Kerri W.
“We have completed 4 sessions with Kerri and are very satisfied with our dog’s training to date. Prior to beginning training we had a meet and greet. Kerri was understanding of our adult dog’s need for training. She then created a plan for our dog. With each session she arrives with a printed plan of skills we are going to work on along with homework to practice between sessions. She is available for questions between sessions as needed and provides additional information and suggestions. She explains everything and is very patient with my energetic Labrador. I highly recommend her as a dog trainer.”

Ashley C.
“Since our first session, we achieved a lot using her techniques and continue to learn new stuff every session. Easy to talk to, great direction and would highly recommend.”
Holly K.
“Holly came highly recommended through a friend and her dog training services were amazing!! She took the time to get to know my puppy to understand how she would best learn. She is very patient and positive, both with my pup, and with teaching me how to maintain and build on what we are learning. I would absolutely recommend Holly for anyone's dog training needs!!”
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.
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!”
Rafaela R.
“Rafaela is an amazing dog trainer. She designed the training session based on our schedule. Her training methods are clear, and easy to follow. We’ve seen huge improvements in our dog’s behavior, and she also taught us how to properly reinforce good habits. Highly recommended!”

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.
