About: As your dog trainer, I won’t just be teaching you how to train a dog; I will be helping you bridge a communication gap between you and your dog. I will teach you how to work with your dog in a way that puts an end to frustrating behaviors while simultaneously building and strengthening your bond. I am experienced in multiple different fields of dog training, including service dog training, puppy training, basic obedience training, reactivity, etc. and have worked with a variety of breeds and temperaments.
Debra E.
“Jojo and I worked with Debra for over a year on agility training. She was outstanding with JoJo (and me). Jojo went from being skittish when running the course to compete confidence. Jojo was excited to see Debra and go to agility training.”
Melinda R.
“Melinda was phenomenal. She helped me get started with my sweet Daisy and offered great insight and recommendations to help my puppy adjust to her new home. She was very attentive and even practiced positive-reinforcement techniques with us during Daisy’s leash walks. Thanks to her guidance, I feel confident that with time, training, and consistency, my sweet Daisy will grow into a confident and happy dog.”
April S.
“April is excellent. She is kind and patient. She had one session with my Dexter and I can see a significant difference. The homework she provides is clear and concise.”
Cecilia A.
“I live in Massachusetts and Cecilia helped me train my labradoodle via video lessons. All we used was a clicker and food ( treat size morsels). I have the most well behaved and happy dog and the envy of the neighborhood. I highly recommend Cecilia for her services.”

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.
