“Jesus is a very knowledgeable and encouraging trainer. From the moment he interacted with my dog he immediately began assessing what the functions of his behaviors were. He acts not only as a dog trainer but also as an instructor on the what and what not’s on how to properly handle your dog safely and with love. For first time dog owners like my family many things we just didn’t know when it came to interacting with our pet but Jesus acted as a guide into what it means to be experienced dog owners.”
“Dominique has been wonderful with my Australian Shepherd! He helped us make huge progress with leash pulling and crate training, and his calm, patient approach made all the difference. I’m so grateful for his guidance and highly recommend him.”
“Skylar did a consult since we are first time dog owners of a 13 week old puppy. He did an assessment of our home set up and dynamics. He provided us with very practical advice and handled our crazy little monster exceptionally since she is at that puppy stage where nipping and bitting is high.”
“Karina is a great listener and observes Gummy’s behaviors closely to show us how to properly communicate with our pet. She gives great advice and homework for us to work on between sessions to make sure the training is being integrated into our day to day lives with Gummy Bear. We will definitely continue to work with Karina for training and the other services she offers.”
“Great people that just Love Dogs. They really put their heart and souls into taking care of our dogs. Time, attention, and care. They can and will if available be taking care my dogs whenever we go out of town or need daycare.”
About: I am a strictly force free trainer; I do not use any aversive, fear, or pain but only positive reinforcement! My method is grounded in SAFETY and EMOTION. I don't just use a generic template, I provide customized guidance tailored specifically to your dog’s unique personality and your individual lifestyle, ensuring the training fits realistically into your world.
“We never had a dog before and Miran started training us and Rio when he was about 6 months old. He's now almost 4 and I'm still getting compliments about how well-behaved he is. Many of my friends have asked me who trained him. Miran uses positive, gentle reinforcement in her training and she is so loving that Rio still gets super excited every time she comes over. We're so grateful to have found her!!”
“Jose demonstrates a genuinely love of not just training dogs, but helping his clients understand their pets. He is very professional and puts a lot of care into working with the dogs and is very responsive to client needs. He puts together training programs that work towards achieving the clients goal, whether its protect or just basic obedience. He is very friendly, honest, and super easy to work with. Clients can expect to walk away with great results and feel empowered going forward.”
“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.”
“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.”
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 was amazing with my first training consultation with my puppy Chloe! She is very warm and supportive of new dog owners. Her expertise on dog breeds felt reassuring to me and I am grateful for her knowledge. Lei also sent a detailed outline on training tips and guidance. I highly recommend Lei!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”

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.
