Testimonials
Sally obviously loves what she’s doing and really cares about dogs! She spent over 30 minutes on the phone with me talking about my puppy’s behavior before I’d even paid for a class. I learned a ton from these classes and my puppy is becoming a well-trained, well-behaved dog that everyone enjoys at just 20 weeks old. Will definitely continue with his training with her!

Positive reinforcement training! Took our newly adopted shelter dog (staffy/Akita mix) to her class and learned a lot, which has helped immensely with our training of our pup. She was so informative and a kind teacher. She has also been a great resource for issues we’ve encountered outside of class.

Sally is fabulous. She is the most knowledgeable trainer I have ever taken a class with. She stays current on all the latest research regarding dog behaviour and training. She is very organized and gives great detailed instructions and handouts to take home. Our pup enjoyed her time at Sally’s class and so did my husband and I. Highly recommend!

About the Trainer
Auntie Sally Dog & Puppy Training offers small group classes for puppies and adult dogs using modern, positive reinforcement-based techniques. Classes are held at two locations: Creature Comforts Pet Center in Milwaukie, OR, and Trainers to the Rescue in Cornelius, OR. Puppy classes are for dogs 10 to 16 weeks old at the start of class, focusing on socialization, house training, mouthing, and basic commands like Sit, Down, Come, and Leave it. Beginning classes are for dogs 17 weeks and older, addressing manners such as leash pulling, jumping, counter surfing, and safety behaviors. Training is designed to build a strong, fun, and safe bond between dog and owner, with an emphasis on practical, everyday skills. Sally has over 30 years of experience and holds a CPDT-KA certification and an MEd in education. She also served on the board of the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers.
Classes are six weeks long and cost $185, with discounts available for senior humans and shelter dogs. Make-up lessons are offered for missed classes. Sally provides personalized support and recommends trusted resources like Dogwise.com and books by leading positive trainers. She does not offer training for aggression issues but provides referrals.
Sally’s background includes 17 years in Oregon higher education before transitioning to dog training, bringing a thoughtful, research-based approach to her instruction. She emphasizes safety, psychology, and rewarding relationships over outdated dominance methods.
