We’ve worked with Misty since summer, and she’s been amazing with my three cockapoos (one adult and two sibling pups). She helped us with leash training, barking, and manners — but more importantly, she trained me to be a more confident dog mom. The progress has been incredible, and one pup now qualifies for service work. Highly recommend! 🐾

About: I have a genuine curiosity about dog behavior and love learning what motivates each dog so I can tailor training to their unique personality. I also work in industrial design and user experience, where observation, problem-solving, and understanding behavior are at the core of my work. I bring that same mindset to training. I've been caring for dogs for more than three years and have two dogs of my own. My goal is to help you better understand your dog, strengthen your relationship, and make life together easier.

Kristof did a great job during our training session today. He gave us a lot of information that is very helpful with us thinking more like a pup, and even some printed notes for us to review. He was also very patient with my wife’s and daughter’s questions. We will keep using his expertise to make us better dog parents :)

I had the pleasure of working with Laura when I was in a shelter environment. Laura worked with some of our more aggressive and socially challenged dogs, showing an incredible love for them and a passion for their well-being that is truly unparalleled.She also played a vital role in training new volunteers.One of the most memorable moments was seeing a scared, untouchable dog, who had come to the shelter in a fearful state, transform into a goofy, loving companion. I highly recommend Laura for any dog training services. She has the rare combination of empathy, expertise, and dedication.

Kyla is consistent, innovative and firm, all while demonstrating patience, playfulness and a great desire for each animal to succeed in training.

Lori was a true blessing helping us with several behavioral issues we had with our two adopted dogs.

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

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!

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: 2 hour initial session, follow-up 90-minute sessions. 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.

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.
