Noble Paws Academy
Real Trainingfor Real Life
Led by Behavior Specialist Eloise Honey, Noble Paws Academy trains for life as it happens around your dog: distractions on a walk, visitors at the door, and the everyday activity of a busy home. From everyday manners to fear, anxiety, reactivity, and aggression, we help dogs think, regulate, and make better choices where it matters most — in real life.
The Noble Paws Difference
Why Noble Paws Academy
Your dog is family — and family deserves the very best. We bring world-class expertise to everyday pet dogs, helping your best friend become the calm, happy companion you've always wanted.
Tailored To Your Dog
Every dog is different — breed, personality, history, and home life all matter. We build a custom plan around your dog and your family's routine so the training actually sticks.
We Train You, Too
The secret to lasting results? An educated owner. We teach you exactly what to do — and the "why" behind it, so you understand your dog's behavior at the root cause and feel confident long after our sessions end.
Real-World Expertise
Our trainer's background in rescue and behavioral modification — alongside military, fire service, and police K9 work — means we've handled it all. That high-level skill is now dedicated to helping your family dog thrive.
Certified & Trusted
Internationally/Nationally Recognized Behavior Specialist, NePoPo Gold GM Certified, and LIMA-compliant — our credentials mean your dog is in the most capable, caring hands. We use only humane, science-based methods.
Compassion First
We build trust, not fear. Every interaction is fair — we teach dogs not just to listen, but to truly understand, so they can make better decisions themselves.
Support For Life
Your dog's journey doesn't end when training does. We measure success not by how your dog looks in or right after training, but by how they behave years later — and we're here for that lifetime with questions, refresher tips, or just a check-in. We're always in your corner.
Proven Results
Client Success Stories
After working with three trainers, Noble Paws was the first to address the root cause. Our once-reactive Malinois now walks calmly past other dogs. The education we received was invaluable.

Private Client
My Lab had severe separation anxiety. He destroyed things when left alone, whined and barked constantly, and never really settled in the house much. Taking him anywhere was impossible and embarrassing. Eloise helped me understand how that all developed and worked with me to change our relationship for the better. Six months later, he’s still the dog I love, but without the anxiety that used to literally run my life. You don’t realize how much of your day revolves around your dog’s behavior until you no longer have to plan around it. We’re both sooooo much happier, we travel together now, and most of the time I get asked if he’s a service dog. He’s so much more calm and confident. Eloise has continued helping us through her lifetime support, including teaching us how to work toward advanced off leash skills. Definitely someone I’ll know and lean on for the rest of his life.

Bella was terrified of everything. The rehabilitation program gave her confidence and gave me the tools to keep her progressing. Life-changing for both of us.

Our Story
Mission & Philosophy
For 17+ years, Eloise has worked with dogs across almost every corner of the training world — from family pets and shelter dogs to complex behavioral cases, court mandated euthanasia cases, service dogs, detection, high profile private protection and Police K9s — and eventually into teaching other professional trainers. But the dogs that shaped her approach most weren't always the ones doing the most impressive work. They were the ones struggling to simply exist comfortably in everyday life.
She has not just trained but lived with the reactive dog, the aggressive dog, the resource guarder, the dog fights, the anxiety, the endless barking and the dogs facing behavioral euthanasia. She understands how much a dog's behavior can change the way an entire household lives.
Her goal is a calmer, clearer, more capable dog — and an owner who finally understands the dog standing beside them.
