“Ash is an excellent trainer. She really knows what she’s doing, a true professional. Our dog took a kinship to her too, she is gentle and loving with dogs. Affordable too, and very flexible with our busy resident schedules. Our dog has improved behaviors tremendously.”

Sabrina T.
“Sabrina has been such an amazing trainer so far. I am planning on doing the 4 week puppy program with her and her consultation process has already instilled so much confidence as a first time owner. I am positive my puppy will be successful in her program in the next upcoming week. She also provided me with a printed plan for her program with explanations, details, and our goals. Overall, I am very impressed and super excited!”
Jackie G.
“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.”
Rachel C.
“Rachel was very knowledgeable and answered every question we had about our puppy Guinness. We wanted the whole family to be part of the training session and she was very patient with us and guided us throughout. You can tell her love for dogs on how she handled ours. Would definitely recommend 😊”
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!”

From personal experience walking my own dog with Justin, he is extremely skilled at pack walks and trail hikes and is always aware of each dog’s abilities. He’s very physically capable, so your dog will absolutely get the exercise they need. Justin is also great with basic obedience and commands and his knowledge of dog behavior sets him apart.

FAQs
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.
