Puppy Training Charlotte & Pre-purchase Puppy Consultations

Getting a puppy is a large investment, in terms of time and cost. At the same time the joy a puppy can bring is greater than the money spent. A puppy should be in a good home with an owner who understands and can teach them, or who brings them in for puppy training classes to give them a good head start.

Aside from puppy training, making the right decision for you and your family on what type of dog to purchase will ensure a happy, long-lasting, stress-free for all! This is why we offer Pre-Purchase Puppy Consultations & also Puppy Training once you have welcomed your new puppy home.

What is a Pre-Purchase Puppy Consultation?

A Pre-Purchase Puppy Consultation is a one-on-one private in-home consultation where Shane Gentry, Sally Said So’s top dog trainer, will assess your lifestyle, your personality, home environment, schedule, and long-term goals to help you choose the right puppy for your needs.

Are you an active person? A more quiet, relaxed person who loves cuddles? Is your home big or on the smaller side? It may be tempting to choose the cutest pup of the bunch – however, that one might not match with your long-term goals or lifestyle. It’s sort of like dating!

Just like humans, dogs all have unique personalities. Our job is to assess what type of dog personality would match yours. Some dogs are very happy, hyper, and active – while others may be more protective, laid back, or calm. With Shane’s extensive background in dog behavior and dog breeds, he can assist clients in choosing a breed that fits! If you want to choose the best breed and dog for you and your lifestyle, a certified and experienced dog trainer can come in handy.
