“We had our first session with Dominique to help our dog Tater Tot with his separation anxiety last week. We also discussed with him that we wanted to work on Tater Tot's jumping and excitement when guests come over. Tater Tot has been peeing in the house a lot recently when we aren't home, or when we are not together in the house. Tater Tot also jumps on people and gets very excited when we have guests. In our first session, just an hour, Dominique worked with us to desensitize Tater Tot to our keys and us leaving for 5-15 seconds. He provided us with tools on how to keep Tater Tot busy during the day as well. He also showed us how to redirect Tater Tot when he gets excited and jumps on guests. Dominique knew immediately how to help us and Tater Tot with our concerns. He entered our home with such professionalism and kindness. We felt we were in great hands, and Tater Tot loved him. We plan to schedule more sessions with Dominique after doing the homework and training this week. Tater Tot is up to 20 seconds of us outside the house already! Recommend 100% for your training needs.”
About: I personally trained my dog myself. Through a lot of trial and error, this has become of passion of mine. I love helping others train theirs. I also find myself learning from others when offering tips or advice to help me with my own.
“Jesus arrived and went immediately to diagnosing our pup’s issues. He demonstrated techniques for giving Bo clear directions and reassuring him of success. Not surprisingly, we - Bo’s owners - were largely the problem! We look forward to Jesus’ help as we work with our pup.”
“Albert is a patient and reliable trainer who gives clear, consistent guidance and emphasizes follow-through. He truly believes every dog has the potential to become a well-behaved, happy member of the family, and he helps make that happen.”
About: I believe every person and every pet is different. What works for one pet and family may not work for another. I also believe in addressing root causes and understanding how pets communicate.
About: I work with both dogs and cats, combining training, holistic wellbeing, cognitive enrichment, and relaxation support to help pets and their people thrive. I help families better understand body language and behavior, while recognizing individual needs, offering choices, and supporting agency. My goal is to build confidence, trust, and stronger relationships through practical, compassionate guidance.
“I had some serious issues crate training my dog even after months of trying. Jaclyn helped me so much. Now my dog will go to her crate on her own even if no one has told her to because she feels so safe there. Thank you Jaclyn.”
“I highly recommend Miran K. as a dog trainer. She has helped train our German Shepherd puppy and has also boarded him for 12 days. She has provided instruction on basic commands, and helped with behavior issues such as pulling on the leash and nipping. She has been enormously helpful to us and has gone out of her way to help us and our puppy. She is very knowledgeable about dog breeds and good training practices. She makes a point to use positive reinforcement. She’s super friendly and is always willing to help any time. I highly recommend her for your dog training and boarding needs.”
“Kirk was attentive, had great communication, and was professional. I highly recommend him if you are looking for a good dog trainer. I can see the difference in the walk already and I really needed a change of experience with the doggo. Thanks Kirk!”
“I started working with Dolores Murray in 2021. When my dog was 11 weeks old we started to have weekly lessons. Dolores gave me and my dog different assignments to work on each week. My dog is now almost 4 years old. Dolores encouraged me to have my dog take the American Kennel Club “Canine Good Citizen” test. My dog passed all parts on the first try. I could not recommend Dolores Murray more highly. She can teach you how to train your dog but you have to follow through with the training every day. Today, I could not dream of having a better dog.”
“Jose is so wonderful! He was great with all of my dogs and was great at communicating to me what all my dogs needed and why. He helped ME learn a lot, too, which has helped me and my crew tremendously!”
About: I do not discriminate against any breed, or aggressive dogs. I have had ten years of experience working with dogs and spent two of them shadowing other trainers and learning what techniques work for me and what does not.
“Lei communicated really well with us and showed a great amount of professionalism and knowledge during our session. Her training plan was tailored for our needs and she took her time to listen to our goals. We will continue to use her services!”
“Brad is a wonderful trainer. He is very patient, both with my pup and me! I am so thankful to his help with leash behavior, addressing issues of separation anxiety and integration of our dog into our multi-cat household. He is very responsive and answers questions thoughtfully. He is a gem!”
“I met Kate when my puppy, Pippin was just 13 weeks old. I can't tell you how lucky both Pippin and I were! Kate's approach - partnership between person and dog, attentiveness to one another - builds great friendships while also teaching great skills. Pippin has learned all I've asked of him, and with no stress. His whole body wags when he sees "Auntie Kate" every week!”
“Taylor has an excellent rapport with my dog. He took to her immediately and every training session we’ve learned at least two new things that stay with him after she’s gone.”
“I was very impressed with Lindsay’s professional dog training knowledge and her ability to bond with Rusty. She gave me some helpful advice and I am looking forward to her training session.”

Dog Training FAQs
Frequently asked questions about Rover
Trainers listing on Rover must be credentialed dog trainers, commit to reward-based training methods, and pass a background check to offer dog training in Arlington.
Reward-based training encourages dogs to offer desired behaviors by reinforcing the behavior with something the dog likes; treats, play, or toys. Reward-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!
Rover makes it easy to find Arlington dog trainers to provide loving care from their own home. The background-checked, 5-star trainers you can find on Rover will work with you and your dog to build new skills and address behaviors. Dog trainers can work on:
- Puppy training, adult dog training, agility training, clicker training and advanced training.
- Behaviors such as barking, leash manners, leash reactivity, house manners, jumping, fearful behavior, anxious behavior, separation distress, recall, biting, chewing, mouthiness, potty training and resource guarding.
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.
