Amy isn’t just good with dogs. She speaks fluent bark, meow, and probably moo. People call her the “Animal Whisperer”… but really, she’s more like an animal translator. Her gift goes far beyond teaching sit and stay. She has a natural, intuitive ability to understand animals on a deeper level. She can read their emotions, energy, and needs like an open book. Her years of experience and a lifetime of connection have turned that intuition into a skill that helps dogs, cats, horses, and rabbits feel truly understood and guided, even without the treats.
Since she was a kid, she’s been calming down nervous pups, earning the trust of cranky cats, and decoding doggy side-eye like she’s running the FBI’s K9 Division. Thousands of dogs later, she’s still at it…teaching them to sit, stay, and please stop eating your underwear. No cookie-cutter programs here. Some just need manners. Others need a priest. Amy customizes training to match your pup’s quirky personality and your family’s sanity levels.
Clients often say things like:
“My dogs NEVER warm up to people this fast!”
“He doesn’t like anyone, but it looks like he loves you!”
“Nobody has ever taught me as much as you have!”
“It’s only been one week and we’re already seeing huge improvements!”
Amy’s secret sauce? Teaching humans how to actually understand their dogs instead of just yelling “stop that” 47 times. She bridges the communication gap so families and pets finally get each other, and live happily ever after…with fewer chewed shoes.
Look, you’ve got options. You could try YouTube videos, bribe your dog with Costco-sized cheese sticks, or just “hope for the best”. OR… you could go with Amy’s Dog Training and join the growing cult of happy dogs and even happier humans. Here’s why:
Amy’s got over 30 years of hands-on experience taming furry hurricanes. She’s trained everything from purse-sized yappers to dogs big enough to qualify for horse insurance. If there’s a Guinness World Record for “most couches saved from destruction”, Amy probably holds it.
We don’t yell, we don’t shame, and we definitely don’t make your dog do push-ups. We use the one universal truth: dogs will work for snacks. Our training is basically a motivational TED Talk with biscuits. Your dog learns, you laugh, and nobody ends up in therapy.
No two dogs are the same. Some are squirrel-obsessed maniacs, some are bed-hogging philosophers, and some are plotting world domination. Amy builds training plans for YOUR dog’s quirks, so your fur babies will graduate with gold-star manners.
Amy’s team is basically professional dog therapists. We have the patience of saints, the reflexes of ninjas, and an immunity to slobber that scientists still can’t explain. We’ll treat your dog with respect, kindness, and the occasional silly voice.
We keep you updated on progress so you’re never left in the dark. You’ll get clear pupdates, helpful tips, and maybe a funny story about how your dog tried to romance a garden hose. It’s like getting live reality TV episodes starring your own pet without the commercial breaks.
Amy’s Dog Training is bringing peace, order, and fewer chewed-up sneakers to homes all across California. If your pup barks, zooms, or side-eyes the neighbor’s cat, chances are we’ve been there with treats and a game plan.
Here are the official bark zones we proudly serve:
Posted on Jane DavidTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When we adopted Fritzi from Stockton shelter it was literally her last day before euthanasia. Words like “highly reactive” and untrainable were used. Because of a desperate email appeal from a shelter worker. we went to see her. We could see the extent of her troubling behavior but recognized it as fear rather aggression. Being elderly, the thought of bringing home a young dog much in need of training with daunting. I will not lie, there were times. At first we wanted to pull out our hair and return the dog. We inquired many places about trainers and werevery fortunate to be guided to Amy Noble through several sources. It’s not an exaggeration to say that Amy saved Fritzi’s life. From being a complete terror on the leash and threatening every other dog she encountered on walks, she became far calmer and willing to greet other dogs without showing any aggression. Amy guided us through what training Exercises she needed and spent time with Fritzi alone as well as days that we went through her routines with Amy. We consider the time and money spent in training to be invaluable. As Fritzi turns three at the end of this year, we’re sure that our lives together are going to be harmonious and filled with affection. I don’t know any other way to say it, Amy has worked a miracle. We’re so glad we found her (and found Fritzi, too.). We keep going back to Amy with questions about health and reinforcing her good behaviors. When she boards with Amy, we are absolutely confident that the right behaviors will be rewarded and she will have a good time with Amy’s other dogs. We know we’re lucky to have come to this place with the right dog and certainly the right trainer! Jane DavidPosted on Sandy HallTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We got a dog from the shelter. She is adorable. However, she had a couple of little challenges. We were just not sure how to help her be her best family member. My husband found Amy online. When we contacted her, she got right back to us and was willing to spend time learning about what we needed. We knew right away that we were gonna be cared for, and our little girl had a great teacher. We booked with Amy right away and on our first visit we knew that she was a good fit for us. Amy has come out three times. The difference in our girl is amazing. She has learned so much, and so have we. I would highly recommend Amy as your pet guidance person. She has helped us a lot and she is very knowledgeable. We can now open the door without our dog running out. We can take her for a walk without her, dragging us down the street. She doesn’t try to attack every other *ANIMAL that she’s on her walk. And her meal time manners