“Jen has been an excellent trainer! Very patient and sends detailed instructions and tips to ensure my dog follows all commands she is taught. Highly recommend!”
“cheyenne is not only incredibly knowledgeable about dogs but also very kind to both dogs and humans. Working with a trainer that has the ability to take her time to teach correctly is a huge win and we will 1000% be training with her from here on out. Superb experience.”
“Dominic is great! He is very passionate about his work and it shows! He listened to our concerns and Bronx really learned a lot during the first session! Look no further for a trainer - you will not go wrong with Dom!”
About: I have group experience and experience working with reactive dogs. I love working with families as I am a teacher and can help the whole family improve your pup’s behavior. As a KPA-CTP I am completely, 100% positive reinforcement.
“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!”
“Tommy has been a Godsend to me. I thought that maybe I was just too old to have a young dog, but he showed me how to work with Gunnar in the simplest way that has totally changed our lives. The difference in our walks is nothing short of amazing, but the impact is felt in the home too. He is always available for questions and support, and I love watching his videos for reminders, tips and tricks. I would and do recommend training with Tommy to everyone. My daughter-in-law took his classes and was equally thrilled. Most importantly, Gunnar loves and trust Tommy too!”
“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.”
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.
“Hannah is great! She taught Maddie and I a bunch of things in our first session and was very patient with both of us. I'll definitely be doing future sessions with her!”
“I was really disappointed with my experience. I paid $93 for a consultation that could have easily been done over the phone. During the session, the trainer didn’t even interact with my dog and basically just asked me questions from a pre-filled questionnaire. At the end, I was given two training plans that felt generic and AI-generated, rather than personalized to my dog. Overall, I felt like I didn’t get the value I expected and would not recommend this service.”
“Jaclyn saved my sanity when we got a new puppy who seemed too stubborn to learn! She was very friendly, patient, and professional. Our family is forever grateful to 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.”
About: My focus is on giving pet owners the ability to train their dogs from the comfort of their own home through virtual training. Although there are benefits to both in-person and at-home training, for certain dogs the training process goes a lot smoother when there aren't as many outside factors in the picture, as well as owners having the ability to get dog training without the stress of having to work around schedules and times to leave the house. I want to bring the same beneficial training to you right from your home!
“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!”
“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.”

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 Baltimore.
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 Baltimore 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.
