About: It’s very important to train dogs as early as my possible to utilize their innate communication possibilities to learn, desired behavior. Quality training can influence their learning ability.

Kristina S.
About: I am a force free trainer who has over 5 years of dog handling experience. I tailor training plans to suit each case, monitor progress and adjust accordingly. I don't believe in forcing people into commiting to a set number of lessons, because each dogs learns at a different pace and each owner needs to balance the time committment of training to his or her unique lifestyle. I help you try to find that balance while paying as you go.
Michelle A.
About: I work hard to find a balance between the owner and their pets. We all know that life happens, so thinking of what is do able and realistic.
Tyray F.
About: I've worked in various places, daycares, Training facilities and shelters. The amount of dogs I've worked with is pretty expensive. I also have a great helper dog named betty!
Margaret K.
“Margaret was incredibly thoughtful and genuinely lovely to work with. She brought fresh ideas every time we hit a roadblock and understood my dog in a way that felt both intuitive and practical. She always had a creative solution ready to go, and thanks to her approach, my dog made a ton of progress in such a short time. 10/10 recommend!”
Karen R.
“Karen is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about her craft. She definitely exceeded my expectations for our first session. She is a great teacher and was very patient with all the questions we had. Highly recommend!”
Liia S.
About: What sets me apart is my focus on communication, fulfillment, and real-life integration — not just obedience commands. I help owners understand why their dog behaves the way they do and how to create clearer communication through consistency, structure, enrichment, and engagement. Rather than relying heavily on correction, I focus on building thoughtful behavior, emotional regulation, and practical skills that fit naturally into everyday life and strengthen the relationship between dogs and their humans.
Anna T.
About: I am passionate about dogs. Even before I became dog trainer I used to volunteer with ACC and ASPCA, and fostered dogs for number of NY based rescues. Not two dogs are alike, and I treat each and every dog as an individual
Heather S.
“Heather is an incredible trainer and an even better human. She’s helped me make real progress with my dog, Charlie, who struggles with anxiety and reactivity. From the start, she’s been patient, kind, and flexible—always working around my schedule and meeting me where I am. She never makes me feel judged, only supported. Charlie has improved so much. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.”
Liz L.
“Liz is a compassionate, brilliant person who deeply understands both dogs and the people who love them. Even a seemingly small piece of advice from Liz greatly improved my communication with my dog and had a noticeable effect. Liz is non-judgmental and takes the time to deeply understand both you and your dog. I am choosy about who I trust regarding my dog, but Liz truly loves dogs and understands what makes them tick. I could not recommend someone more highly.”
Carleton E.
About: I truly care about an owner's dog/s,their individual needs and how their bond is with them and I will show them the best way to have their bond strengthen and give them the best type of training specifically needed for them and their dogs needs.
Rhoderick B.
“I had a great experience with Roderick! Even on the first day, my dog already showed noticeable improvements. She’s not pulling as much on walks and is becoming more obedient. Roderick was patient, knowledgeable, and explained everything so I could keep up the training at home. Highly recommend!”
Shar K.
“Shar was extraordinary. What a beautiful gift and such intricate knowledge! She is a born teacher of dogs and those who love them and want to forge a lifelong bond.”
Yi-Hsiuan W.
“I cannot recommend Aisha highly enough! I originally reached out to her because my Shiba Inu, Pika, had developed intense fears of everyday objects like boxes and plastic bags. I was also looking for professional guidance on general behavior and obedience. From start to finish, the experience has been transformative for both Pika and me. Before we even met in person, Aisha scheduled a phone consultation to deeply understand our specific needs and Pika’s environment. This initial investment in learning our situation made a world of difference. Aisha helped me identify Pika’s exact stimulus levels and thresholds. She had me record every item that caused him fear, which allowed her to design a highly structured, custom desensitization plan. By "gamifying" the process and using treats to create positive associations with his "scary" items, Pika began building genuine confidence. It was amazing to watch him go from fearful to curious. Beyond the specific fears, Aisha provided invaluable techniques for high-stimulation environments. She taught me effective recall methods for when Pika gets overwhelmed at the dog park—something I had previously struggled with. If you are looking for a trainer who is patient, knowledgeable, and creates results that last, Aisha is the one to call!”
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.
