“I was very sceptical when I initially hired Ashley as to how effective training could be in a virtual setting. We saw positive results after only spending ten minutes with Ashley during her initial consultation. She gave us very specific insights as how we can improve our puppy's potty training that were actually very simple modifications to what we were doing, which produced very positive results. Her fee is very reasonable and affordable and she gets right down to business the minute we login to our sessions. She also sends us a written recap with very clear instructions on what we worked on so that we can practice and instill the lessons as "homework". I highly recommend Ashley as a trainer who really delivers based on the immediate results we see. She is very knowledgeable and clearly an expert in her field. We will continue to work with Ashley so that we can cultivate a strong bond with our precious new family member!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Ian. He is extremely patient, knowledgeable and great at explaining the why behind the what of everything he teaches. He always checked in on us after each session and would provide a summary of notes for everything we discussed/our homework for the week. We saw great improvement with our reactive dog in just 6 sessions with Ian. We highly recommend!”
“Holly was very welcoming to my puppy and I. She immediately bonded with him which made training so much more seamless. Any questions I had, Holly was more than happy to help me out and left me with very helpful knowledge!”
“My first time meeting Nefeli was very comforting. She made me feeling confident and was very patient. Even after the session she checked in with me and gave me a summary of everything I mentioned. I Highly recommended booking with Nefeli for the betterment of yourself and your pet.”
About: My current enrollment in CATCH Canine Trainers Academy sets me apart from most trainers by providing me with an understanding of dog psychology which allows me to better understand how dogs learn. I work to provide training that considers the dogs needs in every aspect of their life and that creates a well rounded and fulfilled dog.
“The training session with Tyray went great! My dog, Tuxedo, responded very well to his instructions which were clear and easy to follow. I’m looking forward to working with him again soon.”
“Heather is a very nice and patient dog trainer, when Cinnamon struggled with group sessions, she went out of her way to do one on one sessions to make sure Cinnamon had the best care. She puts your pet first and makes sure they feel comfortable and safe. I recommend working with Heather for the best care of your pet.”
About: I am a force free trainer who has over 5 years of dog handling experience. I tailor training plans to suit each case, monitor progress and adjust accordingly. I don't believe in forcing people into commiting to a set number of lessons, because each dogs learns at a different pace and each owner needs to balance the time committment of training to his or her unique lifestyle. I help you try to find that balance while paying as you go.
“Elissavet is great! So far we had two sessions with her, the first was an introduction to my dog and his environment, we addressed the most important issues my puppy is going through, he’s 1 year and 9 months, maltipoo. She gave me valuable techniques I applied in my journey of training my pet. The second was even better, that same night my dog already was learning from the techniques she showed me, we addressed so many things in this second session, every minute was worth it! Besides Elissavet is very warmth, nice and she actually listens pay attention to your concerns. I’m putting a lot of time plus effort into training my dog, that’s helping also. I recommend her 100%.”
“Jasmine is a phenomenal dog trainer. She's worked with my goldendoodle from 6 months of age, and her friendly approach and training expertise helped my puppy grow in learning commands and confidence with overcoming attachment anxiety. Jasmine's training was also the catalyst for putting my dog in service training. Thanks to the foundations my dog learned in her class, she is now certified to fly with me as a service animal, and she helps with my chronic anxiety. We both owe so much to Jasmine!”
“Nora Kramer trained our wonderful 4-legged family member Laurie, a smart, loving and spirited Belgian Shepard/Labrador and I recommend her whole-heartedly. With patience and consistency she helped Laurie change some behavior patterns and learn new ones. Nora's approach was a perfect mix of discipline, caring and love, knowing when to be strict and when to go easy. She was very attuned to what Laurie was communicating and responded quickly. We appreciated that Nora explained the training process to us and pointed out things we could do to keep Laurie well-behaved and happy. Thank you Nora!”
“Margaret was incredibly thoughtful and genuinely lovely to work with. She brought fresh ideas every time we hit a roadblock and understood my dog in a way that felt both intuitive and practical. She always had a creative solution ready to go, and thanks to her approach, my dog made a ton of progress in such a short time. 10/10 recommend!”
About: I am passionate about dogs. Even before I became dog trainer I used to volunteer with ACC and ASPCA, and fostered dogs for number of NY based rescues. Not two dogs are alike, and I treat each and every dog as an individual
“As a professional dog sitter/walker, I highly recommend Liz. She’s extremely patient, trustworthy, and knowledgeable about dogs. She is a clear communicator, with a good sense of humor and I turn to her for advice often whenever I have a dog question.”
“Arianna has been incredible with my dog, Prince! She’s been caring, reliable, attentive, and clearly passionate about what she does. I noticed improvements in his behavior immediately. She has a natural ability with dogs and knows exactly how to build trust while reinforcing good habits. Prince also loves spending time with her dog, Milan. Their friendship has been wonderful for his socialization and has helped him build confidence around other dogs in a positive, healthy way. She treats him like her own, and I can’t recommend her highly enough!”
“I've seen Erika train dogs firsthand and the results speak for themselves — well-behaved, responsive dogs and confident, happy owners. What sets her apart is her calm demeanor and deep expertise across multiple training methods. She's helped me apply many of those same techniques with my own pets, and the difference has been remarkable. No one I know comes close to her level of skill and dedication. She's the real deal.”
“I had a great experience with Roderick! Even on the first day, my dog already showed noticeable improvements. She’s not pulling as much on walks and is becoming more obedient. Roderick was patient, knowledgeable, and explained everything so I could keep up the training at home. Highly recommend!”
“Fantastic experience with Beth! She was exceptionally patient, listened to our needs, and gave us clear, actionable advice. She took the time to address all our concerns and made us feel very comfortable. We look forward to working with her more in the future for our dog’s training and eventually for a new cat!”
“Karen is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about her craft. She definitely exceeded my expectations for our first session. She is a great teacher and was very patient with all the questions we had. Highly recommend!”
“Hannah has taken care of my dogs for years. I would recommend her to anyone who is seeking care or training for their furbabies of all kinds! She is also an incredible dog trainer as well as dog owner herself. She treats my furbabies like they are her own. I am grateful to have peace of mind knowing that all of my animals are cared for by Hannah when I traveling/in need of a walker/sitter.”
“Courtney trained our dog from 3 months old, and now at almost 6, the results have truly lasted a lifetime. She taught him foundational commands like sit, place, recall, wait, drop it, and leash walking—something puppies definitely don’t naturally know! Thanks to her patience and positive reinforcement methods, he’s calm, respectful, and beautifully behaved everywhere we go. As first-time owners, she also taught us how dogs learn, how to train effectively, and how to better understand behavior overall. I trust Courtney completely and cannot recommend her enough.”
“Highly recommend Aisha! 🐾 Our dog, Vinnie, is a good boy but used to get extremely anxious around loud noises and broadcast, trying to run away immediately. We did 4 classes with Aisha, and she taught us how to use leash corrections and specific commands to help desensitize Vinnie and keep his focus on us. The results speak for themselves: Vinnie can now walk calmly right through a construction site! If you need a skilled, effective dog trainer, Aisha is the one to choose!”

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 Jersey City.
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 Jersey City 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.
