About: Since I was a child I have loved and wanted to be around dogs. I have dedicated every free moment of my life to gaining experience and knowledge about dog behavior, training and care, and my goal is to use this knowledge to help owners create lasting changes while helping them build closer bonds with their pets.
“Sarah has been a very loving dog sitter for us for many years. She is reliable, personable, and our dog loves her. He literally runs out to her car to greet her when she comes to our home. More recently, Sarah has begun training Boomer, working on the "heel" command with which he has struggled in the past. He has made real progress under her loving care! I highly recommend Sarah as a trainer. She really connects with dogs and gains their trust, making the whole process of training more fruitful with minimal frustration.”
“Pilar has been an incredible dog trainer for my puppy, Boogie. Initially, I was overwhelmed because my dog was bouncing off the walls with endless energy. When I started working with Pilar, she immediately added structure to Boogie’s life in a way that was easy for us to understand. Through consistent efforts, Boogie is amazing to take on walks and has much better and reliable manners around the house. Pilar gave me peace of mind by answering all of my questions and guiding me through all of my puppies phases as a first time dog owner. I’m always getting compliments on how well behaved my dog is when I take her on walks now. I cannot recommend Pilar enough!”
“Jojo and I worked with Debra for over a year on agility training. She was outstanding with JoJo (and me). Jojo went from being skittish when running the course to compete confidence. Jojo was excited to see Debra and go to agility training.”
“Simone did an amazing job training our dog, Boomer. Before working with her, he would get overly excited and jump on visitors at the door. She patiently taught him to go straight to his kennel and stay there calmly whenever guests arrive. The difference has been incredible—Boomer now listens, stays calm, and our home feels much more welcoming. Simone was professional, patient, and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for positive and effective dog training.”
About: As your dog trainer, I won’t just be teaching you how to train a dog; I will be helping you bridge a communication gap between you and your dog. I will teach you how to work with your dog in a way that puts an end to frustrating behaviors while simultaneously building and strengthening your bond. I am experienced in multiple different fields of dog training, including service dog training, puppy training, basic obedience training, reactivity, etc. and have worked with a variety of breeds and temperaments.
“I live in Massachusetts and Cecilia helped me train my labradoodle via video lessons. All we used was a clicker and food ( treat size morsels). I have the most well behaved and happy dog and the envy of the neighborhood. I highly recommend Cecilia for her services.”
“I highly recommend Geraldine (G) . She was my dog’s puppy trainer and was the best! She was professional, patient, and very informative. Most importantly, my dog loved her!”
About: I specialize exclusively in positive reinforcement techniques, focusing on effective communication and individualized training plans. This ensures each dog’s unique needs and personality are respected and catered to
“Andrea’s training with my pup Canelo has been invaluable. She helped us dial in leash work, “leave it,” and most importantly, getting him calm and confident in public. The progress has been real and noticeable. She’s patient, clear, and knows what she’s doing. I’m genuinely grateful for her guidance. Highly recommend.”
About: I also do work full time as a professional K9 behaviorist at a corporate company. I prioritize educating and supporting pet parents. Training doesn’t stop when our session ends, so I make sure you understand the techniques, timing, and mindset needed to continue progress at home. My goal is a well-balanced dog and a confident, connected human on the other end of the leash. Speak mandarin. 講國語
“Great experience with Adrianne! Our session was really helpful and I already feel more confident working with my dog. She made everything easy to understand and gave me tools I can actually use. I’m excited to keep working with her and see our doodle at his best. Highly recommend”
“Regina was so great and knowledgeable! She was able to identify what my two dogs needed and how to help them. She gave me homework to work on with them, and ways to continue improving their behaviors. So grateful I found her. Looking forward to continuing working with her.”
About: I don't focus solely on treats. I'm able to win the dogs mind over to where they respect and mind their owner the first time. Positive reinforcement in a new light.

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 Oceanside.
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 Oceanside 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.
