“Debbie came for a training consultation and was so generous with her knowledge and gentle with my puppy. He warmed up to her and brought his toys to play with her as his comfort level increased. Debbie followed up after our time together with tools to help us get started on our training goals. It was a pleasure to meet Debbie!”
“Just from the consultation alone we have seen a small improvement. My dog was engaging and doing things that she usually struggles with, it was surprising seeing how much she can improve in just an hour. Our dog is a rescue and struggles on many areas, Dresden has been positive and utilizes good strategies and positive reinforcement to ensure that my dog feels comfortable but learns at the same time. I will be rebooking and am looking forward to the progress that will be made!”
“This was Leo’s first training session and he responded very well to Noah. My husband and I learned some good leash techniques to use while walking Leo as we are having trouble with him pulling and running ahead of us. Hopefully, with practice, Leo will learn his two key words and leash walking will be a breeze!”
“Charles was extremely helpful!! I have been having some issues potty training my puppy and he gave me some helpful insights and valuable techniques. It was evident that he has a great deal of knowledge with regard to training animals. He was extremely patient with my puppy and I knew she was in good hands. I would highly recommend Charles!!”
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.
“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.”

“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!”

“Thank you Declan, for the information, tips how to work with Bruno, suggestions on equipment , I learned a few things from our walk around my neighborhood, I appreciate your knowledge on dog training. See you next time .”
“Sidney is the best dog trainer. In a world where so many folks are focused on negative punishment that makes you question the comfort of the dog, Sidney is able to effectively get results without using fear or any other negative punishment. She also is always available to answer questions as they pop up, and always makes sure we understand her directions. I highly recommend her for any type of pet training or care!”
“Robyn was very knowledgeable, answered a bunch of questions and guided us on this confusing behavior. It completely changed the way we handle guests.

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.
