Nora has helped us to save our relationship with our rescue dog. She teaches effective techniques that are easy to implement. Highly recommend the private in home sessions for anyone needing help quickly. Looking forward to continuing with several of her courses in the future! Thanks Nora!

Nora is one of the best trainers out there!! Super knowledgeable and super caring, she really makes sure her students understand the subject and enjoy her classes. I have taken intermediate obedience, stick around, rattlesnake avoidance and now nose work 1. Each class has taught me so much and my dog has enjoyed the unique challenges each class brings. I also recently started private lessons with my fearful rescue puppy, and he is getting more confident daily. Both my dogs love going to work with Nora!! Can't wait to continue working with her. Cannot recommend Best Dog enough!!!

What a fun class! Sammy the border collie highly recommends Nora as a trainer and teacher! I appreciate your knowledge and your easy manner. We had a blast and will see you again at your next obedience class! PS: your recommended harness is a game changer for Sam!

I really appreciate Nora's positive reinforcement training. We've got one rescue dog in here Obedience 1, and one doing some reactive privates. Our rescue has gotten more confident, not to mention obedient. Our reactive pup has gotten more relaxed and we've learned some techniques to help her be a happy dog. Hope to include her in a future obedience or reactive class. I recommend Nora for all your Monument+ dog training needs. I was very impressed with her reactive private training - our dog learned very fast!

We completed three private sessions with Nora to help address our dog's reactivity to other dogs on walks. Nora was a pleasure to work with, and provided clear guidance and strategies for us to use and practice with our dog between sessions. She introduced new skills and exposure to other dogs in a way that was structured and comfortable for us and our dog. We've seen steady improvement in our dog's reactivity to other dogs on walks, and we feel much more confident in supporting and managing his behavior. We had a great experience and definitely recommend her services!

Our new puppy has been learning how to be on his best behavior in Nora’s Puppy Class. Nora gives meaningful, calm and purposeful instructions to the class and works with the puppy’s limited attention span to develop a good set of skills towards a balanced and happy adult dog. We really look forward to class every week and our puppy can’t wait to learn and play with his buddies! An added benefit is he is pooped by the end of class and snoozes the rest of the day! Highly recommend Best Dog for training your puppy.

My 18 months Labradoodle is doing so much better after her Reactive classes with Nora. If you are looking for a trainer who is compassionate to your loved baby, and uses positive teaching methods, not scolding , no e-collar, shocking or chocking collars, and you want to enjoy while you educate, interact positively with your dog, and your dog has fun while learning. Nora is your place. Thank you Nora, I definitely will be taking your Intermediate Obedience class and Reactive II, if you decide to open this class in spring 2022.
The most important professional qualities of Nora are calm courteous direction and answers. Nora builds you and your pup up to succeed.
You can’t teach kindness, you have to be kind.
Nora has nailed it and we are grateful.

Nora is so knowledgeable and patient! She was able to give us the tools we needed to set our new pup up to be a happy and well behaved part of our family. We are excited to continue with more of Nora's classes in the future!
