Providing a premier training experience throughout North Carolina
Dog Training Services
We offer financing options for all our services along with lifetime support and unlimited group classes with our premier services.
Comprehensive Consultation
Our training approach begins with a two-hour meeting with an expert and marks the start of one-on-one training. During this we will discuss your dog’s training goals, evaluate their behavior and environment, explore our training style, and demonstrate some basic obedience skills. This may include basic commands like sit, “place,” and leash walking. By the end we want you to have a clear picture of your training journey.
Private Training Sessions
Whether you’re looking for puppy training, proper socialization, basic dog obedience training, or behavior modification for an aggressive dog or anxious dog, we offer private lessons to accommodate all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. These sessions are all-inclusive, tackling everything from leash training to crate training to separation anxiety and beyond.
Group Training
Our group dog training classes are perfect for mastering the real world. These classes cover in-depth training beyond your basic skills. They involve proofing training, Canine Good Citizen skills, advanced obedience and more. We think they are important for developing a confident dog. These classes are a perk of our Trainer on Retainer and Priority Programs.
Pre-Purchase and Adoption Consultation
Are you ready to add a new dog or new pup to the family, but are nervous about finding “the one”? Our Wilmington dog trainers will assist you by researching the right breed, temperament, and size for your family and lifestyle. We’ll take that research and help find the right dog from our network of rescues and breeders.
Expecting Parents Program
Are you preparing for a new child? We can help you train your dog to minimize stress and improve your confidence in their behavior before your child arrives. This proactive approach will ensure a smooth transition for your dog, you, and your baby.
Service Dog Training
We train Mobility Assistance, Hearing, and Psychiatric Service Dogs. You and your dog will spend an extended period of time working with a professional dog trainer to ensure your dog is highly trained and capable.
Therapy Dog Training
We train your dog to meet all necessary requirements for therapy dog certification. We are partners with Dogs With A Purpose, a Triangle therapy dog program, for testing and certification.
Feline Training
You read that right, we train cats! We can assist with aggressive behavior, marking, scratching, and more during one-on-one training sessions.
Why Private Training First?
Our training approach begins with private consultations and training sessions to set you up for success.
Board and train programs may help your dog learn skills, but they are removed from their home environment at a training facility. You need your dog to function at home. With us, you will be part of the process.
Your dog truly wants to communicate and bond with you, despite their frustrating behavior. While our programs include work with your dog, we spend plenty of time teaching you the tools you need to communicate with your dog.
We can’t recommend learning about your dog’s behavior enough. Our trainers prioritize the needs of the dog and offer a variety of positive reinforcement techniques, thus strengthening the bond between dog and owner. If you want the best dog training that involves work with your dog and you, contact us and let’s discuss your dog’s specific needs.
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 and continued training 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.
