The Noble Dogs - San Diego, California

I can't recommend Noble Dogs enough! From the moment we started working together, it was clear that he is an incredibly skilled and knowledgeable trainer. He has a remarkable ability to connect with dogs and understands their behavior deeply. What really stands out is his patience—he takes the time to explain techniques and is always calm and encouraging, which creates such a positive learning environment for my dog. The results have been impressive, with noticeable improvements in just a short amount of time. I’m so grateful for his help in transforming my dog's behavior, and I’m confident anyone would benefit from his expertise. Highly recommended!

I started working with Grant with the primary goal of getting comfortable having my dog off leash. After just two sessions, I am completely confident in my dog’s recall off leash. Grant is super responsive and clearly communicates goals and expectations. I have very few complaints with my experience so far!

Absolutely amazing and transformative! Grant is a professional dog trainer and his methods are positive. The results were immediate with my dog Franklin. Grant was recommended by my vet.

Franklin was a six month old puppy, and large, when we started working with Grant Noble. He was fearful of men, barked at every dog that walked by our house, jumped up on us, and used his mouth to nip and play. We took him one time to the dog park, and he was mobbed by other dogs, so he lashed out and attacked. That just made him more fearful, and I regretted making that mistake. Franklin would play fight with his brother dog at my house and would not stop unless we physically pulled him off. Finally, he would lash out uncontrollably at other dogs if we passed them on the leash while on a walk. That being said, Franklin was also a very sweet and smart dog, and took to commands quickly.

I knew I needed professional help and Grant was the perfect fit! With the combination of private training sessions, group training sessions and a three week period of boarding, Franklin grew into a confident dog and kept his sweet personality! During the boarding, Grant and his staff kept us intimately involved at each stage, teaching us the right way to give commands and reward good behavior.

The result of Grant's efforts and training: Franklin listens and obeys his commands immediately. His recall is strong. He no longer jumps up or barks at other dogs while on a walk, at the dog park or in the house. His walking is literally perfect: I never have to put any tension on the leash whatsoever. He walks by my side and responds to treat rewards. If I wanted to walk him off the leash, I could.

We opted to train with Grant and Franklin on an E-collar. I have the collar on him and I carry the remote, but I very infrequently have to use it because Franklin's obedience to verbal commands is so outstanding.

Grant taught us games and methods to use at home to reinforce Franklin's training. Grant even came to our house to give one of the training sessions.

As part of our training package, Grant is available to us for all of Franklin's life. We're able to attend weekend training group sessions and consult him on problems as needed. So far, though, Franklin's training has been outstanding!

Thank you, Noble Dogs, for helping Franklin become the best puppy version of himself now. I'm so glad that we invested in your training, Grant! It continues to be amazing.

Grant has changed our dogs lives for the better in less than 2 months!

We brought both our (5 month old and 4 year old) dog in for basic and advanced training, including basic commands, crate training, socialization and off leash training. Within 2 months both dogs were able to walk off leash in a suburban neighborhood.

Grants knowledge, experience and teaching method was second to none. He really takes time to teach you as the owner, which is just as important as teaching the dog. His training is centered around encouragement and guidance rather than discipline, as we make sure to put the dogs mentality first. He was able to help our 4 year old overcome a lot of confidence and anxiety issues as well as our 6 month old into having house manners of a senior dog.

We highly recommend you work with Grant for an amazing overall experience, not only for your dogs but for you as the owner.

My experience with Grant as our dog trainer has been nothing short of amazing. He trained my parents dog Gus who is perfectly behaved and wonderful off leash. Before we started, my dog Arlo was reactive and struggled to stay calm in various situations. Grant's expertise and patient approach changed all that.

From the very first session, it was evident that Grant possesses an incredible understanding of a dogs behavior. He not only taught Arlo essential obedience commands but also worked on Arlo's reactivity in a very effective manner. I paid for two sessions with grant and he really set us up for success to continue training from home. The difference between the two sessions was INCREDIBLE. the first session we had to start with basic training for 90 minutes. By the second session the “warm up” basic training was only 10 minutes and then straight to off leash training.

One of the standout aspects of Grant's training is his ability to tailor the sessions to Arlo's specific needs. He provided us with practical strategies and trainings to use in everyday situations to have arlo build up his respect for me as his trainer, ensuring that Arlo's progress was both sustainable and noticeable. The transformation in Arlo's behavior has been remarkable—he's now a much more relaxed and well-behaved dog when applying grants trainings.

I am grateful for Grant's dedication and the positive impact he has had on Arlo and his uncle Gus’ life! If you're looking for a very knowledgeable and effective dog trainer I highly recommend Grant. His training methods truly make a difference!

We have had an incredible experience working with Grant and highly recommend him to anyone in need of a skilled, compassionate dog trainer. From the first session, it was clear that he wants you to succeed and is passionate about helping dogs and their owners build a strong, positive relationship. Grant tailored every session to my dog's specific needs, offering clear instructions and patience throughout the process, we have done both private and the group trainings and look forward for the ones to come!!

Things we personally worked on and improved: walk/on leash training, commands (sit, down, get it,come), off leash training, and public setting exposure

We have a 5 month old dachshund named Tucker and before coming to Grant we were going bonkers trying to get him to walk on the leash or be in his crate alone. I’m not here to say grant performs miracles but he teaches you exactly what you need to do to make your dog happier and healthier.

We are just 2 training sessions in and seeing a huge improvement in overall obedience and commands with Tucker. We don’t need to use fear based approaches to get results and that’s my favorite part!!

Can’t wait to see what’s in store for Tucker in the future with the Noble dogs!!

Working with Grant & The Nobel Dogs Team was the best decision I made for my dog! He makes the entire process a positive experience for all involved, where the dogs really want to do the correct behaviors and enjoy doing them. After training with Grant, I am happier and my dog is happier too!

Grant is incredibly knowledgable about dog behavior and training, and is committed to continuing his education to ensure he provides the best and most update information. His one-on-one classes are incredibly helpful, as he provides practical real life training scenarios, thorough instructions, and takes the time to really understand the goals of his clients (both human & K9). His group classes, which are included in the training package, provide an excellent opportunity to practice the skills, ask questions, and see our training skills in action.

Not only am I happy with the training, my dog is too - you can tell by the way she jumps out of the car and runs to Grant every time we show up to the center or weekend classes! Would recommend Grant and Nobel Dogs to anyone and everyone!
