Dog Training Tip:
Dog’s are present animals. They can only be taught NOT to do something while IN THE ACT of doing it. Their short memory span is so short that if you try to address the problem even minutes later, they won’t know why you are doing what you are doing. It’s super important that when training dogs, you have them watched or on the leash at all times so they get into a routine, are corrected when offering unwanted behaviors and praised when they make the right choices.
It takes baby steps to teach them everything you need them to know and everything you DON’T want them to do. Dog are animals, they have NO CLUE what “no” means. They have no idea what you want from them and they certainly don’t come knowing the rules, basic commands, how to be potty trained, where they can sleep, not sleep or not to touch the garbage. You should never assume that dogs should JUST KNOW. They don’t unless you take the time to teach them.
Different Kinds of Dog Training
Dogs have many options when it comes to learning so we offer several dog training programs. Many dogs will learn basic etiquette for spending time with family, and other dogs may learn the skills required for service work, such as search and rescue work. There are various types of training for dogs based on the needs of the owner and dog.
If you have a new pup, Sally Said So puppy classes are the ultimate way to socialize your puppy to other dogs and people in a safe and controlled environment. Our classes teach you how to raise a confident, joyful dog with a focus on fear prevention. These classes are great fun for you and your pup and our certified trainer!
Here are some different kinds of dog training programs that are available.
Behavioral training
Behavioral training is any type of training that teaches dogs how to behave correctly around people and other animals. This type of training is ideal for aggressive dog behavior. Although it won’t be cured in one day, there are loads of steps you can take to ward off the aggressive behavior and keep your dog calm. It may include some basic commands, but the end goal is to make them good citizens as dogs. Most of this training may deal with behavioral problems like chewing, excessive barking, jumping on people, biting, or housebreaking. The first step toward eliminating this behavior is to understand what’s causing the dog’s aggressive behavior with dog aggression training. For example, many dogs will growl when someone approaches them while they’re chewing or eating a bone, Others will react aggressively toward strangers or children. This is also a very common type of training that is appropriate for younger pups that are just getting started. It is best to get puppies trained right away, before bad habits are developed.
How to Stop Aggression
Obedience training
Vocational or Service Dog Training
Dogs can learn a wide variety of skills just like humans. There are some dogs that learn how to hunt, heard, assist the disabled, do search and rescue work, or even work with law enforcement. This is the ultimate choice for off leash k9 training. These learned skills are like vocational training for dogs because it means that they will have a career helping people in one way or another. With these programs, dogs learn specific techniques to hone their senses and communicate with humans, but the programs are also tough and time-consuming. Any type of vocational training for dogs would assume that they have a solid foundation in terms of their basic skills. Also, some of these programs are suited for specific breeds as well.

What Your Fellow Raleigh Dog Owners Saying!
I highly recommend Sally Said So. Shane and his colleagues taught me tips after I started fostering a dog from a Humane Society that had been at the shelter for most of his life. I honestly didn’t think this dog’s behavior could be helped but with tips and patience, the dog is well-behaved now and will never have go back to a shelter again. Thank you so much! What seemed impossible has actually been a success story!
Puppy Training and why it’s important to start early.
Looking for puppy training in Raleigh NC?
Sally Said So has helped train hundreds of puppies in Raleigh. Setting the foundation of a strong relationship with you and your puppy is critical.
Puppies hardly retain anything at such a young age, but with consistency they will eventually learn. One of the things we have found is that when you limit their freedom, they are more prone to taking on things and learning fast.
It’s important to watch their behaviors and look for any aggression or anxiety before it becomes second nature. All dogs need a leader and at this young age, they yearn for it even if they don’t know it. We do puppy training or puppy preschool right here in Raleigh North Carolina. 🙂
This is the stage where they use their teeth to explore, to play and to express dominance.
This is also the stage that when things happen, it could stick with them forever.
- Puppies need to be socialized immediately after they get their vaccines in order to get used to loud noises, other people, other dogs and even cats. If you don’t take this step, life can get pretty hard for you and your pup in the future.
- Puppies are a lot of responsibility and lot’s needs to be done in the early years. We can help. Call us for a consultation or a schedule of classes.
Sally Said So now offers puppy training in the following areas in North Carolina: Crystal Coast, Triangle, Triad, Charlotte, Asheville and of course our original top-rated and accredited puppy training in Raleigh NC.
