We had a wonderful experience with Auntie Sally’s Dog Training! Sally is incredibly knowledgeable and brings decades of experience to her classes. You can immediately tell she truly understands dogs and cares about helping both pets and their owners succeed. Her positive, reward-based training methods made a huge difference for our dog. The classes were well structured, easy to follow, and focused on real-life skills like leash manners, polite greetings, and reliable recall. We appreciated how she explained not just what to do, but why it works — it gave us so much more confidence at home. The class size felt manageable, and Sally took time to answer questions and offer individual guidance. The environment was supportive and encouraging, which made learning enjoyable for both us and our pup. If you’re in the Portland / Hillsboro / Milwaukie area and looking for a kind, experienced trainer who uses modern, science-based methods, I highly recommend Auntie Sally’s Dog Training!

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 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!

Do not recommend for bully breeds, three classes , made to not feel welcome. And on a Zoom make up class for a missed class , she made fun of my husband when I shared he was being diagnosed with Frontal Temporal Lobe disease, Not the type of person i want to be around at all .

Sally is fabulous. She is the most knowledgable 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 hudband and and I. Highly recommend!
