“Cadence has worked with dogs for many many years. And she trained our blue healer when she was a puppy. She used positive reinforcement. 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: I have a formal education, years of experience, and love working with difficult cases. I specialize in high-drive, high-energy dogs who struggle to contain their excitement, but I love working with all dogs.
“Rena’s been great working with my reactive cattle dog and teaching me how to train her better. It’s been great to see the improvements a walks are easier just a few weeks in.”
“Brooklyn has been an incredible source of advice and help in training our 2 year old Boston Terrier. He’s a great listener, understanding the challenges and providing simple, repeatable methods for achievable training and change. We appreciate his expertise and look forward to more sessions”
“Sarah has trained several dogs with me, and the results have been remarkable. Each has learned life skills (for us: off-leash recall, managing reactivity, and cats are friends not scary) through short, fun games that my dogs loved to play. The positive reinforcement and fun of the games created a deep, loving, and trusting bond between me and my dog, plus tools I use daily to keep that bond strong. She met us where we were at and supported me with a tailored plan, reference handouts, and clear explanations of the skills each game taught and how it supported my goals.”

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 Fort Collins.
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 Fort Collins 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.
