We had a great experience working with Lindsay as our dog trainer. She is incredibly knowledgeable and clearly passionate about what she does. From the very beginning, she came prepared with a thoughtful plan tailored to our dog’s needs, focusing on leash training, reducing jumping, and teaching him to settle in his bed on command. What really stood out was how clearly she demonstrated her techniques and explained the reasoning behind them. She made sure we felt confident practicing the training ourselves, which made a huge difference in our progress. Lindsay was patient, professional, and encouraging throughout the process. Thanks to her guidance, we’ve already seen noticeable improvements in our dog’s behavior. We highly recommend Lindsay to anyone looking for an effective and compassionate dog trainer!

We’ve primarily worked with Lisa as a dogsitter and walker, but she has also undergone some training with our young male dog (under age 2) to positive effect. Our dog clearly enjoys being with/working with Lisa, and she has proven to be quite adept at training with him, including introducing being sensitive and deliberate when introducing him to new people. This training progress is great to see, as he’s not a newborn pup and he can be quite headstrong. He is responsive to Lisa and affectionate, as well — a good mix.

I highly recommend Andres! When we started, my dog Pinot struggled with leash pulling, barking at other dogs on walks, and being destructive at home when left alone. After training with Andres, the change has been incredible. Pinot now walks calmly on leash, greets dogs and people politely, and is much more relaxed overall. Our walks and visits to lakes and parks are finally enjoyable. Andres is patient, knowledgeable, and truly understands dogs.

I can’t recommend Ashley Sanford enough as a personal dog trainer. She had a natural connection with our dog Bella and a calm, patient approach that really made a difference in our dogs behavior. We saw a difference in Bella’s aggressive attitude in a short amount of time. If you’re looking for someone who is knowledgeable in dog’s behavior issues, dependable and truly dedicated to helping train your fur child to be a good pet, Ashley is an excellent choice.

"I cannot recommend Jill highly enough! She has been absolutely wonderful with my dog and has a natural gift for building a pup’s confidence. One of our biggest hurdles was staying calm around other dogs, and Jill’s techniques have made a world of difference. She also helped us tackle 'door dashing.' My dog used to charge the front door every time it opened, but now she waits quietly, sitting several feet away until she’s invited. If you’re looking for a trainer who is patient, knowledgeable, and gets real results, Jill is the best!"

Highly recommend XiaoXi Wang! She trained my Golden Retriever July, and the whole experience went so smoothly. XiaoXi is incredibly patient and really gets each dog's personality — no harsh methods, just positive encouragement that actually works. Thanks to her, July can now do Heel, Sit, Down, Go to Spot, and Leave It — the progress has been amazing! She also shared tips on how to keep practicing at home, which was super helpful. If you're looking for a dog trainer, just go with XiaoXi — you won't regret it!

We had a great experience working with Carlos over five sessions. He was always on time, well prepared, and made each lesson clear and enjoyable. He helped us feel comfortable while training but also wasn’t afraid to correct us when needed, which really improved our technique. Our dog Archie absolutely loved him and was always excited to see him each week. After every session, he provided a helpful summary and extra materials, and he was always available to answer questions. We couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend Carlos to anyone looking for a caring dog trainer.

About: With 15 years experience professionally working with people and their pups I can help you and your pup communicate and understand one another better. I left the corporate dog industry in 2020 so I can personally give people and pups attention. I am comfortable working with a variety of dogs and have a lot of experience with dogs with leash reactivity. I also taught many group classes in the past for a top dog facility in Orange County and was their Behavior & Training Director.

I have a one year seven month old retriever who is in training to become my service dog. I contacted Andrew to do my first ever CGC test. Upon meeting Andrew I was immediately comfortable and calm. I’m a sensitive person and his demeanor helped calm all of my nerves. I have had him test my dog and I for five AKC tests as of now. He is cordial, respectful, kind, knowledgeable and very sweet. You can NOT go wrong with hiring this guy for all of your doggy needs! He makes sure after every session that I was clear on what the next step was for my AKC testing. Your search ends here!

Working with Helen was one of the best decisions I made for my dog. She was patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about both me and my dog throughout the entire process. After training, my dog became calmer, more focused, and much more reliable in public settings. Helen also gave me the guidance and support I needed to maintain the results at home. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated and skilled dog trainer.

Skyler’s consultation was fantastic! My dog immediately bonded with her, and I felt like she was meeting an old friend. I shared what led me to book with her and my goals for Jewels. She explained how we can help him become more obedient at home through training, noting that he’s a quick learner, so he should pick things up quickly. She also suggested my good Kong and lick mat, along with more training opportunities, which I’m planning to explore.

Allie understands and cares about dogs and their humans. She’s patient, clear, and positive, and she gives practical, step-by-step homework that’s easy to follow between sessions. We adopted a reactive dog from a shelter, and Allie helped us pinpoint what was driving the reactivity and exactly what to do in the moment. Her approach is research-based (we’re working through BAT training), which gave us confidence. We’ve seen measurable progress after every session and felt supported throughout. We recommend Allie to anyone dealing with reactivity or wanting a trainer who delivers real results.

Saw some results right off the bat and will continue to work with her. If you are thinking twice, stop and at least do a consultation you won’t regret it! Thanks Ana!

Kurt listened to my concerns. He gave my 3 week from a shelter dog time to get comfortable. I feel like I was professionally guided with a gentle, calm approach. My dog even got to play with his dog a little. He evaluated him in a neutral territory. I now know more about BART. He likes horses is non reactive , not a big prey drive either. I feel his behavior is better than shoulder be expected. My nerves are calmer, and that’s saying a lot. Thank you Kurt, I have more hope now.

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 Long Beach.

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!

If you’re searching for a dog trainer in Long Beach for the first time, visit the trainer’s profile and select the Contact button.

If you have an active request or have booked a service with a trainer before, learn more about how to do this in the Rover app or on your computer.

Rover makes it easy to find Long Beach 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.

We get it—sometimes plans change and you may need to cancel your dog training service. You can cancel an upcoming booking directly from the Rover app or your computer, in accordance with your trainer’s cancellation policy.

Note: If your dog trainer requested to cancel this booking, then they need to cancel from their account. Please contact them via Rover Messages.
