“When we first adopted her, she was shaking in her boots with everything, but with Noa’s guidance, Sandy has become a confident pup. Noa also gave us the confidence to be the pawrents Sandy needed. She actively listens to your concerns and her holistic approach to training and care has made a world of difference.

We can’t thank Noa enough for the patience, expertise, and kindness she showed both us and Sandy. If you’re looking for someone to bring out the best in your dog, Noa is the one to call! Highly recommend!”

“Our dog Artie was rescued from Ensenada, Mexico, where he had clearly been neglected, and when we adopted him he was starting completely from scratch—no basic commands, lots of nervous energy, and some reactivity around other dogs. We’ve done both 1:1 sessions and group classes, and both have been really helpful. The private sessions gave us a solid foundation, and the group classes have been great for socialization and working through some reactivity issues. We’ve seen real improvement, not just during training but day to day.

Noa is patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. We’re really proud of how far Artie has come and grateful to Noa for helping him get there. Highly recommend.”

“We originally reached out because Chili was becoming reactive to bikes, cars, & other dogs, and walks had become stressful and unpredictable. Noa helped us understand that those reactions were rooted in lack of impulse control and emotional regulation.

Across 5 sessions, I learned more than i expected to. As we focused on the basics, Chili became more grounded and better able to handle her big emotions, even around her biggest triggers.

I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for dog training, just prepare for your dog to like Noa more than you ! Chili will miss her expensive treats lol”

“I had a wonderful experience working with Noa at Whole Damn Dog through virtual training sessions to help my 9-year-old wire fox terrier with resource guarding issues.

Noa was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and supportive, and provided clear, practical techniques that were easy to implement right away. The sessions were personalized to my dog’s specific needs and behavior, and I started seeing improvement quickly.

This experience reminded me that it is never too late to seek guidance from an expert trainer, even with an older dog. Most importantly, Noa helped me feel more confident and empowered as a dog owner, and this training truly made a difference for both me and my dog.

I highly recommend Whole Damn Dog to
anyone dealing behavioral challenges — especially resource guarding.”

“I can’t recommend Noa highly enough!! She’s helped my dog learn how to soothe himself and navigate his anxiety in ways that no one else has been able to achieve. He is improving every single day!

What makes her even more exceptional is that she basically trained me too lol. She’s helped me better understand my dog, my own responses, and how to show up calmly and confidently for him. She’s taught me strategies and tools that I’d never have figured out myself and I’m finally equipped with the knowledge I need to redirect my dog’s behavior!

It’s not an easy path but in only 5 sessions with her, the progress we’ve made has been life-changing for both me & Theo. I’m so grateful for her patience, insight, and dedication & I would recommend her to anyone dealing with anxiety, reactivity, or feeling overwhelmed and unsure where to turn.”

“She had Guinness, our reactive, 8-year old lab mix, comfortable (!), practicing neutrality with new people entering the house and helped us advocate for his space.

With Noa’s advice, we added real foods to Guinness’s kibble; he’s never been so excited to eat or satisfied with his food. Prepping fresher foods for him has also unintentionally helped ME eat better too! As I’m sure other reactive dog owners will relate to, all you want is what’s best for your dog, and it’s hard to find someone who will be a good trainer, let alone friend, for them. I’m thankful to have found that match with Noa.”

“My rescue Goose came to me not only shut down and scared, but with some pretty bad skin issues. Noa recommended easy nutritional switches and he’s had the shiniest, healthiest skin and coat ever since!

Goose has become a happy, playful pup, though his confidence brought some behavioral challenges. Goose now walks better on leash, responds better to strangers, and is thrilled to see her every time!”

“My sweet pit bull border collie, Rosie started to show signs of reactivity after having her for about 3 1/2 months. Finding a dog trainer whom has had to start from the bottom with her own dog made me feel more at ease and more understood.Without the help of Noa I don’t think that we would have the success that we have with Rosie today at all.

Learning to stay calm and consistent in my own emotions really helped my dogs. The right food I KNOW made her happier and more inclined to listen. We started with “back to the basics” by doing some indoor training and I still use this tactic today whenever Rose decides to act out a little bit, which is something that I would’ve never known about if it weren’t for whole damn dog. Working with Noa was fun, calming and easy! She is an excellent and personable communicator and trainer.”

“She has made training with Moka 100% easier and giving me confidence in the right way to do it. We have taken her e-collar classes and group classes that are always informational and cost-effective.

Moka loves working with Noa and is always excited to see her and train. 10/10 recommend booking with Noa!”

“I couldnt recommend her enough for all of your training needs. apollo loves her to the moon and she has taught him so many fundamental puppy skills and principles. She’s super easy to talk, flexible, and she truly finds a understanding for your pup and tailors training straight to your personal goals! and you also get a mentor that will help you out as long as you need her!

She took the blues out of puppyhood for both me and my husband! we love you Noa!!!!”
