Coralie D.
“Coralie came to our house for a first session with our new rescue dog, Archie. She was responsive, professional, and is clearly very experienced working with dogs. Our boy Archie sat at her feet waiting for attention after she arrived, then sat waiting for direction from her without her doing anything obvious. She seems to know how to use body language and energy/co-regulation to communicate what she needs from dogs. We need to learn how to do this too, so we can best communicate with Archie and keep him and us safe on walks, in public, etc. We will be hiring Coralie to come back next week and will practice the exercises she gave us between now and then. Coralie seems to have a master of her craft and she helps some of the highest needs dogs out there…we’re very happy we found her!”
Kimberley H.
“Before receiving therapy and training from Kim Hampton my rescue dog was anxious and unsure of himself resulting in some seriously difficult behaviors at home and in public. Now after her thoughtful training sessions with the dog and with me he's getting confidence in himself and trust in me and is a pleasure to have around the house and around the community. Kim has a true gift for understanding and connecting with dogs and I'm so grateful to her for connecting me to mine in a really healthy and satisfying way for us both.”

Shannon W.
“Met Shannon for the first time for a consultation to get some guidance on correctly training my 8w old puppy, she was helpful & provided suggestions! We tried one suggestion & it seems to be working!”
Asher "A.C." A.
“AC's talent for working with dogs is rooted in his observational skills giving him an ability to continuously adapt and a knack for critical assessment. AC has risen to the challenge of working with my reactive GSD with a sense of caring that is incredibly refreshing and exactly what my sensitive dog needs! In addition to having a natural talent for understanding dogs, AC's excitement and passion for both dog training and dog cognition makes him an excellent trainer and caregiver. If you want someone who cares about dogs as much as you care about yours, AC is a great fit!”

About: During our consultation, we will figure out which positive reinforcement training method will work best for your pup. As we are doing this, I will be outlining a training plan for you & your pup (which you will get a copy of!) After each lesson with your pup, (if available) I ask all pet parents to join me for a quick briefing to see what their pup has learned. As well as showing them what has been working for them & how to continue after our lesson.

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.
