Stacy S.
“Stacy is extremely flexible, patient, and kind. She is working with my Ryder (who is a handful and reactive) with the most care and support possible. She works with your needs and wants and is overall awesome. We are currently on our second session, moving on to our third, and our Ryder has already improved so much. I 100% recommend working with Stacy if you are in need of a trainer.”
Zane T.
“Zane was great, very nice and listened to what was needed for my dog. He was great with my husky rescue, she gets scared easily and he took time to let her warm up to him, and helped with some training for her.”
Sparrow D.
About: I'll tell you HOW to get results and WHY the methods will work, to encourage independence and education for both you and your pup long-term. My goal is NOT to become yet another annual subscription service. We will work together to come up with a plan that makes sense to everyone in the family and can be executed by everyone uniformly. I want to help your family become a dog training team in your own right so your pup gets consistent messaging and everyone can feel empowered in how they should react to problem behaviors or how they can encourage new good ones.
Sarah L.
“Sarah has helped train my pup since she was 8 weeks old. She learned a lot of great foundational skills we still rely on. Examples include how to manage going in and out doors without drama, being tripped etc., leash walking, socialization with other dogs, settle - even in distractions, and more. Now I can literally take my dog anywhere and she is well-behaved. (I did my homework!) All sessions are based on positive reinforcement. Even today, when my pup sees Sarah, she actually whimpers in pleasure and excitement to see her and be greeted! I highly recommend Sarah as a trainer.”
Michael A.
“Mike is an amazing trainer who has a wealth of knowledge about all kinds of dogs and issues! He can do the basics through expert tricks! Crate training! Muzzle training! He does it all! He has really helped me train my dog Charley who has many deep seated issues and my dog really trusts him”

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.
