Amazing. As high a recommendation as possible. I look forward to working with Jason again. My canine-cutie, Bear is a rescue with a lot of trauma. It was crucial for me to find the right person. I am grateful to have found Jason, as he has extensive experience working with victimized dogs. He employs a positive framework to create a safe space for Bear. He also utilizes exercises designed to boost Bear's confidence and teach him at the same time.

Rubina was very professional and as soon as she arrived she immediately got to assessing Hakase's behavior and already gave me effective behavior modification tips to help with him and meeting strangers. In addition, Rubina advised me on an effective strategy to address his jumping when he sees the leash. Just within the hour I felt that I gained so much insight on Hakase's perspective and see small but meaningful improvements in his behavior! Can't recommend Rubina enough!

Skylar is an incredible dog trainer, and our dog Auggie is proof! Since working with Skylar, Auggie has made so much progress, the difference in his behavior has been remarkable. Skylar is patient, encouraging, and clearly knows how to connect with dogs in a way that actually gets results. Beyond the skills, Skylar is just a genuinely wonderful person, professional, reliable, and a joy to work with. We couldn't recommend her more highly!

Lorin is absolutely amazing!! She knows the ins and outs of how a dog functions and knows exactly what they need. My dog is like my child and I would trust Lorin any day. She is reliable, responsible, flexible with her schedule, compassionate, and always understanding of daily routines. My dog adores her and loves to train with her. Lorin will provide you with enrichment exercises to do with your dog and explains certain behaviors. She is always there for advice as well, even after training. Lorin is without a doubt, a top tier trainer!

Isaiah was awesome with my dog Zeus. Zeus is very reactive towards people and dogs and Isaiah came in and handled him with no problem, gave us a bunch of tricks and taught us how to handle Zeus' reactivity in less than an hour. We're definitely hiring him again in the future.

About: I grew up with a lot of big dogs. My parents had a Tibetan mastiff and she had three litters of puppies that equated to 32 puppies. I’ve worked with West Highland terriers, border collies, beagles, huskies, malamute’s and Wolf hybrids. And some cats? All before I was an adult.

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 Phoenix.

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 Phoenix 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 Phoenix 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.
