“There was a bit of a mix-up on the time for the consultation call but once we talked to Brooklyn we are excited to be working with him in the future. He was able to answer a lot of our initial questions.”
“Haylee was amazing with our highly anxious and reactive Pit/cattle dog mix. Ponyo immediately trusted Haylee. She was able to loose leash walking and commands on the street from the first visit- a place where she is usually pulling and extremely anxious. Haylee’s fear free method was perfect for Ponyo. After working with Haylee, Ponyo is happier, less anxious, and looks to me for guidance rather than taking the lead. Haylee gave us the tools to help Ponyo see us as capable leaders. She truly understands dog behavior!”
“We couldn’t be happier with Yolanda’s training! In just a couple of sessions, we saw fast, positive changes in both of our German Shepherds. Her approach is clear, effective, and tailored to each dog’s needs, which made a huge difference right away. What really sets Yolanda apart is that she doesn’t just focus on behavior—she works on state of mind, helping both us and our dogs build a calm, balanced, and healthy dynamic. She gave my boyfriend and me practical tools that actually work, and we feel more confident handling our dogs every day. If you’re looking for real results and a happier, healthier lifestyle with your dogs, Yolanda is absolutely the one to call.”
“Devin trained and boarded my puppy for a month. I was so pleased with the results. My dog learned how to obey basic commands and he was able to get him on a regular schedule. I highly recommend Devin for your training and boarding needs.”
“To be honest, this went a lot better than we expected because we really thought our puppy was too hardheaded to learn. Can’t wait to see improvements on more sessions!”
“Haley was great with Livia and assisted with behaviors such as barking, jumping, and biting. She was communicative with us and we would 100% work with her again if needed!”
“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.”
“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”
“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!”

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!
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.
