How do people feel about Rover offering dog training?

How do people feel about Rover offering Dog Training? I am not talking about Dog Training for the OTCH at Obedience Trials (although what is incorporated for competitive obedience at the lower levels is basic training for any dog)-what I am indicating is Basic Good Manners. ie Come when called, walking on a loose lead without pulling etc. I do see they are asking for people who have experience with Dog Grooming. So perhaps Rover may consider offering training.

They don't offer it, but I have a lot of Rover clients who utilize my training services for basic dog manners. I also offer training to run along a bike and then offer bike walks. I just add extra charges separately as needed. Just keep training in mind when you work with clients if you are a trainer, point out problem behaviours if they don't and in a friendly way say that you can help. Even if not hired for training I do little stuff and often that gets noticed.

The Rover team doesn't monitor this site often so don't expect a response from them. Training is beyond the core services offered and may open up another area of liability. As an independent contractor you can offer these services if you wish.

Yes training is beyond the scope of what Rover offers, but yet Rover asked if one does dog grooming (a rather huge liability for that, particularly if the dog is injured by scissors or a hot clipper blade).
