“Ash came, and played with all four of my dogs and laid out a carefully thought out plan to train them, especially my youngest dog, Quincy. They were great, offered some real tips and ideas for Quinn and made a plan for next week.I cant wait to learn and share with my dogs. Ash was tremendous!”
Stacy M.
“Stacy has been amazing to work with! She’s incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and truly cares about the dogs she works with. Xena absolutely loves her, and we’ve seen so much growth in her confidence. One of the biggest things for me is how much I can trust her. Knowing Xena is happy, safe, and in such good hands gives me peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend Stacy to anyone looking for a trainer who genuinely cares about both dogs and their owners!”

“Jackie has been absolutely amazing to work with. Her patience, knowledge, and genuine love for dogs truly set her apart. She doesn’t just train dogs, she teaches owners how to understand, communicate with, and confidently lead their dogs. We’ve seen incredible progress thanks to her guidance, and the bond with our dog is stronger than ever. We are so grateful for everything Jackie has done and couldn’t recommend her more highly.”

Sabrina T.
“Sabrina boarded my puppy Ruby for 10 days. Ruby is a Nervous and timid pup with lots of energy. After the introduction, Ruby was immediately calm and comfortable with Sabrina. This made us very happy to leave Ruby since was the first time being boarded. Sabrina did some training with her while she had her. Since Ruby has been home, she has been more responsive to being gentle and easy especially when given treats! I highly recommend Sabrina to watch and train dogs and cats!”

Frequently asked questions about Dog Training on Rover
To list on Rover, trainers must:
Pass a third-party background check
Show proof of education or certification in dog training
Commit to rewards-based training
Rewards-based training encourages dogs to offer desired behaviors by reinforcing the behavior with something the dog likes, including treats, play, or toys. Rewards-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!
No problem! When you initially contact a trainer, you will be prompted to select a proposed first session date — this is not final, and is confirmed only if both parties decide to move forward. We also recommend contacting multiple trainers to make sure you find a trainer that is the right fit for you and your pet.
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.
