“Mara is the BEST ever!! Truly!! Oh my goodness, we are beyond grateful for her. We reached out for help with our 5-year-old German Shepherd, and WOW—Cooper is a completely different dog after just 6 weeks! We originally inquired about leash walking, but he learned so many more foundational obedience skills that have made everyday life so much easier. She not only loved our pup so well, but also equipped us with the tools and confidence to continue training. She explains the WHY behind everything and was always available for guidance. We can’t recommend her enough!!”
“My Italian Greyhound and I have attended several classes with Marie. It started with some concerning behavior that Marie really helped us with. We then attended scent training by Marie and `Awiwi excelled and really enjoyed himself. It was so fun finding something he loved to do. Marie is fantastic--patient with dogs and people and very thoughtful and full of resources. I highly recommend getting to know Marie and having some fun with your doggo!”
About: I have worked primarily with rescue dogs, so I have experience with even the most stubborn dogs. This has taught me how deep-rooted and sophisticated a dog’s mind truly is, and how much we often misunderstand them. Throughout my time training these dogs, I have discovered the simplest way to help dog owners truly understand what their dog really needs.

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 Honolulu.
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 Honolulu 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.
