“I had a great consultation session with Val! Professional, kind, and extremely helpful. Just after one session I feel like I have some helpful building blocks to work with. with my leash reactive pup.”
About: I am a calm person with a calm demeanor and dogs need understanding on their level. Training to me is about trying to understand how the owner thinks and how to better help communicate with their pets. Since dogs don't fully speak English, they understand things a bit differently. They understand through tone and body language. I hope to make this barrier between language a bit easier for both parties.
About: With 6 years of hands-on dog training experience and certification through GoodPup, I specialize in reward-based training that builds trust, communication, and confidence. Every dog is different, so I tailor my approach to each dog’s personality, learning style, and individual needs. I focus not only on teaching commands, but on helping pet parents better understand their dogs and create lasting, positive habits at home.
“Storm had another great session with Julian! He worked on leash reactivity at a busy park and blocking out distractions. Storm was doing great by the end of the training!”
“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!”
“Nate has taken care of my dog for years, and I couldn’t recommend him more! He genuinely loves animals and is caring, responsible, and dependable. I’ve always felt completely comfortable knowing my dog is in his care. He treats animals like family, is attentive to their needs, and makes sure they are happy, safe, and well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust Nate with my dog or recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter.”
About: Having personal and professional experience with dogs from all backgrounds and living situations, I am able to offer individualized training plans rather than a one size fits all approach.
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: I've worked in the dog industry for nearly 10 years now. Training for me is about helping you build a shared language with your dog so that you can easily communicate and coexist together. I want to ensure that the experience is fun and rewarding for both you and your pup!
About: What sets me apart is over 20 years of hands-on dog training experience combined with an individualized approach. I take the time to understand each dog’s personality, motivation, and learning style rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. I focus on positive reinforcement, clear communication, and practical skills that work in everyday life. My goal is to help your dog become confident, well-mannered, and enjoyable to live with while giving you the tools to maintain lasting results.
About: Before becoming a dog trainer, I spent years in animal care, from exotic species to family pets, learning how animals communicate, handle stress, and respond to calm guidance. I’ve worked with nervous, overwhelmed, and high‑energy dogs, becoming the person people called when nothing else worked. Today in Atlanta, I use that real‑world experience to read subtle cues, support big emotions, and help families feel confident as they learn together.
About: I've been around dogs since I was born and had a hand in teaching them since I was young. I need them in my life as they have always been there with me showing how wonderful they are and how much joy they bring to peoples lives.

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!
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.
