Me & my husband had no idea where to start with our new puppy & Kim helped us tremendously. This is my first puppy & Kim was so detailed. Marzipan can sit & ring bells to go outside. We’re still working on down & drop it, but she keeps showing progress, and we couldn’t be happier with Kim’s help!

Working with Misty was a game changer for our family. She trained our Goldendoodle to be an emotional and diabetic service dog. Benji has been an amazing dog for showing us sign via his paw for blood sugar dropping low about 5-15 minutes before her monitor starts beeping. My daughter has an amazing bond with Benji after Benji being trained with Misty.

About: What sets me apart is my focus on real-life results and clear communication. I don’t just teach cues — I help dogs understand how to make better choices in everyday situations. I pay close attention to body language and stress signals, break skills into manageable steps, and build reliability around real-world distractions. My goal isn’t just obedience — it’s confidence, clarity, and a stronger relationship between you and your dog.

We couldn’t be happier with Yolanda’s training! In just a couple of sessions, we saw fast, positive changes in both of our German Shepherds. Her approach is clear, effective, and tailored to each dog’s needs, which made a huge difference right away. What really sets Yolanda apart is that she doesn’t just focus on behavior—she works on state of mind, helping both us and our dogs build a calm, balanced, and healthy dynamic. She gave my boyfriend and me practical tools that actually work, and we feel more confident handling our dogs every day. If you’re looking for real results and a happier, healthier lifestyle with your dogs, Yolanda is absolutely the one to call.

It’s a pleasure to write this testimonial for Laura! She has been helping us train our Aussie pup (a wonderful but highly energetic and somewhat reactive dog). Laura’s deep understanding of dog behavior has given us invaluable insights into our pup’s psychology, and she has tailored his training program to fit his unique needs. Thanks to her guidance, our home and outings have become much calmer and more predictable. Laura is patient and encouraging, and her positive approach makes the training process effective and enjoyable. I recommend her to anyone seeking the highest quality training!

I’ve had the pleasure of observing Kyla training dogs on many occasions, whether it be a working dog doing explosives detection training, protection work, narcotics detection or training her own personal pets for basic obedience and commands. Kyla is consistent, innovative and firm, all while demonstrating patience, playfulness and a great desire for each animal to succeed in training. She has a vast knowledge of animal behaviors and body language which has aided her in being such a successful handler and trainer.

We really appreciated Lori listening to our needs and creating an individualized training plan for both our family and our two dogs.

She crate trained our dog, as well as leash training as well as recall and off leash training. She also taught our dog all of her basic obedience. She also taught her a few bonus tricks.

About: My training approach goes beyond surface-level issues by focusing on the whole dog to address the root of behaviors. I consider body language, routine, environment, exercise, mental stimulation, nutrition, social history, and family dynamics, because real change happens when all factors are addressed. Since it’s tough to remember every detail from each session, I provide detailed notes with purchase links, training reminders, a homework list, and clear instructions developed over hundreds of hours.

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!

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 Denver.

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!

If you’re searching for a dog trainer in Denver for the first time, visit the trainer’s profile and select the Contact button.

If you have an active request or have booked a service with a trainer before, learn more about how to do this in the Rover app or on your computer.

Rover makes it easy to find Denver 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.

We get it—sometimes plans change and you may need to cancel your dog training service. You can cancel an upcoming booking directly from the Rover app or your computer, in accordance with your trainer’s cancellation policy.

Note: If your dog trainer requested to cancel this booking, then they need to cancel from their account. Please contact them via Rover Messages.
