Joshua W.
“Joshua was a joy. I could tell he knows his stuff and my puppy responded fairly quickly during the time he was here. I booked Joshua for the Puppy Foundation training and can't wait to start!”
Andrew F.
“Andrew was both professional and very friendly. From the first zoom interaction, I felt very comfortabl and know that he will be able to help me and Toby become better.”
Maureen E.
About: I love to work on building the relationship between the two ends of the leash. Keeping things positive and fun. Helping your dog feel comfortable and confident in the world and growing the shared language between each partner.
Charleise W.
“Charleise is a very effective dog trainer. She will treat your dog with respect and gentle firmness. She has been trained in both early childhood education and dog training. She is aware of the importance of a well trained dog in a family. You can trust her with your family's fur baby.”
JOSEPH P.
“Joseph was patient, polite, and a calming force on my one-year-old doodle. I learned a lot in the first session and have booked him twice a week for the next month. I'm excited to train Sammy properly and recommend using Joseph, who specializes in correcting animal behavior.”
Lindsey Y.
“Lindsey was a huge help in training my Labrador puppy named Rebel. She trained us in the home, was patient, friendly, and knowledgeable. It was obvious she enjoys working with pets, especially dogs. We learned many standard obedience skills which included hand signals. To this day, we still use these skills! Lindsey was a great trainer for us and I highly recommend her for your furry loved ones.”
Mariah K.
About: I have experience working not only in basic obedience and house manners for companion animals, but a background also in task training service animals, and working with dogs with serious behavioral concerns both in a home, and shelter setting. I believe every dog deserves an individual approach, and that all avenues should be explored (including genetics, potential medical concerns, known history, daily routine, and more!). My goal is to help you and your dog both, and develop communication and understanding between you that lasts long after our final session!
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.
