I have never met a more patient individual. There love for helping dogs and their owners is phenomenal. We both had a very wonderful experience. Bark Side will be returning for more training sessions very soon. Very affordable and we give them two paws up.

Noel came out to our home to work with our new puppy within the same week we got her! He is very knowledgeable on training, working with dogs, and providing support to new dog owners. He gave great feedback on how I could better implement how I was working on training via YouTube videos. We definitely recommend if you are looking on training a new puppy or dog!
Had the best interaction with this trainer! He was so great with kratos. I wish we hired noel from the start we had another trainer before noel an the bark side canine training blew my expectations out of the water very hands on training 1 on 1 with the dog an also with myself. Answer all my questions an made sure i understood everything bout my dog if you hire the bark side canine you will not regret best decision ever

Noel was Amazing!! 1,000 stars for me! I was blown away by the way he handled my 2 yr old German Shepherd. My pup doesn’t do well with other people or dogs so I was afraid for him but he is confident on what he does. And surely had my German shepherd thinking if he was her long lost friend lol I highly recommend him! You won’t be disappointed. I promise!

What can I say about Noel at Bark Side Canine Training? He’s the best! After just one month in his boot camp, our dog Luther went from a wild child to a calm and obedient companion. The results truly exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend Bark Side Canine Training to anyone whose dog could benefit from professional training.

We have tried a few different trainers until we met with Noel. Zero pressure and is truly a dog whisperer, our 3 golden retriever puppies have came a long way in a short time! Couldn’t recommend him more so!
Noel is absolutely awesome. He spent an hour giving us tips about our little guy and suggesting the prong collar that shaped immediate change. We loved it!

Thank you! Was a pleasure meeting you and your pups. Aries is a beast!
Noel had our Boxer focused and locked in the first 10 minutes he arrived! His knowledge and genuine love for dogs are reflected in how he speaks and interacts with them. He teaches you as well, so you can be confident in your partnership with your pup! Thankful we found him!

Had our first training session today for my German Shepherd pup. Noel was FANTASTIC!! I’m a first time puppy owner and have definitely felt lost when it comes to training and where to start and being afraid of accidentally/unknowingly reinforcing negative behaviors. Noel demonstrated some wonderful, easy to follow techniques for getting my puppy to stop biting, the sit command and target training with treats. I’m definitely looking forward to more sessions!!!

Noel was absolutely amazing! He came over and met my two Belgian Malinois and went to work! He is very informative and talks you through the whole process. Noel is very respectful and professional. Highly recommend him to anyone who needs training. I am most definitely going to pass his name along! Y'all don’t miss out!

Noel is AH-MAZING!! In the short time of his initial consultation we were able to see that what his training would do for our baby. We are definitely signing up and referring him to other pet parents.

Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear that you had such a positive experience with Noel during your consultation. It's fantastic to know that you feel confident in his training services for your baby. We appreciate your referrals and look forward to working with you and your pet!
Noel is awesome! I have a Great Dane Belgian Malinois mix who is wonderful but overly excited and unruly on outside adventures. Noel arrived promptly, came prepared to address my initial concerns and very knowledgeable. Within just 15 mins, there was already a difference. My pup absolutely responded to his training, instruction, and commands in a positive manner. Noel was very patient and encouraging! Highly recommend his services!

Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear that you had a great experience with Scar and found the training professional and trustworthy. We appreciate your recommendation and can't wait to see you for the next session!
I worked with Noel at Bark Side to get help walking and calming my two German Shepherds, and the experience was incredible. Noel is amazing with dogs — I was genuinely shocked at how quickly my dogs responded to him and made corrections almost immediately. He was extremely patient and kind, not only with the dogs but with me as well. He took the time to make sure I understood what to do and that I felt confident using the techniques on my own. I left each session feeling more equipped and in control.

Thank you! Teaching the dogs is easy, teaching the owner is most important. Your patience and willingness to learn and do the work makes the most important part easy. Looking forward to working with you and your 2 Sheps!

I can’t say enough about Noel! He is an amazing dog trainer and person. My puppy has a bewitching hour between 6-9 and gets aggressive towards my older dog and Noel came during that time to see what how the puppy turns into a gremlin😊 He spent time extra time observing the situation with my puppy. He started training and working on correcting the behavior right away. I love the fact he comes to the house and addresses the issues with the other dogs. Noel really knows what he is doing. I am so grateful I found him as in one session i already see changes. I highly recommend Noel.

Noel is absolutely AMAZING! My husband & I have a 4 month old german shepherd, and although he has been very teachable, we were at a loss with how to properly correct him in a way he’d respond. He was starting to become aggressive with his food & treats which was a major concern of ours considering we have a baby due in January, and an adult cat. We mentioned this to Noel & he corrected Duke IMMEDIATELY which gave us SO much reassurance. Noel also gave us all of the tips & tricks on how to correct puppy biting & nipping which has been a game changer. Well actually,
he gave us over an hour filled full of tips & tricks about everything we had questions about.
Needless to say we immediately scheduled 4 more sessions with Noel. He was so patient, kind, fun, and overall the right dog trainer for us. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

I highly recommend this dog training company. Noel is knowledgeable, professional, patient, and genuinely cares about both the dogs and their owners.
He takes the time to understand each dog’s unique needs and provide clear, effective training techniques that produce real results.
His communication is excellent, and he makes the entire process easy to follow and enjoyable.
If you’re looking for a trustworthy, experienced trainer that delivers exceptional service and helps build a stronger bond between you and your dog, I can’t recommend him highly enough. It has been a great experience, and I would gladly refer him to anyone looking for quality dog training.
