“My little Chim Cham ChaRooRoo loved Daniel! He usually excitable pees and barks with people he first meets. Even after 1 session, Chim Cham ChaRooRoo was acting calmer. Im definitely going to rebook Daniel and looking forward to the peeing/barking to be less.”
“Hilary has been helping me out with taking my crazy Australian Cattle Dog/Mountian Cur mix out. She has continued to work on and help refine the skills that my dog needs to learn to be able to go out on walks and not be so reactive. Her ability to make sure he is staying focused and ensure that he has the best chance to succeed really makes me feel comfortable with her helping refine his training. She truly is incredibly talented in training.”
“Kerry visited Roo in our home for an hour and answered all of our questions about our young puppy! She was very knowledgeable and was able to give us tips for training Roo and setting her up for success. She also gave us tips for next step training milestones. Highly recommend Kerry for a consultation if you have questions about training your puppy!”
“Autumn was friendly, knowledgeable and patient during this “meet and greet” session. We asked a lot of questions and felt Autumn would be a great trainer for our rambunctious puppy.”
“Ali is a great trainer. I love that she used positive reinforcement and she meets your and your pet where you're at. She is flexible, supportive, and very knowledgeable. My dog has had great positive changes thanks to her teachings.”
“Catherine is hands down one of the best trainers I have ever worked with. Catherine and I met when she was our group puppy trainer. She helped us with foundational work and when the need arose, created specialty group classes for service dogs in training in our area. Catherine was also hired as our private trainer coming in and our of our home to get my puppy. I am extremely picky with who I let in my home and work with my dog. She is truly unlike anyone I have ever met in the industry and has a heart of gold.”
About: Over a decade of hands-on experience combined with national certification as a working dog trainer for odor detection. I’ve trained dogs with real world purpose, not just basic obedience. My approach is high-energy, reward-based, and focused on making training fun for the dog. I don’t just teach commands...I build a bond. I treat every pet like an individual, adapting my style to fit their personality. Whether it’s a high-drive working dog or a family pup, I bring structure, excitement, and results.
“Harlie has done the training for both of my dogs so far. She is gentle, kind and always willing to listen. She actually sits down and listens to what your wanting and creates a plan that not only works with your pet but she takes into account your schedule and offers payment plans and sessions for all budgets”

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 Cary.
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 Cary 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.
