Brooklyn is terrific! He was personable, kind and professional. He was great with my dog and we went over his behavioral problem and how it could be addressed. After he left I followed his recommendations. The problem was almost immediately solved! He was a lifesaver.

Cadence has worked with dogs for many many years. And she trained our blue healer when she was a puppy. She used positive reinforcement. She crate trained our dog, as well as leash training as well as recall and off leash training. She also taught our dog all of her basic obedience. She also taught her a few bonus tricks.

Trey is super awesome, friendly, and patient with both dogs and their pawrents! He helped get our cattle dog/lab mix Ace on track. Our puppy is pretty stubborn and Trey gave us some really helpful tips and made sure that we knew what we needed to do to get Ace in a good place. I highly recommend Trey!

Tess is very organized trainer . The first session demonstrated immediate results and was left with a pamphlet of explanations and exercise. Well done. Buffy will be much better because this training protocol is so well orchestrated

I’ve had the pleasure of observing Kyla training dogs on many occasions, whether it be a working dog doing explosives detection training, protection work, narcotics detection or training her own personal pets for basic obedience and commands. Kyla is consistent, innovative and firm, all while demonstrating patience, playfulness and a great desire for each animal to succeed in training. She has a vast knowledge of animal behaviors and body language which has aided her in being such a successful handler and trainer.

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 Boulder.

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 Boulder 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 Boulder 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.
