About: I use positive reinforcement, rewarding good behaviors with treats, praise, and toys. I also use redirection and lure training. I've been mentored by top trainers, including a highly skilled trainer from with extensive experience from the Seeing Eye Dog program. I tailor my approach to each dog's personality!
“Hi! I have a crazy wired hair pointer that seemed impossible to train. Jilianne was our saving grace! We felt we had a very long road to get where we wanted to be with training our dog, but apparently he was already very smart (haha) just lots of energy. She gave us very helpful baby steps to do just 5 minutes a day! We’ve made so much progress with him it’s a miracle! Jilianne has so much knowledge with the dog mind and helps us understand their mindsets better so we can communicate better with them! 10/10 recommend!!”
“Katelyn is amazing! She was patient with Bella and from the moment she enter our home and greeted Bella, I knew, she was the right puppy trainer for Bella. Katelyn is knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. She made me feel comfortable and shared great information and gave me further instructions, to continue with working with Bella, until our next visit. She quickly followed up with additional resources and suggestions, via email. Bella is a very important member of our family and I won't trust her training to anyone else but Katelyn. I highly recommend her . Trust me, you will thank me later! Looking forward to our next training session in April!???”
“Tiffany is an amazing dog trainer and a someone who has devoted most of her adult life taking of dogs. My little rescue maltipoo is now a secure, obedient dog who now has furry friends, thanks to Tiffani. Tiffani is smart, knowledgeable, and responsible! I trust her 100 %.”

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 Charleston.
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 Charleston 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.
