“Tommy has been a Godsend to me. I thought that maybe I was just too old to have a young dog, but he showed me how to work with Gunnar in the simplest way that has totally changed our lives. The difference in our walks is nothing short of amazing, but the impact is felt in the home too. He is always available for questions and support, and I love watching his videos for reminders, tips and tricks. I would and do recommend training with Tommy to everyone. My daughter-in-law took his classes and was equally thrilled. Most importantly, Gunnar loves and trust Tommy too!”

“Beatrix is the most important member of our team, Max, the pup, me and Beatrix. After Max broke his leg at 12 weeks, I faced intense performance anxiety. Enter patient, kind and knowledgeable Beatrix. Her deep love for pets and expertise in their development were critical to our training. Our sessions were always safe, fun, and positive.”

“Nichole was fantastic with my little man! A friend referred me to her and told me to give virtual training a try and now I won’t go back to in person. She was extremely knowledgeable and we immediately felt comfortable working with her. Definitely recommend if you need a trainer and you don’t even have to leave the house!”

“I was really disappointed with my experience. I paid $93 for a consultation that could have easily been done over the phone. During the session, the trainer didn’t even interact with my dog and basically just asked me questions from a pre-filled questionnaire. At the end, I was given two training plans that felt generic and AI-generated, rather than personalized to my dog. Overall, I felt like I didn’t get the value I expected and would not recommend this service.”

Dog Training FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Trainers listing on Rover must be credentialed dog trainers, commit to reward-based training methods, and pass a background check to offer dog training in Baltimore.

Reward-based training encourages dogs to offer desired behaviors by reinforcing the behavior with something the dog likes; treats, play, or toys. Reward-based training prioritizes using the least intrusive intervention; it promotes thinking rather than punishing mistakes.

When rewards are used, the likelihood the behavior is repeated increases. The positive connection to the reward results in making learning enjoyable, strengthens the human animal bond and over time leads to consistent desired behaviors.

Training can happen many places — your home, a park, a store, or anywhere else that you and your trainer decide is best for the training you are doing! Many trainers will recommend training in your home. This allows them to observe your dog in their natural environment so they can effectively assess and best help reach your training goals.

Trainers will often mention on their profile where they typically hold training sessions, but you can always contact a trainer to learn more!

Rover makes it easy to find Baltimore dog trainers to provide loving care from their own home. The background-checked, 5-star trainers you can find on Rover will work with you and your dog to build new skills and address behaviors. Dog trainers can work on:

  • Puppy training, adult dog training, agility training, clicker training and advanced training.
  • Behaviors such as barking, leash manners, leash reactivity, house manners, jumping, fearful behavior, anxious behavior, separation distress, recall, biting, chewing, mouthiness, potty training and resource guarding.

Of course! Having a trainer that is the right fit for both you and your pup is an important step to reaching your training goals. We recommend reaching out to any trainer that interests you. Your initial request is not final until both you and the trainer decide you want to move forward with booking.

Also, trainers may offer or require consultations. Make sure to ask trainers so you can make the best decision for you and your pet.

Many trainers on Rover indicate experience in a wide range of behaviors, from puppy training to more advanced behaviors and training types.

Review a trainer’s profile to see if their experience aligns with your needs, and if you have questions, don’t hesitate to contact them to ensure they’re the right trainer for you and your pet.
