“Love Cindy!!! She gave me fantastic tools that are working immediately! You can tell she loves dogs and knows her stuff. Looking forward to our next session. Thanks Cindy!!!”
“Rubina is amazing! She made me feel so comfortable and encouraged as a new dog mom. I really like her approach to behavior changes with rewarding calm behavior and her hands on help with leash training. My Gordito, a 2 year old adopted chiweenie with high arousal, has already benefitted so much from only 2 sessions and so have I! Thank you so much Rubina!”
“I recently had my first virtual training session with Jason, and I couldn’t be more impressed! Even over video, he was patient, knowledgeable, and very clear in explaining techniques. Jason took the time to really listen to my concerns, tailor the advice to my dog’s specific needs, and give me practical steps I could start using right away. I already feel more confident and can see improvements just from our initial session. I’m really looking forward to our upcoming in-person training in a couple of weeks. If the Zoom session was this helpful, I can only imagine how great the hands-on training will be. Highly recommend Jason to anyone looking for a skilled, supportive, and effective dog trainer!”
About: I am prior military and highschool football/track coach so, teaching comes natural. I am passionate about dog training and willing to work with any dog and patient enough to trainer any.
“Rebekah is an incredible dog trainer—patient, knowledgeable, and truly kind. She not only understands dogs, but also takes time to learn about the family’s routines and goals. Her training plans are realistic and tailored to set everyone up for success. Highly recommend!”
“Skylar has been our trainer for approximately 3 years. My 4-yr old Doodle has suffered with anxiety often preventing her from engaging in common activities (i.e. walking, being around loud noises, and riding in the car). From the start Skylar was able to develop a special bond with both my dog and I. Her gentle approach to desensitizing & social anxiety have largely contributed to our success. Not to mention the firm and gentle approach with me, as a dog parent! She is knowledgeable and interested in getting your animal on the right and successful path.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Lorin! My 8-year-old chihuahua mix, Frankie, is yappy, anxious, and excitable, and I wasn’t sure how much progress we could make, but the improvement has been incredible. Lorin is attentive, truly listens, and provides clear written feedback with structured, manageable training plans. I was skeptical about virtual sessions, but they exceeded expectations. She also stepped in for last-minute boarding, sent daily video updates, and continued training. I feel more confident, and my bond with Frankie is stronger. I couldn't ask for more!”
“Isaiah was awesome with my dog Zeus. Zeus is very reactive towards people and dogs and Isaiah came in and handled him with no problem, gave us a bunch of tricks and taught us how to handle Zeus' reactivity in less than an hour. We're definitely hiring him again in the future.”
“Julie is awesome! I’m a first time puppy owner and she helped me understand the how to get my puppy to control himself through attention and treats. He was crying a lot hen I would put him in his crate and he calmed down a lot after one session!”

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 Scottsdale.
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 Scottsdale 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.
