Do you love dogs and their people? Are you interested in understanding how dogs think and work? Are you invested in improving relationships between dogs and their humans? Then, a career as a Professional Dog Trainer may be right for you!
Sally Said So! Professional Dog Training started in 2009 in the Triangle area and now trains across NC, SC, and TN. We are successfully offering obedience training and behavior modification, using our reward-based training protocol, across all markets. Our trainers are among the most-referred to by professionals in their communities. We focus on behavior first and believe the relationship between dog and human is crucial to the training process. We provide training to owners of all breeds and types of behavioral issues.
We are interested in adding an experienced trainer to the Triangle team. We are looking to hire sooner than later! This person will help us provide the most comprehensive and reliable dog training program available. The ideal candidate is:
- A self-proclaimed dog nerd
- A motivated self-starter
- Someone who enjoys problem solving and critical thinking
- A leader to clients and dogs
- An individual with reliable transportation and time management skills
- Has 2+ years of training or behavioral experience
We joke that while we call this "dog training" it's really more about "people training." You will spend a great deal of time educating clients on canine behavior while demonstrating and teaching them how to train their dogs. It's important our trainers can handle both sides of the leash!
Experience is welcomed; we believe in adding to your tool box, not emptying it. Support and CE is provided for all our trainers.
Got the people skills, but need some help with the dog side? Training is provided to the right candidate!

Clients are located throughout the Triangle region including Chapel Hill, Durham, Raleigh, Wake Forest, Clayton, Fuquay, Apex, and more. This region supports multiple full-time trainers.
