Dog Training Tip:

Dogs have short memory spans and therefore can only be taught to stop what they’re doing while in the act! If you try to address the problem even minutes later, they won’t understand what you’re doing. When dog training, it’s very important that they are being watched or on the leash at all times. As expert dog trainers, we suggest this because they should get into a routine, are corrected when offering unwanted behaviors and praised when they make the right choices.

In order to teach dogs what they should be doing and should not be doing, it will take time, consistency, and small steps. Dogs have NO IDEA what “no” means. Just like human babies, they have no idea what you want from them and they certainly don’t come knowing the rules, how to be potty trained, where they can sleep, not sleep or not to touch the garbage. Never assume that dogs should JUST KNOW these seemingly simple things. They don’t, unless you take the time to teach them. As experienced dog trainers, we know this – but don’t fret, we can help you by providing the top dog training in Charlotte, NC. So, call now!

Here are some different kinds of dog training programs that are available.

Behavioral dog training

Sally Said So’s Behavioral Dog Training in Charlotte teaches new behavior or helps modify an existing behavior. Most of this training may deal with problems like chewing, excessive dog barking, jumping on people, biting, or housebreaking.

During dog training it’s important to be aware that your dog is a unique individual. It’s important to observe your dog objectively when trying to determine the cause of problematic behavior so that you can recognise the triggers.

If your dog’s behavior isn’t changing after you’ve tried what you can, and you know something must be done, it’s ok to seek professional help. That’s where Sally Said So’s behavioral dog training comes in with our expert dog trainers. We don’t want you to get so frustrated with your dog that to the point at which you consider condemning them to a shelter. We ask that you help your fuzzy pal with the resources available to you.

Behavioral Dog Training is also suitable for younger pups that are just getting started. It is best to get puppy training right away, before bad habits are developed.

How to Stop Aggression

Jotting down when and the circumstantial details around your dog’s aggressive behavior is important in shaping your next course of action. There are different reasons for aggressive behavior and the symptoms may be exhibited differently, depending on the dog.

There are so many ways you can manage the aggression and help your dog stay calm, but you must be patient as it will take consistency, time, and potentially the help of a dog training professional.

Sally Said So offers dog training that works! Try it out and see for yourself. Our dog trainers can tame even the most aggressive dogs. Every dog breed and type are welcome!

Obedience training

Dog obedience training is focused on using commands like lie down, sit, or stay, etc. to help dogs become more obedient to their owner. This dog training is slightly more advanced than the behavioral training we offer, but it will likely include some training to fix any behavioral problems before they arise.

So, if you’re looking for “dog training near me” look no further than Sally Said So! This type of training is also very appropriate for younger puppies.

Vocational or Service Dog Training

There are some dogs that learn how to hunt, heard, assist the disabled, do search and rescue work, or even work with law enforcement. Sally Said So’s AKC Canine Good Citizen Certification is the greatest choice for off leash k9 training.

During this dog training program, dogs learn specific techniques to hone their senses and communicate with humans. The program is not easy and it is time-consuming, but it is worth it! Any type of vocational training for dogs would assume that they have a solid foundation in terms of their basic skills:

Be calm in unfamiliar and different settings
Be alert, but not reactive
Willing to please
Ability to learn and retain information
Capability of being socialized to many different situations and environments
Be reliable in performing repetitive tasks

Some of these programs are suited for specific breeds as well. The most common breeds trained as guide dogs are Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers and German Shepherd Dogs, but any dog breed can pursue this dog training – especially if they have the basic skills listed above.

Sarah Whitley

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 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 Starting early.

In general, it’s tough for puppies to learn since they have a hard time retaining information at such a young age. However, with time, patience, and proper dog training, they can – and do learn. When you limit their freedom, we have found they are more prone to taking on things and learning fast.

When you have a puppy, it’s imperative to observe their behaviors. Make sure to look for any aggression or anxiety before it becomes second nature. At such a young age, puppies need a leader for guidance. We do puppy training or puppy preschool to help you and your pup.

This is an impressionable stage for puppies where habits can be formed or if something happens, it could stick with the pup forever. It’s crucial for puppies to be properly socialized instantly after their vaccines so they get used to loud noises, other people, other dogs and even cats. If you miss this step, life can get pretty difficult for you and your pup in the future. Puppies are a big responsibility and it takes time and effort to guide them on the right path. Our dog trainers at Sally Said So can help. Call us for a consultation or a schedule of puppy training classes.
