amy with questions about health and reinforcing her good behaviors. When she boards with Amy, we are absolutely confident that the right behaviors will be rewarded and she will have a good time with Amy’s other dogs. We know we’re lucky to have come to this place with the right dog and certainly the right trainer! Jane David
