Ellen Kirkland is a SIRIUS® Certified Puppy Dev. Specialist, Dog Trainer and Behavior Consultant
Breed Selection Consultations
At Raleigh Dog Training, we specialize in puppy development. Our approach is minimally aversive and rewards-based. It teaches your dog how to navigate social situations in a calm, attentive, and polite manner. We focus on preventing dangerous, destructive, or rude behaviors by emphasizing early socialization and training essential skills for a companion or family pet, such as bite inhibition, coming when called, being still on command, impulse control, and good manners, and of course, basic obedience. We believe that training should be a pleasant experience for both dogs and their humans. Breed selection is the key to a harmonious home, as a compatible breed aligns with your lifestyle ( breed consultations at no charge). Early socialization, play dates, and our puppy sessions and classes are integral to raising a well-adjusted pet. Our methods reflect this philosophy. Early training and socialization help avoid the need for social remediation and behavior modification later in your dog's life. By investing time upfront with individualized training plans, you can prevent the need for costly behavior modification down the line.
Ellen Kirkland is a SIRIUS® Certified Puppy Development Specialist. What is SIRIUS®? Accordng to the SIRIUS® website it is the original puppy school founded by Dr. Ian Dunbar, renowned DVM, and canine behaviorist. He created and taught the world's very first puppy class in the San Francisco Bay Area over 30-years-ago. SIRIUS®Puppy Training revolutionized pet dog training harnessing the power of early, stage-appropriate learning. He asked, "Why do we continue to waste puppyhood?"

Our extensive off-leash training employs balanced training techniques with a strong focus on developing reliable recall. We also prepare dogs for various activities such as running alongside a bicycle, hiking, kayaking, riding on a side-by-side or four-wheeler, and boating. These training sessions are specifically designed for dogs who do not exhibit aggression, leash, or fear reactivity. If any of these issues arise, they can be effectively addressed through our canine behavior consultancy and customized individualized training plans.
