Our Dogs Are Facing Rising Health and Behavioral Challenges
It All Begins from Within
The Whole Dog Matters
True wellness isn’t just about modifying behavior; it’s about the Whole Damn Dog—their nutrition, stress levels, exercise, and environment. Factors like a poor diet, stress, sedentary lifestyles, and exposure to environmental toxins all impact a dog’s well-being, state of mind, and consequently, their behavior.
Dogs make us happier, healthier, and live longer. Let’s do the same for them.
Cancer, anxiety, obesity, reactivity and chronic illness are on the rise in our canine companions, and lifespans are shortening on top of it all.
Because our pets can’t make health choices on their own, it’s up to us to give them the best chance for a long, vibrant life.
Overcome Your Obstacles
Behavioral Issues
I’ll work with you to develop practical solutions for your dog’s struggles. My approach combines mindful training techniques, clear communication, and environment-focused adjustments to help your dog feel secure and understood. By addressing factors like diet, lifestyle, and routines, I help create a foundation that promotes positive behavior changes and strengthens the bond between you and your dog.
Inadequate Nutrition
Diet is foundational to a dog’s health and behavior. I meet clients where they are, offering guidance within any budget—whether it’s enhancing kibble with fresh foods or transitioning to a raw or home-cooked diet. Nutrition isn’t just about feeding—it’s a vital component in promoting your dog’s longevity, mood stability, and overall vitality.
Puppy Training Challenges and Setting Up for Success
From crate training to socialization, puppy training can feel overwhelming. My in-home sessions give your puppy the best start by addressing socialization, behavior management, and obedience tailored to their developmental needs.
“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. Noa’s patient guidance has helped us understand each other. Goose now walks better on leash, responds better to strangers, and is thrilled to see her every time!”
Jayne & Goose
“Frazier is eating better than ever, thanks to the affordable and easy recommendations from Noa! The improvements from the fresh food additions shows in his shiny coat, clean teeth, and even his behavior!”
Julia & Frazier
“From the first moment Noa came to our house, 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.”

Where I Train
I offer my services throughout the neighborhoods of San Diego, including North Park, Mission Valley, Hillcrest, Bird Rock, La Jolla, Mission Beach, Ocean Beach, and Pacific Beach. You might spot me and my canine companions enjoying the sunny shores of Mission Bay, strolling through Balboa Park, hiking the trails of Torrey Pines, or enjoying the best Açaí Bowl in California (bold claim, I know) at Juice Wave.
