“Had our initial training session with Maudlin and Chewie learned so much already. Maudlin was very knowledgeable, patient, and made the entire experience enjoyable for both of us. You can tell she truly cares and knows what she’s doing. Definitely recommend Maudlin to anyone looking for a great trainer. Chewie and I are already looking forward to the next session!”

“I've known Ashley for a few years and first and foremost, she is an amazing dog owner. She has worked hard to get where she is today with her training. She recognizes that dogs are not only treasured family members, but also sentient beings. Her training reflects this. Your pup will be in the best of hands with her”

“I met virtually with Lindsay to get some initial guidance as I think through the timeline, process, and overall plan for puppy training. She was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and very detailed in how she walked through what to expect and how to prepare. I left the conversation feeling much more confident and informed. I’m looking forward to reconnecting with her when my puppy reaches training age.”

About: I was accredited by a big box store and was formerly an approved CGC evaluator. I have experience training service dogs, dogs with disabilities, and training in ASL. I've been training independently since leaving the big box store and recently completed the GoodPup Certification. My specialty is in +R training, helping pets and their parents have fun and solidify behaviors for reduced stress and lifelong companionship! If you struggle with training your dog, it could be that you're not "hearing" their needs. Let me help bridge the connection gap and get you and your pup on the same page!

About: With over 18 years of experience, I’ve had the privilege of working with dogs of all backgrounds—from playful puppies to the most challenging cases of abuse and neglect. My training style is rooted in compassion and the Fear Free approach, designed to alleviate fear, anxiety, and stress. By focusing on trust and positive reinforcement, I not only help dogs learn but also strengthen the bond between owner and pup. This compassionate, individualized method sets me apart and ensures lasting results for both ends of the leash.

“Anthony was great! I needed training for my dog to correct territorial behavior toward people in the home, and there was a noticeable improvement after just one visit. He came prepared with multiple techniques, explained the reasoning behind them, and made sure I understood how to apply the corrections consistently on my own. He was patient, knowledgeable, and took the time to answer all of my questions. I left feeling confident and equipped to continue the training, and I’m already seeing positive changes.”

“I was truly worried my anxious pup wouldn't be able to be helped. He used to go potty inside just to avoid the outdoors because he was so fearful! We have been taking it very slow and steady, and under Liana's guidance, my little guy is now wagging his tail and excited to head outside! It's honestly a crazy shift that I didn't think would be possible, but building his confidence has made a huge difference for us :) Am so so SO happy I have gotten to work with Liana :)”

FAQs for Dog Training - Clermont

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for dog training in Clermont on Rover is $83 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 Clermont 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 Clermont 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.
