FirstBarkI have been taking classes with Noelle from SUPERNOVA DOGS since my dog was just 16 weeks. Noelle has helped my dog gain confidence and make good decisions and has helped me be able to manage her behavior and advocate for her needs. I cannot recommend Noelle enough! She creates positive environment, is so patient and kind, and is able to adjust her advice to individual dogs. She is incredible!

Lee is a great trainer and Jet always has so much fun in class!
High quality dog training at an excellent price. Noelle provides dog owners with the knowledge, skills, and techniques to not only train - but communicate effectively with their dogs. The classes are well organized and are packed with great lessons/exercises. Noelle is patient, friendly, and professional at all times and is full of great advise and insight.
Noelle is the absolute best at what she does! Not only is she excellent with dogs and has incredible knowledge, but she is an excellent teacher. She is so good at helping humans improve working with their dogs and is incredibly patient. I would highly recommend!

We love taking classes with Noelle. I was nervous at first because my dog can be reactive to dogs and people. Noelle always is willing to make adjustments for the dogs to be most successful including giving the dogs space when needed. We’ve done agility classes for over a year and Noelle is great at troubleshooting challenges that arise and informing you of changes that can be made to help both you and your dog be more successful. We were able to do our first agility trial this month and we did very well. I believe agility classes have really helped with my dog’s confidence and our relationship. It used to take her weeks to warm up to people and dog in the class and now she thinks everyone in class is her friend (and has snacks). We’ve also attended barkour walks which are really fun.
