“Kimberly had made an improvement in our pup with one session’s work! She definitely knows her stuff and has experience that shows in her words and interactions with the dog. She picked up on so many small things we could change that would make it more clear to the dog what we wanted and help us interact in a positive vibe using rewards to motivate behavior. We are optimistic at the immediate difference and look forward to her continued guidance.”
About: What sets me apart is my calm, intuitive approach and focus on truly understanding each dog as an individual rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. I bring a lot of real-world experience with a wide range of animals, which helps me read behavior and adjust quickly in the moment. My background as a photographer also makes me highly observant of subtle body language cues. I prioritize building trust first, then layering in training so progress feels natural, steady, and sustainable for both dog and owner.
“Jessica worked with me and my 8 month old puppy Ozzy with a personal 8 week course. Ozzy came out knowing lots of new commands that we still use daily like going to his bed to lay down for treats, loose-leash walking techniques, and more! Jessica is super nice and friendly and makes you feel very comfortable while working with her.”
“I’ve worked with several trainers over the years, but none compare to christian rosario. His e-collar off-leash training is precise, humane, and extremely effective. He explained everything clearly, set realistic goals, and delivered results faster than expected. My dog now follows commands effortlessly in any environment. If you want lasting results and a well-behaved companion, he’s the one to call.”

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 Rochester.
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 Rochester 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.
