Sally Said So – Dog Trainer Jacksonville

Sally Said So’s training approach begins with a Comprehensive Consultation, a two-hour meeting where an expert discusses training goals, evaluates behavior and environment, and demonstrates basic obedience skills. This consultation marks the start of one-on-one training.

Private Training Sessions are offered for all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, covering puppy training, obedience, and behavior modification for issues like aggression, anxiety, leash training, potty training, and separation anxiety. Group Training classes are available for mastering real-world skills, including distraction training, Canine Good Citizen skills, and advanced obedience. These group classes are a perk of their Trainer on Retainer and Priority Programs.

Specialized programs include Pre-Purchase and Adoption Consultations to help families choose the right dog, an Expecting Parents Program to prepare dogs for a new child, and dedicated Service Dog Training for Mobility Assistance, Hearing, and Psychiatric Service Dogs. They also offer Therapy Dog Training, partnering with Dogs With A Purpose for testing and certification. Additionally, Sally Said So provides one-on-one Feline Training for aggressive behavior, marking, and scratching.
