Our Dog Training Services

All of our programs are grounded in reward-based, relationship-focused training methods and include lifetime support and access to group classes for select packages. Every dog deserves a trainer that speaks “dog” – we have that and more.

We offer financing options for all our services along with lifetime support and unlimited group classes with our premier services.

Comprehensive Consultation

Our two-hour introductory consultation includes a full behavior evaluation, discussion of your goals, and demonstration of basic obedience like ‘sit,’ ‘place,’ and leash walking. This sets the stage for our one-on-one private dog training sessions.

Private Dog Training in Winston Salem

We offer personalized, in-home dog training for issues such as aggression, leash reactivity, separation anxiety, and more. Whether your dog is a high-energy working breed or a shy rescue pup, we create a program that works. Our popular services including obedience training, puppy training, and behavior modification all utilize these private sessions. We’ll take your companion and you through your own personalized training program.

Group Training

Our group dog training classes are perfect for mastering the real world. These classes cover in-depth training beyond your basic skills. These classes involve distraction training, Canine Good Citizen skills, advanced obedience and more. These classes are a perk of our Trainer on Retainer and Priority Programs.

Pre-Purchase and Adoption Consultation

Are you ready to add a best friend or new puppy to the family, but are nervous about finding “the one”? Our Winston-Salem dog trainers will assist you in researching the right breed, temperament, and size for your family and lifestyle. We’ll take that research and then find you the right dog from our network of rescues and breeders.

Puppy Training

Our puppy programs help with housebreaking, socialization, nipping, crate training, and setting a solid foundation for obedience. If you’re looking for ‘AKC puppy training classes near me’ or ‘basic puppy training classes near me,’ we’ve got you covered with individualized care.

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 and Therapy Dog Training

We offer training for Psychiatric, Hearing, and Mobility Assistance Service Dogs, as well as full preparation and testing for Therapy Dog certification in partnership with Dogs With A Purpose. Our experienced dog trainers are ready to help you train for these high-level skill sets.

We don’t just teach your dog – we teach you

Offering an exceptional alternative to board and train or stay and train dog training classes, we focus on training you just as much as training your companion. We believe in teaching leash skills, the ability to read your dog’s body language, and excellent handling skills so you have a sustainable set of training tools for the rest of your dog’s life. Think you need more insurance than that? We offer nose-to-tail behavioral insurance with select programs so you always have a well-behaved dog.

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.

Backed by Certifications and Community Trust

We’re more than just trainers—we’re educators and advocates. Our team includes: AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluators, Pet Tech CPR-Certified staff, Fear Free Certified Trainers, and members of the Canine Trade Group.

Why Choose Us Over Dog Clubs or Boot Camps?

Searching for ‘dog training clubs near me’ or ‘AKC obedience training in North Carolina’? While local clubs and boot camps have their benefits, they often lack the personalized guidance your dog needs in your home and community. Our in-home approach ensures your dog learns where it matters—right in your daily life. We’re proud to offer an alternative to group-only formats like the Forsyth Kennel Club, Carolina Dog Training Club, and other ‘club dog training’ options.
