About Eva Noble
These are my fur babies, except for the German Shepherd.
Eva is a professional dog trainer, with extensive knowledge in dogs and puppies. She has studied with Karen Pryor Academy, Ian Dunbar, The Hands Off dog training program, Pet Professional Guild, Dove Cresswell, and Kyra Sundance. She is also certified in Pet First Aid and Trick Dog training.
Eva shares her home with her husband Ernie, who supports her 100% and helps out around the business, keeping the grounds clean, mowing the grass, walking the dogs and cleaning crates. She also shares her her home with three beautiful Black - Tri Australian Shepherds, a Great Pyrenees/Anatolian Shepherd mix and a Maltepoo. She has and African Grey, 20 year old Alex and 30 year old Skipper, a Yellow Naped Amazon. She purchased Alex when he was still and egg! When she received ownership of Alex, he was only 10 days old and had to be hand fed around the clock. Skipper was 6 weeks old and still being hand fed as well but only three times a day.
Everyone gets along great in Eva's home. She has trained her Australian Shepherd, Gracie CGC, TD, NTD, to Canine Good Citizen, Certified Therapy Dog as well as Novice Trick Dog. Pups Paint Ball Hell Cat Haley NTD, ITD, SD her second Australian Shepherd, has received her Novice and Intermediate Trick Dog titles as well as being trained as a Service Dog. Her Maltepoo, Peanut NTD also has her Novice Trick Dog title. It's a rewarding and fun area of dog training. Sadly, Peanut passed away in May from congestive heart failure at the age of 14. R. I. P. sweet Peanut. You may be gone but will never be forgotten.
Coconut, her Great Pyrenees/Anatolian mix weighs in at 120 lbs and is an amazing dog. Coconut is in training to be a Service Dog. The only one who doesn't have a special job to do is Sampson. Sampson, aka Sammy, is Eva's youngest Australian Shepherd. At 6 months he fell and broke his leg, needing to wear a cast for 6 weeks. At 2 years of age, Sampson had his first seizure, one of many grand mal cluster seizures he would continue to have over the years. He still continues having seizures often at the age of 7. He sees a Neurologist who diagnosed him with Idiopathic Epilepsy. He takes multiple medications 4 times a day and is on a raw diet per his vets recommendation and under the animal nutritionists supervision.
Last year, his half sister Haley, at the age of 6, had her first seizure. Now she takes multiple medications 3 times a day and is on the same raw diet. Haley is no long able to be her Service Dog but Eva says "I do try to keep her training up, simply because she is so smart and needs the mental stimulation She is my at home service dog. She picks things up if I drop them and helps me with the laundry".
Eva decided to become a dog trainer after getting a new puppy, and realizing just how hard it was to find a good dog trainer in her area who was willing to work with her availability. She thought about how hard it must be for others as well. So she decided to become a professional dog trainer. She studied for over 2 1/2 years, practicing on her own dogs every night at midnight, after she got off from working her 40 hour a week job.
Eva has had dogs all her life, growing up with German Shepherds, and has a deep love, and respect for them. They are highly intelligent animals, who are full of love and eager to learn. She has trained well over 500 dogs in the past 7 years since Wiggle Butt's Academy was first founded.
Eva loves every minute of her job. She says, "The only thing I regret is not becoming a Dog Trainer sooner. What a rewarding job I have!" She is always so proud of all of the puppies, dogs, and their handlers who come to the Academy. They are all special in their own way, and each has their own unique personality. She loves them all, and hates to see them go when their training is over, but feels a lump in her throat and a great swelling of pride to know that they are going home with parents that now know how to communicate with them. She knows that she has saved another dog. One who will never know what it feels like to be shocked, choked, or beaten into submission. Often, they sign up for another training package, or for boarding. It really makes her happy when a client wants to sign up for more training, knowing that they believe in her and her force-free training techniques enough to want to come back. Saving dogs from being forced, beaten or shocked into submission, one dog at a time. The dogs she trains will only know the joy of being trained with love, kindness, and gentleness.
Eva does NOT train with dogs with aggression issues. She does not carry the qualifications to do this type of training. If you do have a dog with aggression issues, you can still contact Eva at Wiggle Butt's Academy , and she will be happy to assist you in finding a qualified trainer who will work with you and your dogs special needs.

Eva uses Force Free training exclusively, and is a proud member of the Pet Professional Guild. She uses clicker based training, and of course, lots of praise and treats!
Eva believes that every aspect of training should be fun and says, "the more fun it is for you and your dog, the more likely you are to continue with your training, and the quicker your dog will learn. The more you continue with your training, the stronger the bond between you and your BFF (Best Furry Friend), the more well behaved your BFF will be, and the happier everyone around you will be!" Help your dog become a welcomed member of your family, friends and community. Give Wiggle Butt's Academy a Call text or email for more information on how you can have a well trained dog.
