“Nikki was so knowledgeable and informative. I left our session excited about getting started and training T’Challa. Small details matter to us and he referred to us by name which made a big difference. He prepared a plan to follow to get the best results. He calmed my nerves about this new world we are navigating. He truly great at his job.”

“I've done group classes and private training with Liana. I could go on and on about how skilled and effective she is as a trainer/teacher. But what I appreciate the most is her optimism and encouragement. Training a puppy is not for the faint of heart. Many times I was at the end of my rope, and Liana always left me feeling reenergized and confident that my dog and I could succeed at basic training.”
“I met virtually with Lindsay to get some initial guidance as I think through the timeline, process, and overall plan for puppy training. She was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and very detailed in how she walked through what to expect and how to prepare. I left the conversation feeling much more confident and informed. I’m looking forward to reconnecting with her when my puppy reaches training age.”

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 Tampa.
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 Tampa 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.
