“I would consider Maddie a dog whisperer. She helped us train our beloved pup Charlotte. Also provided advice and tools to continue the training at home. Because of Maddie, Charlotte knows the place command, sit, down, shake, and some leash control. Beyond being a great trainer Maddie is the sweetest, most kind person.”
“Zach has been wonderful in helping with Cashmere! He focus's on positive reinforcement and is able to tailor training to help correct problem issues. Cashmere loves to work with Zach and is delighted to see him every time. Highly recommend Zach!”
“We had Ryne for a 5-week training program with our anxious nippy puppy with great success. His method of using gentle reinforcement helped us significantly improve his behavior and become the loving puppy we wanted! I highly recommend Ryne.”
About: Trainer for busy people. Can drop-in and begin training. After which I leave practice work for family and accept free video submission notes, tips, and guidance. From pilling to crate/potty training to socialization, behavioral tactics or fun/useful tricks, your dog will look forward to training! Choose from almost 40 tricks in addition to behavioral issues. Each dog and family is different and I look forward to catering a plan specifically for your pups needs, learning level, temperament, breed, age and intelligence. Ask me for example videos!
About: Different people have different needs and dogs are unique individuals, so it's essential that a dog trainer/teacher be well versed in dog behavior and various principles of ethology/animal behavior and psychology. They also need to be able to assess the nature of dog-human interactions.
About: I focus on building a true partnership between the dog and the owner. Not just simply teaching commands, but knowing what your dog really wants. Building trust and transforming your relationship. My training is built around clear communication, consistency, confidence and understanding why a dog behaves the way it does, so owners can create lasting results at home and in everyday life. I believe every dog is unique, which means training should be tailored to the individual dog, the family, and the goals they want to achieve. Beyond that I also train service dogs. I run a 501c3.

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 Omaha 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 Omaha 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.
