Eileen always has answers and great suggestions to any of our worries. She practices with us to see if there are minor adjustments to our practices which is very reassuring. And above all, she is pleasant and professional.

Ashley was a great help in training our 12 week old foster pup. She gave very clear commands and advice for all of the key training at this age. I would recommend Ashley to anyone and will definitely rebook in the future.

We had a phenomenal experience working with Chris and will be reaching out to him again for any dog training needs in the future! We have a 5 year old cavapoo (male) who had some minor behavioral concerns. Chris brought his vast knowledge/experience into our home and the changes we saw in our dog have been amazing. His training techniques/strategies were extremely helpful and we continue to use/reinforce them as owners. We would highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for a dog trainer!

He did an amazing job with my French Bulldog, Jeter. Anytime someone asks how Jeter is so well-behaved, I always recommend him without hesitation. He’s officially my go-to dog trainer on Long Island.

I have shared my life with dogs for over 30 years and have had many different dog trainers throughout that time and can honestly say Ashley is the best dog trainer I have ever worked with. She is confident and patient with an amazing ability to connect with both dogs and their people!! Ashleys knowledge when it comes to training pups of all levels is beyond impressive. If you’re willing to put the time and effort in you will find that Ashleys training practices will result in a well balanced, behaved dog with manners and a stronger bond ! She is truly the best!

FAQs

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.
