“Tisha was awesome and do informative!! I greatly appreciated her taking the time to meet with me and my pups and give tailored advice on how I should approach my dogs and what needs to be done to train them to be obedient. She’s even going to send me a tailored email with instructions for what I need to do going forward and if I need her help again she will be available to help! Thank you so much!!”

“Cameron came to my house for a consultation and he was very professional, polite, explained everything calmly, answered all my questions about his approach with training and explained how we can be flexible and adjust it as time goes by. I’m confident my dogs will learn a lot with him and very appreciative for the first session.”

“Adrienne watched my dogs for over a week for me. It was the first time I ever had her dog sit for me and she did a great job with communication and checking in, not to mention she sent me videos afterwards of her playing with, interacting and training. I think a good dog trainer not only trains and does exercises with the dogs, but also has a love and passion for animals which I felt having boarded my dogs with her. I encourage her to keep going towards her goal to be a dog trainer, and I think that she will make a great trainer once she becomes one!”

“Katy has been an incredible trainer for our dog, Luna. As a high-energy dog, Luna benefited greatly from Katy’s expertise, patience, and guidance. Katy not only helped train Luna but also taught us how to build trust and strengthen our relationship with her. She is fun, personable, and truly gifted with dogs. Luna absolutely loves her, and so do we! We’re incredibly grateful for everything Katy has taught us and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an outstanding dog trainer.”

“Shelly took the time to ask me questions and get to know my dog’s behaviors before providing a training plan that would target his needs. (Primarily, separation anxiety, recall, and leash manners). I’m really glad I decided to book with her! I could not have made the same progress on his training without her help. She is very experienced and knowledgeable, and eager to help!”

FAQs for Dog Training - Bountiful

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for dog training in Bountiful on Rover is $67 per session (as of November 2026). All trainers on Rover set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

The price you see before you confirm the booking is the final price you pay for the services. For more information on service fees, click here.

Trainers may recommend the first session to be in your home. Afterwards, where you and your trainer meet may change depending on your training goals.

For example, with obedience training, your trainer may start at home and then move to a park or a store. Sometimes, for specific training needs such as loose leash walking, quiet, low-traffic neighborhood routes around Bountiful can be a starting point. Ultimately, training can happen in many places, which is great for folks who want to raise a confident, social dog.

Each training session is unique and trainers can work with you and your dog's needs. As you evaluate which trainer is the best fit, you can read the "Sessions" section on their profile to get a sense of what the first class may be like.

Most trainers list where the sessions take place, the format or focus of each session, what techniques they'll use, and what materials they'll provide so that you and your dog can continue training between sessions.

If you have any additional questions about what to expect during your first session, ask the trainer during your consultation!

Reward-based training is the style of training that uses proactive management and positive outcomes, rewards, or reinforcements, such as treats, praise, or toys, to encourage dogs to choose desired behaviors. The purpose of this training method is to promote thinking, strengthen behaviors, and improve the relationship between you and your dog.

According to the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior, research shows that reward-based training with an emphasis in positive-reinforcement builds stronger human-animal bonds, reduces anxiety in dogs, and produces more reliable, lasting behavior. Rover is committed to this approach.

The type of credential you want to look for depends on the reason you're looking for a trainer. The most popular credentials on Rover include KPA-CTP, CPDT-KA, CCPDT, Fear-Free™, and Good Pup certification, however there are many qualifying credentials from reputable organizations and institutions that we accept.

You can find each trainer's credentials on their profile under the "More info" section. All trainers must submit their credentials and qualifying educational experience before being listed on Rover.

Every trainer on Rover goes through a multi-step approval process before they can accept bookings:

  • Pass a third-party background check
  • Show proof of education, credentials, or certification in dog training
  • Commit to reward-based training methods

Rover does not support trainers who use aversive tools or punishment-based techniques.

Yes. Many trainers on Rover in the Bountiful area have experience with reactive dogs—including dogs who bark, lunge, or pull on leash—as well as dogs dealing with separation anxiety, fearful behavior, and reactivity in general.

Dense, high-stimulation environments can be especially challenging for reactive dogs, and working with a trainer who understands specific triggers can make a significant difference. You can filter for leash manners, reactivity, or anxiety to find trainers who specialize in addressing these behaviors.

Vaccination requirements are set by individual trainers, not by Rover. Many trainers may ask if your dog is up-to-date on core vaccines such as rabies, distemper, and bordetella.

For in-home or private outdoor sessions, requirements may be more flexible, especially for very young puppies still completing their vaccine series. Always confirm health requirements with your trainer before your first session.

We get it—sometimes plans change and you may need to cancel your dog training service. Each trainer sets their own cancellation policy and many offer a full refund if you cancel within their cancellation policy. You can find each trainer’s individual policy on their profile under their calendar availability.

Note: If your dog trainer requested to cancel this booking, then they need to cancel from their account. Please contact them via Rover Messages.
