Ashley C.
“Ashley is a very kind, patient, and joyful trainer with a sunshine smile who always has a positive perspective on behavioral challenges and keen eye for catching proclivities amongst animal interactions. She has been one of my dogs’ trainer (an Australian Shepherd) for nearly three years, since she was a puppy… and during the last year has done a wonderful job helping me with my other rescue dog (a possible Beagle/Foxhound mix, also around three years old) who joined our small pack— both high~energy babies. I could go on praising this wonderful person but will sum this up by saying that I highly recommend Ashley for your pets’ needs! ✨🐾🙏🏽🤗🙏🏽🐾✨”
Liceth Dominique B.
“I was really disappointed with my experience. I paid $93 for a consultation that could have easily been done over the phone. During the session, the trainer didn’t even interact with my dog and basically just asked me questions from a pre-filled questionnaire. At the end, I was given two training plans that felt generic and AI-generated, rather than personalized to my dog. Overall, I felt like I didn’t get the value I expected and would not recommend this service.”
Anthony H.
“Anthony is an amazing dog trainer he is so compassionate, kind, and patient. He's very professional , always on time, does wonderful work with the dogs , extremely knowledgeable , sets goals with your dogs and achieves them. I can't say enough good things about Anthony as a wonderful dog trainer. Trust is not something you can buy it's something earned and he has earned my trust as well as all my dogs. You'll be so blessed if he has the opportunity to train your dogs.”
Linda B.
“Linda is a fellow dog training colleague whom I have known professionally for 9 years. We co-taught training classes together so I can speak first hand to Lynn's professionalism, dedication to her clients and their dogs, and continuing education to offer her clients the most up to date, science based training.”
Elizabeth S.
“Elizabeth was wonderful and very knowledgeable. She gave me a lot of tips and knowledge to train and help our family dog get used to our toddler. Our dog even ran to the window looking for her when she left. Very grateful and would recommend 100%.”
Richard P.
“Our dog trainer exceeded every expectation! Patient, knowledgeable, and effective, they transformed our dog’s behavior and confidence. We saw amazing results and highly recommend them.”
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!”
Emily A.
“Simply the best training experience I have ever had! I had hired so many people calling themselves trainers to get no results until I found Emily. Wise, knowledgeable and reliable, Emily shows up ready to work! She gets the job done and I couldn’t be more happy with the results! Thanks Emily!”
Loretta C.
“There’s so much to say about Loretta. She’s awesome as a trainer and a person. She trained my dog Winston and he absolutely loved her. He still loves her. She comes to visit him and he gets so excited. She’s become a part of the family. She’s a perfect trainer!!!”

About: My focus is on giving pet owners the ability to train their dogs from the comfort of their own home through virtual training. Although there are benefits to both in-person and at-home training, for certain dogs the training process goes a lot smoother when there aren't as many outside factors in the picture, as well as owners having the ability to get dog training without the stress of having to work around schedules and times to leave the house. I want to bring the same beneficial training to you right from your home!

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.
