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.”
Zona H.
About: I have extensive experience with incorporating Play into my training. I will make training sessions fun and enjoyable for the whole family. With me, I prioritize the well-being of your pet and will curate my training plan to fit the individual households needs!
Sara C.
About: I love dogs, and have a passion for helping their families communicate well with them. The more I learn about dogs, the more I learn how relevant all my past work in education, mental health and health care helps me now. Dogs go through the same stages of development we do, they have the same trauma responses we do, their emotions are deep. This knowledge helps me to help you to understand and communicate with your dog. I am a trained listener, so when you have an issue with your dog I will truly listen to you. I keep learning fun making it a great bonding time.
Emma B.
About: While I am relatively new to providing training professionally, I have been working on growing my knowledge and skill to train my own dogs, shelter dogs I work with, and client dogs of other services. I've gained substantial skill and am comfortable with aggressive and reactive dogs, but I am always working to further my education and learn more to better help the pets I serve (and their people).

“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.”

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.