have greatly improved.Posted on Angie LoveTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend Amy Noble highly enough! She has helped me with multiple dogs over the years, and I’m always impressed by her gentle, intuitive, yet firm approach. Dogs immediately respect her, and she has a true gift for connecting with them. Equally valuable is how she educates the humans. Her sessions are fun, interactive, and clear, with practical steps and homework that make progress feel achievable. She also ties in other pets and family members so everyone knows their role and can support the process. Amy is kind, highly knowledgeable, and deeply intuitive. Whether you’ve just adopted a dog or want to improve your bond with a longtime companion, she’s an outstanding trainer who delivers real results.Posted on Patty VargasTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amy helped me turn my fearful, anxious spaniel into the service dog that I desperately needed. If one technique didn't work with my dog, Amy had three others to try. She did a great job of explaining, from the dog's point of view, where the problem behaviors were coming from. She came up with solutions when my physical limitations kept us from using traditional techniques. I would recommend Amy to anyone needing a dog trainer. I've had dogs for six decades and couldn't believe how little I knew about working with them.Posted on Rachel VillaronTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When we needed help with our rescue dog Siena, we found Amy and she was a godsend! A true dog whisperer, and really all animal whisperer, she helped us with Siena's dog aggression. When we first got Siena, she was a year old and a very strong 50 pound Lab mix who could pull hard enough to pull me down when she saw other dogs. With Amy's patience and skill, Siena became a great walking dog who still didn't like other dogs, but didn't pull me down trying to get to them! Amy was not only our dog trainer but a good friend and when it came time to say goodbye to Siena, Amy came by to say her final good-byes as well. When we are ready for a new dog, Amy has also pledged to find us a dog with the same temperament as Siena because she was the best dog ever and we miss her every day. Amy is the best and we look forward to working with her in the future, whenever that will be.Posted on Sandra ForrerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our family has worked EXCLUSIVELY with Amy since 2004 and would do so again! Our "fuzzy piranha" had her teeth on everything and everyone. Amy taught all of us how to break her of the habit and how to be a good family for her. Later, we adopted an Australian Cattle Dog...smarter than a lot of people! Amy helped us to modify his herding instinct into good boy behaviour. 10/10 would train again!Posted on Elena GaffneyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing and experienced dog behaviorist and trainer. Amy had worked and works with multiple our rescue dogs, she has exceptional understanding of animals and their individual needs, her skills , knowledge, and expertise are remarkable.Posted on Alyssa IveryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amy is amazing!!! I have a husky mix(Candy) and he is my first dog. He has always been a sweet and loving boy, but was craaazy when we first got him. Amy made the training process so easy for our family and Candy loves her so much.. every time she leaves, he looks for her! I feel like a lot of trainors are fine with animals but bad with humans, but Amy is amazing with animals aand humans! I always say I’m pretty sure she can communicate with them! Thank you Amy for helping us with our boyPosted on Mischa WendelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amy is a born Dog Whisperer! She came to my house to help me with my poor dog Yo-Yo, who was a very sad rescue case from a puppy mill in Taiwan. Yo-Yo was an 8 years old Golden Retriever, and had lived in a small cage all her life, producing puppies. She had absolutely no socialization, and was very frightened of people, especially men. In spite of everything I tried, I got nowhere with her, and I've had dogs all my life. I worked in vet medicine for 35 years, and have had over 10 old rescue dogs after I stopped showing and breeding Goldens. Amy came highly recommended to me by friends and veterinarians, and we set up a time for her to come to my house. I had to keep a leash on Yo-Yo at all times to be able to catch her, and when Amy arrived I brought her downstairs and handed the leash to Amy. Yo-Yo immediately strained at the end of the leash, trying to get away, to run back upstairs and hide again in her safe spot. Amy just ignored this, and quietly talked to her in a low voice, not making eye contact. Slowly, slowly, Yo-Yo started to relax a little at the end of the leash., and finally stood still. Amy worked with her and me for over an hour, and we made fantastic progress. She showed me what we could work on in the coming months to make Yo-Yo more secure, and my girl was now so relaxed that she was sitting next to Amy with her eyes closed! I consider myself an experienced animal person, and I used to train young horses for people so they could ride them, but I have never encountered anyone with the intuitive feeling for training troubled dogs like Amy! Yo-Yo and I were greatly helped by her expertise, and I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a skilled and compassionate dog trainer!Posted on Sarah SmithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have worked with Amy with my two Great Danes and my horse. One Dane was for general training and the other we are currently working on some behavior modification. Amy is fantastic with all my animals and has taught me how to better communicate and understand them. I’ve always been impressed with her knowledge and patience. 10 out of 10 highly recommend her if you are looking for just a better model citizen pup or if you are having behavioral issues. My girls love her and are always jazzed when they get to see her!
