About: My flexibility working full time as an animal care provider allows you the opportunity to have a consistent trainer who also may be booked for services such as daycare, boarding, and drop ins.
About: What sets me apart is my focus on real-life results, not just obedience in a training session. I build clear communication between you and your dog so the behavior holds up at home, in public, and in everyday situations. Every program is personalized and designed to create lasting change. Sessions usually last 1 hour.
About: What sets me apart is that I don’t just teach dogs what to do—I help owners understand why their dogs behave the way they do. My training is rooted in canine psychology, communication, and relationship-building rather than simply correcting unwanted behaviors. Instead of relying on quick fixes or teaching dogs to obey commands without understanding, I focus on addressing the root cause of behavior and creating lasting change through trust, calm leadership, and clear communication.
“I took our first dog Lilo to a puppy academy class I believe it was called that was at my local petco. Jess was our trainer, yes OUR trainer. She thought me that it was just as much my behaviors if not more then my dogs that dictated my dog's obedience and behaviors. And through taking that class with my first dog I was able to do a decent job at training the next three. For a total of a 4 dog household. In over my head a little, if I could afford it I would fly her out to train the rest in a heartbeat.”
“Savannah is amazing! Her patience and knowledge is exactly what we were looking for in a trainer for our Aussie. We look forward to continuing to work with her.”

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 Jacksonville.
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 Jacksonville 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.
