About: I completed a 6 month training program at Amanda Gagnon Dog Training (UWS) before passing my CCPDT certification exam. I have experience with puppies and basic training and some experience with more difficult dogs as I have fostered 5 wonderful, exuberant, sometimes anxious dogs from ACC. My beautiful blonde pit mix has taught me a lot about dog body language, effective communication, and creative ways to train while having fun.

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.
Kayla B.
“Kayla is amazing! She just gets dogs. She really understands their behavior and meets you and your dog exactly where you're at in your training journey. She's super kind, easy to work with, and I completely trust her with my dogs anytime. She’s helped me work through some training blocks I was stuck on, and I’m so grateful for her support. I can’t recommend her enough! She’s a fantastic trainer and just a great person to have in your corner.”
Tanisha T.
“Tanisha is an excellent trainer. She has a wonderful calm demeanor. She teaches both the pet parents and the dog . I highly recommend”
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.”
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.”
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!”
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.
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!”
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.
Shar K.
“After one consultation, it’s clear that Shar is a talented trainer. From the moment Shar walked into our home, our 11 week old puppy’s attention was fully engaged, and within 1.5 hours, he showed us that he is more than capable of learning multiple cues, even at his very young age. Shar also taught us behaviors that we should avoid in order to assist our puppy with his training. We definitely recommend Shar to anyone who is interested in training their pup!”
Elissavet M.
“Elissavet is great! So far we had two sessions with her, the first was an introduction to my dog and his environment, we addressed the most important issues my puppy is going through, he’s 1 year and 9 months, maltipoo. She gave me valuable techniques I applied in my journey of training my pet. The second was even better, that same night my dog already was learning from the techniques she showed me, we addressed so many things in this second session, every minute was worth it! Besides Elissavet is very warmth, nice and she actually listens pay attention to your concerns. I’m putting a lot of time plus effort into training my dog, that’s helping also. I recommend her 100%.”
Yi-Hsiuan W.
“I initially found Aisha because she is in my neighborhood and it was very convenient, but it turned out to be much more than that. She is professional, communicates very well, and was flexible in catering the training plan around my work schedule. She helped me better understand Jolyne's body language and taught me how to respond appropriately. With her guidance, Jolyne has already become noticeably calmer. I really appreciate how she explains everything clearly so I can continue reinforcing the training myself. I highly recommend Aisha to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and thoughtful trainer.”
Cristian P.
“Christian was great full of knowledge and valuable information on training my 4 month old Chihuahua he was very friendly and patient and carries alot of experience I was nervous about dog training and he gave me confidence in the task,I highly recommend this great dog trainer”
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.
