“The training with Noah went very well and opened our eyes to how much work is needed to help our little guy get socialized with other dogs. We made great progress working with our daughter’s dog.”
About: I have a lot of experience working with people. I love explaining concepts to new pet owners and helping with more complicated issues as well. My favorite skills to work on are getting dogs comfortable with grooming and veterinary care. If going to either of those places or even just nail trims are a struggle, I am here to help.
“I can’t recommend my dog trainer enough. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and truly cares about both the dog and the owner. He took the time to understand my dog and gave me the tools and confidence to handle situations that once felt overwhelming. The progress has been amazing, and the bond with my dog is stronger than ever. If you want real results and someone you can trust, he’s the one.”
“Shalynn has helped me train a St. Bernard and a mastiff to become certified Canine Good Citizens. Each class I’ve been in has had instruction directed specifically towards me and my dog. She observes each dog and owner and their interactions and makes specific suggestions for the owner. She’s very clear that it’s a training partnership between the dog and owner. Shalynn uses only positive correction and comes up with creative solutions for individual issues. I highly recommend Shalynn as a trainer.”
About: I chose to earn my dog training certification through GoodPup because it is a reward-based program grounded in the latest research. I believe a calm, clear, consistent and compassionate approach is the most effective way to teach dogs how to behave. Trust not fear is the foundation of any successful relationship with your pet. I’m here to support you with individualized techniques tailored to your goals, while helping you build confidence in how you approach training your dog. With your commitment, we will yield greater peace. I look forward to being your guide and trusted resource.
“Interesting point of view on training. I am trying to put his suggestions into practice to see if it helps Jasmine is pretty well trained except when she gets over excited.”
“Emily is a great dog trainer and we had a positive experience with her and lolli loved her. We worked on polite greetings in the home. With help from Emily she was able to stay calm in greeting situations, especially inside the house. We worked with Emily during one on one sessions as well as following through with provided homework to encourage appropriate behavior. Emily also helped us better manager her excited greetings by coming up with an exercise routine as well as enrichment. Lolli and I loved getting to work with Emily and it is fun seeing your dog succeed in training!”
About: Most of my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, or emotionally drained by their dog’s behavior. I don’t just teach commands. I teach owners how to understand their dog and respond strategically.

“Stephanie is an exceptional trainer who brought a wealth of knowledge and experience to our session. She is incredibly supportive and understanding, especially when it comes to our concerns about our 10-month-old dog. Her straightforward approach and easy to implement methods make her an excellent resource for both our puppy and us. Stephanie teaches us and our dog by example, providing clear and actionable instructions. We are confident that working with her will help us support our puppy and family, resulting in a well-adjusted dog that becomes the best family member we could ever ask for.”
About: I enjoy making training fun for both the human and their pets by turning some of the lessons into games while keeping the rate of reinforcement high. I offer virtual lessons as well as private in-home lessons. Each class has a general guideline, but each lesson is customized to meet yours and your pet's learning goals and needs.
“Sidney was incredible with our cat, Benji. She met with us beforehand and was thoughtful, attentive, and genuinely caring. While we were away, she sent daily check-ins with photos that gave us total peace of mind. Benji needs medication, and Sidney handled it with great care and attention to detail. She was punctual, reliable, and communicative throughout. (We never had to worry for a moment). Sidney is someone we trust completely and would recommend without hesitation. Her professionalism and kindness made the difference for us.”
“Robyn was very knowledgeable, answered a bunch of questions and guided us on this confusing behavior. It completely changed the way we handle guests. We’ve noticed our dog slowly building confidence and settling quicker and quicker each time someone comes over. Highly recommended Robyn for simple and complicated issues you are having with your dog.”

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 Lake Zurich.
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 Lake Zurich 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.
