Our dog is extremely hyperactive. Before working with Mei, things felt pretty chaotic and Phoebe didn’t feel like she had an off switch. Mei taught us a “settle” cue that’s made a big difference. When things start to ramp up, we have something we can actually use to bring things back down. What stood out most is that she taught us how to handle it ourselves. She explained what we were doing and why it worked. By the end, we felt comfortable using it on our own outside of sessions. It’s made everyday life a lot easier, and I’d recommend her to anyone with an impossibly high-energy dog.

About: I am a force free trainer who has over 5 years of dog handling experience. I tailor training plans to suit each case, monitor progress and adjust accordingly. I don't believe in forcing people into commiting to a set number of lessons, because each dogs learns at a different pace and each owner needs to balance the time committment of training to his or her unique lifestyle. I help you try to find that balance while paying as you go.

She always had a creative solution ready to go, and thanks to her approach, my dog made a ton of progress in such a short time. 10/10 recommend!

Heather is an incredible trainer and an even better human. She’s helped me make real progress with my dog, Charlie, who struggles with anxiety and reactivity. From the start, she’s been patient, kind, and flexible—always working around my schedule and meeting me where I am. She never makes me feel judged, only supported. Charlie has improved so much. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Arianna has been incredible with my dog, Prince! She’s been caring, reliable, attentive, and clearly passionate about what she does. I noticed improvements in his behavior immediately. She has a natural ability with dogs and knows exactly how to build trust while reinforcing good habits. Prince also loves spending time with her dog, Milan. Their friendship has been wonderful for his socialization and has helped him build confidence around other dogs in a positive, healthy way. She treats him like her own, and I can’t recommend her highly enough!

About: What sets me apart is my focus on communication, fulfillment, and real-life integration — not just obedience commands. I help owners understand why their dog behaves the way they do and how to create clearer communication through consistency, structure, enrichment, and engagement. Rather than relying heavily on correction, I focus on building thoughtful behavior, emotional regulation, and practical skills that fit naturally into everyday life and strengthen the relationship between dogs and their humans.

I recently had a zoom consultation with Shar.. needless to say she was AMAZING!!! I seeked her expertise in teaching me new strategies in helping my puppy settle into a routine. Lets just say I left with several notes! From something simple as where her wee wee pads are placed, to cognitive chew toys and simple commands Shar had answers to them all. You can tell right away she truly has a heart for animals. She stopped periodically to make sure I fully understood what she was saying, and if I didnt, she gave great examples that I was able to relate too. I am definitely looking forward to our next meeting in 2 weeks.

Elissavet is great! So far we had two sessions with her, the first was an introduction to my dog and his environment, we addressed the most important issues my puppy is going through, he’s 1 year and 9 months, maltipoo. She gave me valuable techniques I applied in my journey of training my pet. The second was even better, that same night my dog already was learning from the techniques she showed me, we addressed so many things in this second session, every minute was worth it! Besides Elissavet is very warmth, nice and she actually listens pay attention to your concerns. I’m putting a lot of time plus effort into training my dog, that’s helping also. I recommend her 100%.

Highly recommend Aisha! 🐾 Our dog, Vinnie, is a good boy but used to get extremely anxious around loud noises and broadcast, trying to run away immediately. We did 4 classes with Aisha, and she taught us how to use leash corrections and specific commands to help desensitize Vinnie and keep his focus on us. The results speak for themselves: Vinnie can now walk calmly right through a construction site! If you need a skilled, effective dog trainer, Aisha is the one to choose!

Madeline is great! Most importantly, my reactive dog loves her and they instantly built trust. That alone was such a win for us, but she's helped us work towards even more wins! Her training is customized to my dog's needs and she always comes in referencing science-backed training. She's helped me learn how to closely read my dog's body language and how to manage stressful situations so that my girl can succeed! She's always willing to go the extra step (bringing a stuffed dog or a friend over) to help with our training. Grem absolutely loves her!

Joshua has been amazing with my dog, Charlie. He uses positive reinforcement methods that have really helped Charlie make huge progress with his anxiety and reactivity. After each session, Joshua sends extremely thorough summaries with his observations and next steps, and he even does regular check-ins to see how things are going. It’s clear how much he truly cares. He’s also really flexible and easy to work with. I’m so grateful we found him!

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 Brooklyn.

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 Brooklyn 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 Brooklyn 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.
