Jackie’s Basics and Beyond

I highly recommend Jackie's Basics and Beyond Dog Training. Jackie and her very educated staff have done an amazing job not only helping us train our dog but really educating myself and my husband about our puppy and the way to have the best relationship with her. We have only been going about eight weeks but the progress is so substantial, we will be here for years to come. More...

One of the only training places that also trains the human!! So much about dog training is getting humans to remember the cues and what to do. Jackie and her team know this and have been incredibly supportive in helping us reach our dog training goals. :) More...

We were very fortunate to have met Jackie Kelly years ago and worked with her to train our beautiful white Labrador puppy, Shayna, to become a Therapy Dog. The immediate relationship she developed with our dog was incredible and she taught us all the necessary training skills to accomplish our goal and then some. We recently had the opportunity to work with her again training Taz. Our dogs look forward to going and learning through different means such as agility training, fun activities all while learning so many different skills and tasks to become happy, obedient and loving dogs. To see their progress in such a short period of time is amazing. Jackie is so dedicated and compassionate and it shows through with everything she does. A true “dog whisperer” and a genuine loving individual. We are looking forward to doing more classes with our dogs who love going and learning new tricks and skills at every class. She is by far the BEST!!! More...

We have been with Jackie’s since she opened her facility. I have had 3 Golden Retrievers trained by her and her staff. If you have a dog and would like to get the most out of your relationship with your dog I highly recommend training. It also allow others to enjoy your dog as well. Please remember that no dog is too old to be trained. My first Golden Retriever was 8 years old when we started training, my Second one was 4 years old, and my Third one was 10 weeks old. They all became Therapy Dogs. And my last one is also training and competing in Obiedience Competition. I have enjoyed training my dogs with her and her staff and also getting to make new friends.

Jackie is quite simply, the best dog training professional in the area! She has been training my two dogs for 5 1/2years now. Actually, it's more like she's been training ME to interact with my dogs and bring out the best in them--including my yorkiepoo who was transformed from being whiny (that high pitch yorkie 'talk'), resistant to potty training, and more attached to dogs than people into a dog who is loving, disciplined, socialized, and well adjusted. Jackie's enthusiasm and natural insights into dogs make classes engaging and fun. Thanks to her, my dogs have obtained certification in Canine Good Citizen (including Advanced Level) and Therapy Dog International. The dogs and I continue to learn much from Jackie. I've referred people to her over the years who've been unsatisfied with previous trainers, and they've been pleased with Jackie, their dog's improvement, and the welcoming community of Jackie's staff and clients. It's amazing to see what all of the dogs accomplish at the several fun-filled events she hosts every couple of months. These are usually posted on her website and some are open to the public.

We've had Hanzo in puppy class, intermediate, and are now in advanced with Brad. He is an amazing trainer who gets both the dog and human because really both are being trained. Cannot recommend them high enough!

I never thought I would be able to have Django listen off leash let alone do agility off leash. I absolutely love and trust the trainers and their personalized training with you & your dog. Django's so happy I found Jackie's Basics and Beyond and so am I. I highly recommend these doggy training lovers More...

Jackie and Cameron are both amazing dog trainers and people. We adopted my Pomeranian yogi from an older women who had not socialized him a great deal. Before going to Jackie, yogi was very timid and didn't even take treats out of our hands. After just a few weeks of training, he is a completely different dog. Jackie understood how to connect with him without overwhelming him. We also have a young - and HIGHLY energetic puppy named Boo Boo. Not only has Jackie done an amazing job training Boo, but boo truly LOVES going to class each week. It is such a treat for both of us. More...

My dogs have been with trainer Jackie Kelly for 4 years . Jackie is a naturally gifted dog whisperer with extraordinary talent . You would think its about changing the dogs behavior but all the time it was me changing and allowing my dogs to achieve . I am amazed every time I have even gone . I never thought my life would turn from general puppy classes and now therapy dogs . Jackie's Basic and Beyond offers community fund raising opportunities and public expos with plenty of fun . I highly recommend Jackie and her team of skilled trainers ! Basics and Beyond is a piece of heaven on earth ! More...

My husband Blake and I started seeing Jackie when our 5 year old lab mix was just a puppy. She is absolutely amazing with the dogs and I'm still blown away at all our 4 legged fur baby knows! We continued to see Jackie for agility classes long after Lily (our dog) was "trained". It was so good for her. We would still be going if we had not moved away from Raleigh. I highly recommend Jackie to anyone looking to not only train their dog, but build a positive lasting relationship with their canine companion! More...

Have been taking my dog to Jackie for several years. Love the way she adapts goals to the physical limitations of my dog (eyesight).

Jackie Kelly is the absolute best dog trainer. I have been working with Jackie for almost four years with two different dogs. The dogs adore her and we have so much fun every week. Any one who wants to learn the true intelligence of their dog needs to bring them to basic training, agility and advance classes here! More...
