“Training session #2 was spectacular. Madison is a source of positive support and confidence that helped me and Juno both feel like we could conquer even the harder stuff on our walks! I won’t be ready to say bye once our training goals are achieved!”
“Anji is such an amazing trainer. She is so good with our puppy and helped us learn how to properly care for him as a new pet owner, as well as train him to be independent and well behaved. Our puppy is still all puppy but I recently watched a new puppy owner with his puppy on a leash and thought how grateful I am that our young puppy at 15 weeks is leash trained. Anji is the best and the training she provides is comprehensive and worth the money!”
“Madeline is truly wonderful with our border collie. She taught him to respond and do wonderful tricks. She trained him to walk on leash without being afraid of other dogs. Madeline is a true dog psychiatrist. Her understanding of dog behavior is very impressive! She is a responsible and and responds within 24 hours.”
“Crystal is incredibly knowledgeable and truly understands what it means to make your puppy a cherished part of the family. If you’re looking to build trust—not fear—with your pup, Crystal is the perfect trainer. He has a gentle and intuitive approach, quickly recognizing and understanding your puppy’s behavior just by observing them. Crystal uses positive reinforcement and encouragement to guide your puppy, helping them integrate smoothly into your family. Thank you, Crystal—we love and appreciate all that you do.”
“I just had a video call consultation. Karen has great training solutions to the needs and problems me and my dog need help with. She laid out a very good plan on how we can train and achieve our goals. I'm very excited and happy to get started.”
“Maria did a wonderful job with Pepper. She taught my puppy core commands like sit, stay, place, drop it, and heel. She helped getting Pepper used to riding in a car. She also provided socialization, exposing my puppy to different kinds of environments, people, and sounds. She communicates well and is on time.”
“Xiangmin is patient, reliable, and knowledgeable with dogs. She cared for our energetic Weimaraner, Gunner, while reinforcing good behavior, positive training and structure. Highly recommend her.”
About: I founded Lotus Dog Training in 2021. As a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA) with a degree in Education and Behavioral Neuroscience, I ground my work in both learning theory and canine behavior science. These foundations guide my teaching style with human clients and allow me to create training plans that support both the dog and their parents as a team. My approach is holistic, adaptable, and centered on understanding the “why” behind the behavior.
“I’ve had a great experience with Nicole helping train my pets. She’s patient and always pays attention to the reactions and needs of them. It’s hard to find a balance between fun and structure and I think she walks that line perfectly”
“Robert has been to our house twice now and has helped us tremendously! Our two dogs, Daisy (GSD) and Gus (Super Mutt) have problems with reactivity and pulling while on the leash. Also, we have neighbor dogs that they react to and after only two sessions and practicing in between, our dogs are already changing their behavior. Well worth every penny, he's clearly an experienced trainer and completely understands dog behavior. He clearly explains instructions and makes sure he answers all your questions. Highly recommend!”
“We initially contacted Tatiana for boarding, but quickly realized how knowledgeable she is about dog behavior and training. During our dog's stays, she worked on confidence building, shyness control, and good manners. We noticed real progress over time, and our dog always came home happy, relaxed, and eager to return. Tatiana genuinely loves dogs and cares about the dogs in her care and obviously creates a safe environment where they can learn and thrive. We definitely recommend her!”
“Jennifer was very professional and her high level of experience and method with fearful and anxious dogs on leash was calming and encouraging for our dog. Her training tips are very logical and practical and we are experiencing positive results already after one session. She is also helping us find sensible solutions for our other dog’s indoor digging behavior that has plagued us. She is very observant and understands the behavior modification goals we are looking for.”
About: I am GoodPup Trainer Certified and have completed a hands-on apprenticeship, giving me both the technical knowledge and real-world experience needed to help dogs and their humans succeed. My training style is positive, clear, and tailored to each dog, focusing on building strong communication, confidence, and good behavior that lasts. I’ve worked with dogs of many ages, temperaments, and energy levels — from puppies learning the basics to adult dogs needing structure, manners, or behavior support.
“We can't recommend Christina from Tails Dog Training highly enough! Our weekly sessions are a highlight. She has a remarkable understanding of dog psychology, turning training into fun, engaging games we all enjoy. Christina's prepared a structured plan with achievable weekly goals, but also offers optional "stretch" games when we're feeling ambitious. Most importantly, she's realistic about training a small puppy in our busy family and is always incredibly positive and encouraging. If you want a knowledgeable and effective dog trainer, look no further!”
“Lisa has spent her life learning from and working with dogs, and she shares that wisdom with gentle confidence. She connects naturally with the dogs she handles and supports owners with the same ease. Her long experience means she leads with compassion, sets healthy boundaries, and builds thoughtful, individualized plans for every dog. You can count on Lisa for attentive care, reliable structure, and a sincere understanding of your pet. Trust your pets in her care.”
“Fantastic experience with Beth! She was exceptionally patient, listened to our needs, and gave us clear, actionable advice. She took the time to address all our concerns and made us feel very comfortable. We look forward to working with her more in the future for our dog’s training and eventually for a new cat!”
“I highly recommend Lanyao as a dog trainer. I took her class when she was at PetSmart, and it made a big difference for my reactive dog. She has great training skills and taught me practical ways to better manage my dog’s behavior. She is professional and focuses on positive reinforcement, which I really appreciate. My dog improved a lot after her class and truly enjoys working with her.”
“We were very glad to find Sasha to help us with some training for our new puppy. Sasha is so knowledgeable, patient, and kind. You can really tell she loves what she does. Sasha really took the time to listen to our questions and give thoughtful feedback as to what we could do to help our puppy learn in the important first few months of her life. We also appreciated her enthusiasm and encouraging nature. I’m sure we will use Sasha’s training services again as our puppy grows. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing any sort of dog training help! She is awesome!”
About: I don't just focus on rewards. I also focus on the dog's natural desires, so they learn from natural consequences. This combination creates a powerful training style where dogs learn, and what they learn is locked in for the real world.

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 Renton.
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 Renton 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.
