“We had our first consultation/training with Dylan and he was great! Our sweet puppy is 9 weeks old and he knew exactly what she needed. His instructions were clear and very engaging. He spent more than an hour with us. We are definitely signing up for more sessions with Dylan!”
“We couldn’t be more impressed with our trainer! From the first session, her kindness and genuine love for animals was immediately apparent. What truly sets her apart is her ability to identify potential issues before they even become problems — something that gives us tremendous peace of mind as first-time puppy parents. She has a thoughtful, patient approach that makes both us and our pup feel at ease. We have complete faith in her skills and are excited to continue moving forward with our puppy training sessions. Highly recommend!”

Calm, patient, and intuitive, she ensures every interaction is rooted in kindness and respect. Kristie tailors her approach to each dog’s unique personality and answers every question with thoughtful, heart-led skill. We saw positive results quickly, but her impact goes beyond that—she teaches humans how to build deeper, more respectful relationships with their pets. Her dedication shines through in everything she does; she’s a true expert with a huge heart.”

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 Plano.
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 Plano 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.
