“My first time meeting Nefeli was very comforting. She made me feeling confident and was very patient. Even after the session she checked in with me and gave me a summary of everything I mentioned. I Highly recommended booking with Nefeli for the betterment of yourself and your pet.”
About: My training focuses on obedience, communication, and building a strong bond between dogs and their owners. I believe effective training is about more than teaching commands—it’s about helping owners understand their dogs and creating consistency in everyday life. Patience, structure, and trust are the foundation for a happy, well-balanced dog.
“Holly is great. Very knowledgeable and reassuring. This is our first dog ever and she made it feel like I’ve done this before. Started her advice immediately and already see a difference with our 12 week old puppy. I highly recommend Holly.”
“Amazing Trainer! She is very knowledgeable in how dogs communicate and how we need to communicate with them. She understands every dog is different and adapts wonderfully. Highly Recommend!!”
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.
About: I employ deep attention to detail in your dog's behavior and routine along with noting what what you the owner are doing to create habits the dog is having. Good training starts with your dog but often ends with you
“Just had a consultation visit with Lori and already feel like a better puppy owner. She has a warm and confident energy that our puppy responded well to. Her guidance and advice about proper setup and foundational tips for success have already started yielding positive results. Looking forward to more training sessions!”
“Jasmine is a phenomenal dog trainer. She's worked with my goldendoodle from 6 months of age, and her friendly approach and training expertise helped my puppy grow in learning commands and confidence with overcoming attachment anxiety. Jasmine's training was also the catalyst for putting my dog in service training. Thanks to the foundations my dog learned in her class, she is now certified to fly with me as a service animal, and she helps with my chronic anxiety. We both owe so much to Jasmine!”
“Joyce and I have been volunteering together at an animal shelter for a while now. She is very dedicated to the animals and their wellbeing. She strives to make them feel more confident in their surroundings. She takes her time to explain all the steps we as parents must take to help our little ones be better and do better. She is patient, calm, understanding and knowledgeable. She lets them learn at their own pace and rewards with kind words and a tasty treat. I highly recommend Joyce for you and your pup(s).”
“Cassian has been working with my dog for the last six months, helping me solidify her basic obedience skills for service dog work. He provided structured lessons that focused on my dogs needs and was very willing to adapt each lesson based on what we struggled with. the critique and feedback he gave was always clear and concise and helped me learn not only how to train my dog, but why we use certain methods to help our dogs learn. I would recommend him to anyone looking for affordable training with a training that truly cares about you and your dog.”
“The training session with Tyray went great! My dog, Tuxedo, responded very well to his instructions which were clear and easy to follow. I’m looking forward to working with him again soon.”
“Margaret was incredibly thoughtful and genuinely lovely to work with. She brought fresh ideas every time we hit a roadblock and understood my dog in a way that felt both intuitive and practical. 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!”
About: I am passionate about dogs. Even before I became dog trainer I used to volunteer with ACC and ASPCA, and fostered dogs for number of NY based rescues. Not two dogs are alike, and I treat each and every dog as an individual
“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%.”
“I had a great experience with Roderick! Even on the first day, my dog already showed noticeable improvements. She’s not pulling as much on walks and is becoming more obedient. Roderick was patient, knowledgeable, and explained everything so I could keep up the training at home. Highly recommend!”
“Such a sweet and gentle soul! She was amazing with my joy and after just one lesson she left me with the knowledge to not only teach my dog a better temperament but the patience to do it! Even better that she’s local to me. 100/10 would book again!”
“As a professional dog sitter/walker, I highly recommend Liz. She’s extremely patient, trustworthy, and knowledgeable about dogs. She is a clear communicator, with a good sense of humor and I turn to her for advice often whenever I have a dog question.”
“Diana was such an important part of our first months with Lolo. He was our first dog in New York and, on top of that, a rescue from another country adjusting to a new and overwhelming life in the city, so we were all learning at the same time. She was incredibly patient with both Lolo and us, helping us understand his behavior and communicate with him much better. We saw a huge change in him while working with her. He became more settled, confident, and easier for us to understand and guide. We’re so grateful for everything Diana did for Lolo and for us, and would absolutely recommend her.”
“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.”
“We had a fantastic experience working with Madeline. She’s incredibly knowledgeable and has a real gift for explaining things in a way that’s simple, clear, and easy to put into practice. What really impressed us was how quickly our dogs responded to her training techniques—her advice wasn’t just theoretical, it worked. You can tell she truly understands canine behavior and cares deeply about the well-being of the dogs she works with. Highly recommend!”
“Karen is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about her craft. She definitely exceeded my expectations for our first session. She is a great teacher and was very patient with all the questions we had. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Working with Courtney was a game-changer for our family and our Great Pyrenees, Teddy. When Teddy developed severe resource guarding and stranger aggression, we were terrified for everyone's safety. Courtney used a patient, structured, and positive approach to address the root causes of his reactivity. Thanks to her step-by-step guidance, our home is peaceful again, visitors can enter safely, and Teddy is a much happier dog. If you are dealing with severe behavioral issues, Courtney is the absolute best!”
“Heather was so patient and informative in helping my 5 month old puppy Jordie overcome her fear of wearing the harness and of another dogs on the streets. She answered all the questions I had and I feel so much more informed of what to do to help Jordie feel safe with me on walks. Thank you Heather!”
“She was very nice and she knows how to train. Eli responded beautifully to her. She listened to the problems and addressed them. I'm inviting her over for another one.”
“Fantastic experience with Beth! She was exceptionally patient, listened to our needs, and gave us clear, actionable advice. She took the time to address all our concerns and made us feel very comfortable. We look forward to working with her more in the future for our dog’s training and eventually for a new cat!”
“Justyna is an exceptional dog trainer and behaviorist! She is incredibly knowledgeable about dog behavior and is patient, compassionate, loving, and thorough in her approach—not only with dogs, but with their paw parents as well. Justyna helped us train our Labradoodle with puppy crate training, leash training and pulling, as well as muzzle training. Thanks to her guidance, Winston has made tremendous progress and has successfully mastered the skills he learned with her. We love her and wholeheartedly recommend Justyna to anyone looking for an outstanding dog trainer and behaviorist!”
“Hannah has taken care of my dogs for years. I would recommend her to anyone who is seeking care or training for their furbabies of all kinds! She is also an incredible dog trainer as well as dog owner herself. She treats my furbabies like they are her own. I am grateful to have peace of mind knowing that all of my animals are cared for by Hannah when I traveling/in need of a walker/sitter.”
“Working with Aisha has been a great experience. She helped me build a strong foundation in basic obedience training and, more importantly, taught me how to properly give commands in a way that helps my dog become calm and focused, instead of just reacting or doing random behaviors. She explained everything clearly and helped me understand how my actions and timing affect my dog’s mindset. I’ve seen a big improvement in my dog’s ability to settle down and listen. I also feel much more confident handling different situations now. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for real, effective training.”
“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!
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.
