Ashley C.
“I was very sceptical when I initially hired Ashley as to how effective training could be in a virtual setting. We saw positive results after only spending ten minutes with Ashley during her initial consultation. She gave us very specific insights as how we can improve our puppy's potty training that were actually very simple modifications to what we were doing, which produced very positive results. Her fee is very reasonable and affordable and she gets right down to business the minute we login to our sessions. She also sends us a written recap with very clear instructions on what we worked on so that we can practice and instill the lessons as "homework". I highly recommend Ashley as a trainer who really delivers based on the immediate results we see. She is very knowledgeable and clearly an expert in her field. We will continue to work with Ashley so that we can cultivate a strong bond with our precious new family member!”

Arianna A.
“Arianna has been incredible with my dog, Prince! She’s been caring, reliable, attentive, and clearly passionate about what she does. I noticed improvements in his behavior immediately. She has a natural ability with dogs and knows exactly how to build trust while reinforcing good habits. Prince also loves spending time with her dog, Milan. Their friendship has been wonderful for his socialization and has helped him build confidence around other dogs in a positive, healthy way. She treats him like her own, and I can’t recommend her highly enough!”

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.
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.

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.
Shar K.
“I recently had a zoom consultation with Shar.. needless to say she was AMAZING!!! I seeked her expertise in teaching me new strategies in helping my puppy settle into a routine. Lets just say I left with several notes! From something simple as where her wee wee pads are placed, to cognitive chew toys and simple commands Shar had answers to them all. You can tell right away she truly has a heart for animals. She stopped periodically to make sure I fully understood what she was saying, and if I didnt, she gave great examples that I was able to relate too. I am definitely looking forward to our next meeting in 2 weeks.”
Arielle W.

Christopher R.
“My puppy learned everything from basic manners to loose leash walking thanks to Christopher. He goes above and beyond for his clients, always ready to give you detailed instructions even outside of training sessions. Even the worst behaved dogs would learn quickly from Christopher’s patient and research backed techniques.”

She puts your pet first and makes sure they feel comfortable and safe. I recommend working with Heather for the best care of your pet.”

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.
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!”
Rachel H.
“Rachel was very helpful and friendly! She was able to address all of our concerns. Would recommend working with her.”

“He did such an incredible job with my female French Bulldog, Becky. She came into training thinking she ran the whole place but the patience, structure, and consistency completely transformed her.

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.
