“Sydney and I learned l lot yesterday from Tiffany. We reviewed what we had learned from the last lesson and went on with much needed further instruction with a walk outside. Sydney is a fast learner and loves Tiffany and learning new commands. And just as important, I am learning to be more confident fur baby mom!!!!”
“Colleen was absolutely amazing! She was not intimated by my dog at all. She made both my dog and I feel extremely comfortable and we learned so much from just one session. We can’t wait to move forward with more.”
“Teresa was absolutely amazing. I have never owned a puppy on my own before and had no clue where to even start and she immediately gave me a foundation to start working on for my puppy. She is so understanding of my schedule and the demands of my job and she was so nice in helping me understand how to get started and showing me what I can do better! Also, my pup loved her to bits! I am absolutely booking more training sessions with her and I’m excited to work with her further!”
“We had an incredible experience with Fawn—honestly, it felt like a miracle worker walked through our door! We have five small dogs, including our 6-month-old puppy, Pixie, and after just one visit, we saw an immediate difference. Even before the appointment, Fawn was responsive and thoughtful, helping us evaluate what Pixie needed. During the visit, she didn’t just train the dogs—she taught *us* how to work with them, which made all the difference. Our dogs responded right away, and she left us with clear, manageable “homework” to keep building on that progress until our next session. What really stands out is her holistic approach. She took the time to understand our entire pack dynamic as well as Pixie’s unique personality. Her methods are rooted in kindness, a dog's desire to please. She worked with each dog’s mental aptitude, which we deeply appreciate. It’s so refreshing compared to fear-based techniques—and best of all, it truly works. We originally hired Faw just for Pixie, but now we’re excited to continue working with her for all of our dogs. This has been a total game changer, and surprisingly simple to follow. We can’t recommend her highly enough!”
“Niko was awesome! Super knowledgeable, has the patience to teach not only the dog but myself as the owner. Always made sure we were comfortable with what we just learned before moving on to the next thing. Would highly recommend!”
“I highly recommend Carly as a dog trainer. Having worked with her for some time now, I can confidently say she is a compassionate, patient, and responsible individual who truly loves working with dogs. She is committed to ensuring each dog receives the care and attention they need, tailoring her training methods to suit each dog’s personality and learning style. Carly is extremely reliable and organized. She consistently shows up on time, and keeps detailed records of progress. If you're looking for a caring and skilled dog trainer, Carly is the perfect fit.”
“Working with Georgeann has been an absolute blessing for me and my pup. From the very first session she brought so much patience, knowledge, and genuine care into every interaction. She has an incredible ability to understand dogs and teach in a way that feels supportive, encouraging, and fun. Thanks to her guidance, I’ve watched my pup grow in confidence, manners, and overall behavior. I couldn’t recommend Georgeann more highly to anyone looking for a trainer who is truly dedicated, skilled, and has a heart of gold.”
“Jaquan F. is an amazing dog trainer. He has expertise in this field, he is patient with the dogs, he is a dog lover, he is very knowledgable and caring. I definitely recommend him for all of your dog training needs.”
“We adopted Coco, a loving dog who struggled with severe leash reactivity and separation anxiety. Walks were chaotic, and leaving her alone felt impossible. We were unsure how to help her until we found Phoenix and Rita. From the very first session, they showed so much patience and care, tailoring each exercise to Coco’s unique needs. With their guidance, Coco became calmer on walks and more at ease when we weren’t home. Phoenix and Rita truly changed our lives, and we’re incredibly thankful for the progress Coco has made thanks to their compassionate approach.”
“Lilli is one of the best dog trainers I have ever hired. She has an incredible understanding of canine behavior and creates training plans tailored to each dog’s needs. Her calm, patient approach made both me and my dog feel comfortable, and I saw noticeable improvements in a short time. She explains techniques clearly, making it easy to continue training on my own. Beyond her skill, Lilli truly cares and goes above and beyond to ensure lasting results. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate, and effective dog trainer.”

“The session was an hour long. Focused on the behaviors we wanted to work on with our dog. Bobby communicates well with owner and dog while working, explaining techniques.

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 Charlotte.
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 Charlotte 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.
