“We just got our new puppy and have been working on basic training, including crate training. Adam was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to coach us through the initial steps, as well as what to focus on next. He also provided us with a detailed written guide that has been very helpful as we continue our crate training at home. We really appreciated his guidance and would definitely work with him again for future sessions!”
“Blayre is outstanding. They are so kind and patient and incredibly knowledgeable. My wife and I have complete faith in their abilities. Our dog, Aki, has come such a long way since we've started training with Blayre.”
“We just finished up our first session with Ronny. He offered a wealth of knowledge and information. He not only interacted with our dog but also ensured we were comfortable with the training exercises and allowed us to demonstrate them. He also gave us great training tips for our adult dog. We will definitely be continuing our training journey for both of our dogs with Ronny. We’re already noticing a difference and cannot wait to continue.”
“Robin seemed very knowledgeable about what needed to be accomplished with my two dogs. Explained very nicely the steps. I am booking her for my first training this weekend.”
About: I know that just like parenting a toddler you have to be stern but respectful. It's about finding mutual respect, common ground, and outlets for certain behaviors. I don't believe their are such things as bad dogs, only undesired behaviors from pet parents!
About: With 4 years of experience working with Military Working Dogs, I bring a strong background in obedience, handling, structure, and behavior. I tailor training to each dog and owner, with the goal of creating clear communication, better manners, and a stronger relationship between you and your dog.

Her kind, patient, and down-to-earth approach always gets results, and her clients invariably benefit from her expertise, instructions, and huge love of dogs!”
About: What sets me apart is my relationship-based approach to training. I don’t just focus on obedience, I focus on building a strong, clear line of communication between you and your dog. By prioritizing engagement, trust, and handler focus, I create training that’s reliable not just in sessions, but in real life situations. My goal is to give you the tools and confidence to lead your dog successfully long after training is complete.
“Glenda was absolutely fantastic! Calliope took to her immediately and you can tell not only how much she cares but how good she is at what she does. She gave us ao many helpful tips, tricks, advice but also made sure to reinforce the things we had been doing correctly. Calliope being both our first husky but also our first rescue we weren't sure if we were doing what was best for her. I can say that having Glenda come in was the best thing and I cannot recommend her highly enough whether you have a rescue, a puppy, or any dog in between. Thank you again Glenda and we will absolutely see you again soon!”

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 San Antonio.
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 San Antonio 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.
