“Lindsey has been wonderful to work with! She is knowledgeable, patient, and explains everything in a way that's easy to understand. We've already seen great progress with our German Shepherd, and her training methods have really helped us build his confidence and responsiveness. We highly recommend Lindsey to anyone looking for a professional and supportive dog trainer!”
“Crystal bonded with our Bichon Pepper at the first session. Pepper is a 9-month old puppy. She demonstrates what she wants him to do--and lets my husband and me practice. She provides lots of feedback. Her training is not only puppy training--it is also people training. She comes to our home for the sessions. I highly recommend Crystal!”
“I was really disappointed with my experience. I paid $93 for a consultation that could have easily been done over the phone. During the session, the trainer didn’t even interact with my dog and basically just asked me questions from a pre-filled questionnaire. At the end, I was given two training plans that felt generic and AI-generated, rather than personalized to my dog. Overall, I felt like I didn’t get the value I expected and would not recommend this service.”
“Kate is PHENOMENAL. She was always on time and her communication is impeccable. She has the knowledge and ability to work with any breed and disposition. My puppy was extremely stubborn and would not listen. Now my dog has great recall, fully potty trained, obedient, walks tremendous on a leash, and can also do a dozen or so tricks. She also gave us the knowledge to continue the lessons taught after she finished her session with our dog. I have recommended her to several friends, colleagues, and customers who also rave about how much better their dog is after a few sessions with Kate.”
“Leah F is our go to person for anything dog. In all seriousness, she is more than helpful with any unwanted behaviors in an out of the house. She cares so much about any dog she's with that she notices if something seems off. What I mean is she is a kind and gentle dog trainer with the knowledge and experience to know if a dog may need medical attention.”
“Our dog trainer exceeded every expectation! Patient, knowledgeable, and effective, they transformed our dog’s behavior and confidence. We saw amazing results and highly recommend them.”
About: My focus is on giving pet owners the ability to train their dogs from the comfort of their own home through virtual training. Although there are benefits to both in-person and at-home training, for certain dogs the training process goes a lot smoother when there aren't as many outside factors in the picture, as well as owners having the ability to get dog training without the stress of having to work around schedules and times to leave the house. I want to bring the same beneficial training to you right from your home!
“I was very impressed with Lindsay’s professional dog training knowledge and her ability to bond with Rusty. She gave me some helpful advice and I am looking forward to her training session.”
“Rachel was fantastic. I was very concerned about a dog I rehomed having separation anxiety. She put my mind at ease. With many training tips and tricks she thought we could take care of it. I tried her suggestions today and it's amazing, they totally worked! I'll definitely book her again!”

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 New Castle.
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 New Castle 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.
