“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!”
“Cecilia is a wonderful and patient trainer. She trained our chow chows, and our Pembrooke Welsh Corgie. We found her very skilled, calm, and effective, I was impressed by her ability especially with a stubborn breed like a chow chows. We would recommend her.”
“It was obvious from the beginning that Crystal’s passion is dogs. Our 2 small dogs had some difficult habits when they came to us. She was able to redirect their behaviors into positive ones. She is very patient. Crystal started building trust with both dogs from the beginning. She built trust with us too, improved our confidence which enhanced our bond with our dogs, and reduced the anxiety we had with them in social situations. She was always very punctual, which we greatly appreciated. She still checks in with us to see how the girls are doing. I highly recommend Crystal.”
About: I have personally witnessed the fulfillment training has brought to my personal dog. I am able to bring him everywhere and because of training he lives a very fulfilled life. I want to help other owners achieve this with their dogs.
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Nichole was fantastic with my little man! A friend referred me to her and told me to give virtual training a try and now I won’t go back to in person. She was extremely knowledgeable and we immediately felt comfortable working with her. Definitely recommend if you need a trainer and you don’t even have to leave the house!”
“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.”

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.
