“Good meeting with a definite plan of action going forward. Value: Jana is knowledgeable with fast experience that comes through in her advice and training scheduling. We felt our time together was well spent and well worth the investment in Bella.”
“Lydia has been amazing with Nova over the years. Her insight and recommendations are always on point, whether it’s training, behavior, social interactions, or Nova’s health needs. She does so much more than any dog walker I’ve had before. I always get daily pictures and videos, updates on how Nova does with other dogs and people, and reminders for vet appointments, medication, and anything else Nova may need. She is reliable, attentive, and truly cares about Nova’s well-being. I highly recommend her”
About: As a special education teacher, I work daily with behavior, learning, and positive reinforcement. I bring those same evidence-based principles to dog training. My approach focuses on understanding why behaviors occur, teaching clear expectations, and rewarding desired behaviors through consistency and patience. I tailor training to each dog's needs while helping owners build skills that create lasting success.
“Shelby is dedicated and enthusiastic in her dog training. She builds trust with each individual dog and shows patience even when their progress is slow. She is very consistent with their training. Most important in her training methods is her show of love to the dogs.”
“Melissa is an exceptional dog behavior consultant who transformed the dynamic between our two dogs. Before finding her, we learned the hard way that not all dog trainers are the same. Melissa’s CBCC-KA certification reflects deep expertise, and her approach is thoughtful, research-based, and incredibly supportive. She taught us how to read our dogs’ body language, reduce stress, and make it easier for them to make good choices. Thanks to her guidance, we now have a peaceful home and tools we’ll use for the rest of our lives.”

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 Greenville 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 Greenville 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.
