Jacob was excellent with handling my dog, Sofia. He gave me clear and concise instructions and shared many ideas about changing her behavior. He was very patient with Sofia and kindly offered good advice. I think Jacob is an excellent dog trainer and I am 100% satisfied. Cathy R.

We contacted Declan and set up a phone interview. After that we booked a session for our dog’s leash behavior. Declan arrived on-time. Our senior pup was very growly towards him when he arrived. He showed us techniques to help quiet her down. In-house techniques were discussed and demonstrated. We then went out for a walk with further techniques and suggestions for us. The session with Declan was very helpful. He took notes and left us with some written “homework” for us to practice with our pup.

I brought home a rescue who was terrified of everything—loud noises, the leash, even my hands. I called Robyn; our free phone consultation was already a huge help and definitely made me want her in my home. She came to my house and watched him in his own space, spotted the little cues I’d missed, and explained why he was shut down. She showed gentle, reward-based ways to help him feel safe, and we practiced in real moments at home. She was just a text away whenever I had questions. Now he’s opening up, coming to me for comfort, and enjoying our walks.

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 Milwaukee.

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!

If you’re searching for a dog trainer in Milwaukee for the first time, visit the trainer’s profile and select the Contact button.

If you have an active request or have booked a service with a trainer before, learn more about how to do this in the Rover app or on your computer.

Rover makes it easy to find Milwaukee 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.

We get it—sometimes plans change and you may need to cancel your dog training service. You can cancel an upcoming booking directly from the Rover app or your computer, in accordance with your trainer’s cancellation policy.

Note: If your dog trainer requested to cancel this booking, then they need to cancel from their account. Please contact them via Rover Messages.
