“She takes the time to hear all your details about your puppy and what you want to work on. She wrote out a whole plan for me which is wonderful. I work 12 hr shifts and can’t always train my puppy but she does 1:1 which is amazing.”
“Kimberly is fabulous! Just in the first few sessions, we have seen such a huge improvement in our pup! She is very patient (with both the puppy and us!) and makes us feel extremely comfortable! We all look forward to our weekly sessions!”
“Cobey takes the time to give you the skills needed to work with your dog and can tailor his “homework assignments” to your specific needs! He does wonders with teaching dogs to make you their first priority. It takes a village and Cobey is one of the key ingredients to make you a happy owner with an even happier dog!”
“I highly recommend Paula H to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, patient and caring professional trainer. Paul H. took the time to understand my Tucker’s individual personality. She has provided clear, practical guidance that has made training feel manageable and positive. Paula H gives us a written summary of our training sessions so I can refer to it when doing training on my own. Paula H makes training look easy with her patience and love for dogs. Anyone looking for a professional dog trainer will be very happy to have Paula H as their dog trainer. I know she has made a difference for us.”
“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.”
“Working with this dog trainer has been an absolute game changer. From the very first session, it was clear how knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely caring they are, not just with dogs, but with their owners too. My dog’s behavior has improved so much, and I feel more confident handling different situations thanks to their guidance. The training methods were clear, effective, and tailored specifically to our needs. I can’t recommend them enough to anyone looking to build a stronger, happier relationship with their dog.”

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.
