The best money I ever spent!!! I rescued a dog in August. Perfect with me but visitors are a no to her. She lunges at them and must be contained. I signed a contract with “Sally Said So” and in two weeks she is a different dog. Everyday I work with her with my trainer’s advice and it’s night and day. Actually I’m lucky, I got the owner Shane!! Top notch dog trainers.

Shane has been the absolute best dog trainer!! I was not looking to board my dog and found limited options around New Bern for dog training in my own home. Sally Said So came to the rescue! The owner himself came by to cover all of Cooper’s dog training sessions. He listens well to the needs of Cooper and gives great info for homework and is always reachable should I have any questions. Cooper had zero training and was super high energy (1 year old mini Aussie…) and he improved immensely after just one session…4 sessions in and he’s a completely different dog! So proud of Cooper, but more importantly, could not have done it without Shane and the Sally Said So way! Follow them on Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram- they post hilarious content and small videos of their work in progress….you may even see a few Cooper videos on their page (brown and white Aussie). Could not recommend this company enough to all of my friends and neighbors!
We adopted 2 7year old black lab sisters from the shelter. Sage and Lilo,They were not trained. We have come a long way in a short time due to Sally Said So dog training. Shane Gentry has trained us along with our girls. We couldn't have done this without him!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Sally Said So has been an incredible blessing to our family. After rescuing a stray pup we knew very little about, Shane stepped in and became an invaluable guide. Our in-home consultation with Rachel laid a strong foundation to help our dog transition into a family pet and thrive in our home. As we've navigated challenges along the way, Shane’s deep understanding of dog behavior — and more importantly, his ability to teach us as humans how to guide and correct in a kind, effective way — has been absolutely priceless. His heart for dogs, commitment to the community, and the care he brings to every session are truly unmatched. We are beyond grateful for his support and highly recommend Sally Said So to anyone wanting to build a better bond with their dog.
