Dog Obedience Training When You Need It the Most!
At Sally Said So Professional Dog Training – Jacksonville, we understand how frustrating it can be to have a disobedient dog. That’s why our dog obedience training programs are designed to help you teach your dog the behaviors you want. We offer personalized programs to address any obnoxious or unruly behavior, helping you bring out the best in your dog!
Obedience training is a crucial part of owning a dog. Dogs do not come equipped with the knowledge needed to navigate our world smoothly. Training helps them learn proper behavior and follow your commands, preventing bad habits like excessive barking or chewing on furniture. We recommend starting this process at home—where any bad habits would form and where your dog learns the majority of the time. We come to you and begin your training program after meeting for a comprehensive consultation.

What Sets Sally Said So Apart?
We’ve been successfully helping dogs and owners resolve miscommunication and behavioral issues since 2009. We believe there are no bad dogs, just poor communication. We find that private dog training at the start of the process works since dogs and owners learn best in low-distraction environments. Once they have the training tools they need, we bring them into the real world. In our premier programs, we commit to your dog for their life which ensures you always have the support you need.
Sally Said So’s mission is to help more dogs by educating dog owners, supporting dog rescue, and empowering veterinary professionals across our state.

Our Training Philosophy
Decisions, Not Dominance
At Sally Said So, we believe in a balanced approach to dog training that recognizes and respects the natural intelligence of your dog. Our decision-based training method, endorsed by veterinarians, goes beyond the limitations of reward-based and dominance training.
Why Choose Decision-Based Dog Training?
- Trust and Respect: Reward-based training can fail without treats, while dominance training relies on fear. Decision-based training builds a trusting relationship.
- Natural Intelligence: This method allows your dog to make good choices without the need for bribery or force.
- Customized Approach: Tailored to your dog’s individual needs, ensuring effective and gentle guidance.
How Decision-Based Dog Training Works:
- Temporarily Remove Triggers: Focus on in-home training first to eliminate practice of bad behavior and retrain the proper response to triggers.
- Encourage Good Choices: Use reasonable consequences and rewards to teach the correct responses and behaviors.
- Positive Reinforcement: Train your dog to behave well by offering your dog valuable and rewarding resources at the right time.
Enjoy a Genuine Relationship with Your Dog
Decision-based dog training fosters a happy, respectful bond between you and your dog, allowing for genuine affection and companionship.
