About: A well trained individual means a stable, confident and more pleasant individual to be around. This is why I train. To equip both pet and parent with the knowledge and skill it takes to become their better selves, for each other, themselves and those around.
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, 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.
“Julian was fantastic! My dog had been struggling with leash manners and would get overly excited on walks, grabbing the leash and jumping up to play. Julian solved in 15 minutes what I had been struggling with for weeks. He showed me a simple clear techniques that works immediately. Walking my dog is already so much easier and more enjoyable!! Julian is incredibly knowledgeable and great at explaining what to do so you can keep reinforcing the training at home. I can’t recommend him enough and only wish I had found him sooner!”
“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.”
“Robin B is truly a find! Grateful to have her as my Bosco’s trainer. Teaching us how our dogs watch everything we do and taught me how to communicate with Bsoco even with body positioning. Her approach is friendly yet firm and has a very Zen command with positive reinforcement. She set a spectacular environment to train, teach, learn and spend time with our dogs. Robin will be a great asset to the Rover family!”

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.
