“The trainer was extremely professional, punctual, and highly knowledgeable in the areas where I needed guidance with my adopted puppy. She provided practical tips, effective training techniques, and valuable tools to help me confidently handle a variety of situations. Her expertise and patience made a significant difference, and I highly recommend her services. I will definitely hire her again in the future.”
Stacy M.
“Stacy has been amazing to work with! She’s incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and truly cares about the dogs she works with. Xena absolutely loves her, and we’ve seen so much growth in her confidence. One of the biggest things for me is how much I can trust her. Knowing Xena is happy, safe, and in such good hands gives me peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend Stacy to anyone looking for a trainer who genuinely cares about both dogs and their owners!”

“Cynthia brought her incredible wealth of knowledge, experience, dedication, intelligence and heart to our session. For anyone struggling with a dog with behavior issues; aggression, fear, reactivity or chronic pain - or training a new puppy, Cynthia is my #1 recommendation. She gave me a personalized treatment plan for my dog, resources, support, empathy, and peace of mind. Best thing I ever did for my dog!”

About: I have personally owned several varieties of dog from Irish Wolfhound to Mini-pinscers, tall to small and everywhere in between. I personally like working with larger dogs. I am 5-11, 240 lbs and can handle larger stronger dogs with on leash pulling issues. I am retired from 30 yrs of construction, and this is my second career to last me into old age.

Frequently asked questions about Dog Training on Rover
To list on Rover, trainers must:
Pass a third-party background check
Show proof of education or certification in dog training
Commit to rewards-based training
Rewards-based training encourages dogs to offer desired behaviors by reinforcing the behavior with something the dog likes, including treats, play, or toys. Rewards-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!
No problem! When you initially contact a trainer, you will be prompted to select a proposed first session date — this is not final, and is confirmed only if both parties decide to move forward. We also recommend contacting multiple trainers to make sure you find a trainer that is the right fit for you and your pet.
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.
