“Christina was quite good offering simple techniques that made training our puppy Lab easier. We'll continue to see more over the next few weeks after we have another training session.”
About: Most trainers seek only obedience. I seek to understand the dog and the deeper issues that bother them. Some dogs are trying to learn how to be calm and domestic and certain cues help that after their daily needs of nutrition, mental, and physical stimulation have been filled.
“Our training session with Wenday was great! We have a young puppy and wanted to get off to a good start with his training. Wendy showed us how to properly start our crate and potty training. All of her training is positive. Highly recommend!”
“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.”

“Khafren is wonderful! I have had one session with him, and we are going to continue training with him every week. He is professional and extremely knowledgeable. He explains things in such an easy-to-understand way, and gives clear direction on next steps. My little Ruby is terrified of the world, and he seems to have great experience with other fearful pups. He is exactly what I was looking for in a trainer, and I am so hopeful he can help my Ruby.”
About: I blend professional certification with hands-on facility experience and shelter knowledge to create truly customized training. My positive methods don’t just teach commands—they build confidence and deepen your bond with your dog.
“Willow, our 5 month old German Shepherd female can’t wait for her training sessions. She is very responsive and soaking up the training. Fear free training is the only way to get the lovable companion you are looking for. Thank you, Ilya.”
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.
“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.”
“I have only had one session so far with Kai and my puppy is already so much more well behaved. He clearly really cares and knows what he’s doing. Highly recommend.”
“Great experience with Adrianne! Our session was really helpful and I already feel more confident working with my dog. She made everything easy to understand and gave me tools I can actually use. I’m excited to keep working with her and see our doodle at his best. Highly recommend”
About: I don't focus solely on treats. I'm able to win the dogs mind over to where they respect and mind their owner the first time. Positive reinforcement in a new light.
About: I have trained several of my personal dogs as well as several clients dogs. I specialize my approach on each dog after doing an evaluation to see what the Owner and dog both need to be successful.
“Ana was amazing. Very knowledgeable and not pushy towards certain training. She went above and beyond to learn my pup and his habits to create a plan. 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!”
“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.”
About: I am the only dog trainer in the United States with my combination of credentials and training experience, which includes working under the direction of a board certified veterinary behaviorist (DACVB) to identify medical issues which may present as behavior symptoms. I am an honor’s graduate of Animal Behavior College, a certified professional dog trainer through the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers, a Fear Free Certified Professional, a Certified Nose Work Instructor and an international faculty adviser for the Victoria Stilwell Academy for Dog Trainers.
“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 Pasadena.
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 Pasadena 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.
