What they say about themselves
The Noble Dogs focuses on what their site describes as the harder cases—anxiety, aggression, and reactivity in particular. According to client testimonials on their website, trainer Grant Noble has taken on severe resource guarding situations that other San Diego-area trainers had turned away. The business states they build customized training plans based on an initial behavioral evaluation, with an emphasis on teaching owners the skills to maintain results after formal training ends.
Their programs include private lessons, in-home training, and board-and-train options where dogs stay with trainers for intensive work. They say they train dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages across the San Diego area, including La Jolla, Coronado, Del Mar, and Rancho Santa Fe. The site mentions a free Zoom consultation to assess the dog and outline a proposed approach before any commitment.
A few claims worth noting: they state their training includes a year of unlimited group classes for ongoing socialization, and they make a guarantee that dogs won't revert to prior behavior—provided owners follow through with the methods taught. The business reports over five years of experience, though the site offers limited detail about Grant Noble's specific credentials or training background beyond what appears in customer reviews.
