About The Noble Hound Dog Training

<h2>In-home tailored programs around Saint Charles</h2>

<p>The Noble Hound Dog Training publishes "in home tailored dog training programs" for Saint Charles, IL and surrounding areas, with posted hours of 9 am to 5 pm on weekdays and 9 am to 2 pm on Saturday. A free phone consultation is offered as the entry point.</p>

<h3>Services</h3>

<p>Three service areas are listed. Basic and advanced obedience starts with "foundational engagement training" and then works up "the ladder of obedience to proof your cues and make them reliable." A puppy service covers the fundamentals and habit-building for dogs growing into adulthood. Behavior modification is described as helping the dog "on a deeper level," with protocols and techniques aimed at a more polite, settled dog.</p>

<h3>How the training runs</h3>

<p>The training page states that all programs are hands-on and tailored to the owner's needs and goals, and that "regardless of methodology, we use praise and positive reinforcement as an integral part of the training." Sessions are held in the home, with a walk around the neighborhood or work at a nearby park described as par for the course. The stated philosophy is that "one size does not fit all" and that being versed in many different training styles is what lets the trainer match the method to the dog.</p>

<h3>Equipment</h3>

<p>The training page discloses that equipment purchases are encouraged as part of the process, giving basic training collars and elevated dog beds at $20 to $50, and professional-grade remote collars at $200 to $300 where a remote collar is used.</p>

<h3>The trainer</h3>

<p>The About page presents Dane Gonzalez as the trainer. It says he began working with dogs almost a decade ago through dog walking and dog sitting, and "enrolled in the Animal Behavior College and earned a certification as an obedience dog trainer in 2019," interning with local trainers and volunteering at animal shelters during that period.</p>
