Ash T.
“Ash is amazing! Took the time to sit on the floor when meeting Miley and let our anxious and territorial dog get used to the new stranger in our house. It's only been one day since training but there was no leash pulling at all on our morning walk!!!! Our dog Miley has been following all the commands and direction of training in the house too. So far, so good. We were given helpful tips and guidance of what we can do to consistently reinforce the behaviors we want to see. Ash really tailored the training to our dogs specific needs and behaviors. Thanks Ash!!!!! Highly recommended!!!!!!”
Jo C.
“Our pup adores Jo! Maybe too much with her constant jumping which is one of the reasons we’re working with Jo! With only a couple sessions so far, we’re already seeing progress and have great take aways to continue with in between sessions.”

“Kristina was amazing with our standard poodle. At only 11 weeks, he’s quite a handful, but Katrina really helped my wife and I get a handle on training. Would strongly recommend.”
Jennifer Z.
“Jen took the time to explain and educate my husband and I about our dog’s behavior. Jen is patient and encouraging and truly wants us to succeed!”
Grace S.
“Grace is knowledgeable, kind, communicative and a calming presence for my dog! She taught me and my pup a lot in just one session, leads with positive reinforcement and compassion, and I feel confident that after a few more sessions, my pup will be confident, calm, and ready to take on any challenge, big or small. I highly recommend Grace for doing training!”
Lily Q.
“We greatly appreciate the time Lily was able to give us and our dog. She took the time to learn about our dog, his reactivity, and behavior. She also explained her training methodology which we believe our dog with thrive with. We would recommend Lily to anyone looking for a trainer!”

Cheryl D.
“Cheryl is my go-to dog person! I swear she must speak dog as a second language. She helped me with a singleton puppy stray, and together we saved his life. He’s now happy and healthy and a big brother to a baby boy. She has made me a better dog mom and really knows her stuff. I’ve worked with several other trainers before for our furfaces, but no one anywhere is like Cheryl. I trust her wholeheartedly, and so do our dogs. She is also the best caregiver to our older guy and is not trust him with many. Cheryl is the right choice for us every time.”
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.
