Popular San Antonio dog trainers
“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.”
“Blayre has worked wonders with my very shy German Shepherd foster dog, Ernie. She is gentle and loving and always seems to know exactly what Ernie needs to build his confidence and trust. She has a wealth of knowledge and fun training techniques and has just wowed me with all that she's willing to do for Ernie. And of course he loves her!”
“Adam is one of the most professional and knowledgeable trainers in the area! He will exceed your expectations and not only train your pet but give you the knowledge you need to be successful with them as well!”

Shailynn is a science-based positive-reinforcement Certified Trainer who is fantastic at finding solutions to behavior problems that work for both dogs and their families. 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.
“Working with Robin has been a game-changer! My Doberman was strong-willed, but she showed me how to communicate clearly and confidently. Her methods are practical, easy to follow, and really work. I’ve noticed such a positive change in my dog’s behavior, and training feels less stressful for both of us. Robin’s patience and insight make the process enjoyable, and I feel like my dog and I have a better relationship overall now.”
“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.
