“Always 5 stars for Tess! As my husband (very jokingly) says, “It makes me so mad Jack does anything she says!”. He also immediately loves to practice anything new Jack has learned, so she’s most certainly training all of us. We love Tess!”
“Rosa was a lifeline for me when I was struggling with my (at the time) 6-month-old German Shepherd puppy. Over the course of seven private sessions, Rosa gave me and Biscuit concrete exercises to work on that helped me manage what had felt overwhelming and at times even impossible. But more importantly, Rosa's commitment to positive reinforcement training helped me see my dog with new eyes. I learned to appreciate that Biscuit's reactions were valuable cues, not nuisances, and that improved our relationship so much. I would not hesitate to recommend Rosa to anyone, from first-time guardians to seasoned handlers, looking to explore positive ways of training your dog!”
About: I truly love dogs and working with them. I have trained three service dogs and have lived with dogs for most of my life. Through that experience, I’ve learned how much a well-balanced dog can positively impact a home. A properly trained and emotionally stable dog isn’t just a companion — they become a meaningful and enriching addition to your life.
About: As a full-time professional trainer with 11 years in the pet care field, I bring both technical skill and real-world experience. I also have a background in pet herbalism and nutrition, allowing me to consider behavior, stress, and overall wellness together. My focus is on safe handling, clear guidance for owners, and results that last beyond the training sessions.
“Rebecca has trained our two dogs: a doodle and a poodle who were puppies during the pandemic lockdown and not properly socialized. They are now calm and well behaved and we couldn’t be more pleased. Rebecca really understands animals and is very effective as well as punctual, professional, and wonderful with both animals and their owners.”
About: I have experience training many animals including dogs, horses, cats, and goats. I love teaching people and their dogs how to have fun through training, sport, detection, and enrichment! If you are ready to enjoy your dog for who they are instead of constantly feeling like you have to fight them, I'm the trainer for you! I currently handle a conservation detection dog, and together we have experience detecting wildlife disease, bird/bat fatalities, and wolf scat. I have trained dogs in nosework/scentwork, parkour, agility, and treibball foundations, in addition to basic obedience behaviors.
“Diana was incredibly kind and efficient. Since we only had an hour, she got straight into training and provided invaluable tips that worked wonders with my puppy almost instantly. Within just one day, her advice has already made our house noticeably calmer. Her expertise and approach to addressing my puppy's behavior are truly impressive!”
About: I run a doggy daycare. I also work with other people's daycares. So I constantly am around different dogs. Different scenarios in keeping up with training ideas.

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 Colorado Springs.
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 Colorado Springs 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.
