Laurel is so patient and kind. Very knowledgeable and professional! Jazzie and I are feeling more confident just after two sessions. I’m very grateful. Life was becoming difficult with an anxious dog.

I cannot say enough kind things about Val. She has one of the calmest demeanors of anyone I have ever met. She showed up prepared with research and a printed plan. She took notes and did great with my anxious puppy. I was very overwhelmed with my puppy’s behavior until Val came over. Now I not only see progress, but I have hope

Brittany is very knowledgeable and gave us some great tips to use when working with our dog! Our dog went to her instantly, which is a great sign. He was very comfortable around her. She is awesome and we will definitely be connecting with Brittany very soon for some training sessions! Thanks Brittany!

She has a lot of experience with dogs not only in training , but also in their physical and mental health needs! Ludmilla has a wealth of knowledge that we are so thankful to receive at each training session! We are seeing noticeable differences in our puppy's behavior - for the better! I would highly recommend her - worth every penny!

We had a fantastic experience with Becca. She uses positive reinforcement methods that were good for the dog and me.Becca is incredibly patient and clearly explains each step of the training process. Can’t wait to see what the next session brings.

About: My method is called "Believe and Bond." I also specialize in training shelter dogs. Many trainers fix problems, but I build relationships. My approach isn't about commands but about understanding your dog's perspective and building a partnership rooted in trust. My method empowers you to become your dog's most trusted guide. This positive, reward-based approach makes training a fun, joyful experience for both of you. It's not just about a dog learning to obey, it's about you and your dog learning to communicate, trust, and love each other. It's about creating a bond for life with your dog.

About: My background is in Communication and Psychology,. Throughout my dog training experience, I've seen the foundations of human psychology overlaps to dog behavior and I use that skill in teaching each Team (that's you and your pup!).

About: What sets me apart from other trainers is my self teaching through discovery training style. It allows the dog to learn at their own pace and it makes behaviors more reliable when they feel as if they have figured out what brought them success. I am currently a detection dog handler so I have to train my dog daily in order to save lives, so training is second nature to me as it is my profession.

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 Atlanta.

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!

If you’re searching for a dog trainer in Atlanta for the first time, visit the trainer’s profile and select the Contact button.

If you have an active request or have booked a service with a trainer before, learn more about how to do this in the Rover app or on your computer.

Rover makes it easy to find Atlanta 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.

We get it—sometimes plans change and you may need to cancel your dog training service. You can cancel an upcoming booking directly from the Rover app or your computer, in accordance with your trainer’s cancellation policy.

Note: If your dog trainer requested to cancel this booking, then they need to cancel from their account. Please contact them via Rover Messages.
