“Holly was very welcoming to my puppy and I. She immediately bonded with him which made training so much more seamless. Any questions I had, Holly was more than happy to help me out and left me with very helpful knowledge!”
About: I believe what sets me apart is my hands-on experience working with dogs and my genuine passion for helping puppies get off to a great start. I focus on building a strong foundation through patience, consistency, positive reinforcement, and clear communication. My goal is to make training enjoyable while helping puppies develop good habits, confidence, and skills that will benefit them throughout their lives.
“Margaret was incredibly thoughtful and genuinely lovely to work with. She brought fresh ideas every time we hit a roadblock and understood my dog in a way that felt both intuitive and practical. She always had a creative solution ready to go, and thanks to her approach, my dog made a ton of progress in such a short time. 10/10 recommend!”
“The training session with Tyray went great! My dog, Tuxedo, responded very well to his instructions which were clear and easy to follow. I’m looking forward to working with him again soon.”
“Karen is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about her craft. She definitely exceeded my expectations for our first session. She is a great teacher and was very patient with all the questions we had. Highly recommend!”
“We reached out to Sandi when we recently got our 8 wk puppy and my daughter was absolutely terrified, Sandi not only taught our dog techniques but included our daughter in trainings and now they are the best of friends. We also recently had her out for one session of leash training our dog is now 3 and after one session and getting the recommended supplies pulling is no longer an issue. Highly recommend !”
“I was the medical officer & alternate trainer with Estefany Nina and honestly she's amazing at what she does. She takes a high energy, sometimes biting, sometimes 3x her size & she will return that dog like a straight A student. She's impressive, she bonds with the dogs, and she cares deeply about giving the dog - the families a better life. Tbh, she's a better trainer than I am. And I couldn't possibly be more proud of her.”
“Fantastic experience with Beth! She was exceptionally patient, listened to our needs, and gave us clear, actionable advice. She took the time to address all our concerns and made us feel very comfortable. We look forward to working with her more in the future for our dog’s training and eventually for a new cat!”
“Our dog trainer exceeded every expectation! Patient, knowledgeable, and effective, they transformed our dog’s behavior and confidence. We saw amazing results and highly recommend them.”

Trainers may recommend the first session to be in your home. Afterwards, where you and your trainer meet may change depending on your training goals.
For example, with obedience training, your trainer may start at home and then move to a park or a store. Sometimes, for specific training needs such as loose leash walking, quiet, low-traffic neighborhood routes around Manasquan can be a starting point. Ultimately, training can happen in many places, which is great for folks who want to raise a confident, social dog.
Each training session is unique and trainers can work with you and your dog's needs. As you evaluate which trainer is the best fit, you can read the "Sessions" section on their profile to get a sense of what the first class may be like.
Most trainers list where the sessions take place, the format or focus of each session, what techniques they'll use, and what materials they'll provide so that you and your dog can continue training between sessions.
If you have any additional questions about what to expect during your first session, ask the trainer during your consultation!
Reward-based training is the style of training that uses proactive management and positive outcomes, rewards, or reinforcements, such as treats, praise, or toys, to encourage dogs to choose desired behaviors. The purpose of this training method is to promote thinking, strengthen behaviors, and improve the relationship between you and your dog.
According to the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior, research shows that reward-based training with an emphasis in positive-reinforcement builds stronger human-animal bonds, reduces anxiety in dogs, and produces more reliable, lasting behavior. Rover is committed to this approach.
The type of credential you want to look for depends on the reason you're looking for a trainer. The most popular credentials on Rover include KPA-CTP, CPDT-KA, CCPDT, Fear-Free™, and Good Pup certification, however there are many qualifying credentials from reputable organizations and institutions that we accept.
You can find each trainer's credentials on their profile under the "More info" section. All trainers must submit their credentials and qualifying educational experience before being listed on Rover.
Every trainer on Rover goes through a multi-step approval process before they can accept bookings:
- Pass a third-party background check
- Show proof of education, credentials, or certification in dog training
- Commit to reward-based training methods
Rover does not support trainers who use aversive tools or punishment-based techniques.
Yes. Many trainers on Rover in the Manasquan area have experience with reactive dogs—including dogs who bark, lunge, or pull on leash—as well as dogs dealing with separation anxiety, fearful behavior, and reactivity in general.
Dense, high-stimulation environments can be especially challenging for reactive dogs, and working with a trainer who understands specific triggers can make a significant difference. You can filter for leash manners, reactivity, or anxiety to find trainers who specialize in addressing these behaviors.
Vaccination requirements are set by individual trainers, not by Rover. Many trainers may ask if your dog is up-to-date on core vaccines such as rabies, distemper, and bordetella.
For in-home or private outdoor sessions, requirements may be more flexible, especially for very young puppies still completing their vaccine series. Always confirm health requirements with your trainer before your first session.
We get it—sometimes plans change and you may need to cancel your dog training service. Each trainer sets their own cancellation policy and many offer a full refund if you cancel within their cancellation policy. You can find each trainer’s individual policy on their profile under their calendar availability.
Note: If your dog trainer requested to cancel this booking, then they need to cancel from their account. Please contact them via Rover Messages.
