Christopher R.
“We had a phenomenal experience working with Chris and will be reaching out to him again for any dog training needs in the future! We have a 5 year old cavapoo (male) who had some minor behavioral concerns. Chris brought his vast knowledge/experience into our home and the changes we saw in our dog have been amazing. His training techniques/strategies were extremely helpful and we continue to use/reinforce them as owners. We would highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for a dog trainer!”

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!”
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.”

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!”
Heather S.
“Heather is a very nice and patient dog trainer, when Cinnamon struggled with group sessions, she went out of her way to do one on one sessions to make sure Cinnamon had the best care. 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.”
Annmarie K.
“AnnMarie has been an invaluable resource in helping us work with our smart but reactive boy. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and explains not just what to do, but why it works. She works with us both inside our home and out in real-world settings, giving us practical tools we can use every day. Every session leaves us feeling more confident, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled and supportive trainer.”

henry j.
“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. Now she’s obedient, well-behaved, and still keeps her personality. Definitely my go-to dog trainer on Long Island.”

She provides each of her clients with lots of different resources that help with outlining training skills and techniques that you can incorporate into you and your dog's daily routine. Aubrey is able to also provide comprehensive behavioral assessments that give you a wonderful idea of how your dog is interacting with their environment. Couldn't recommend her and her services more!!!”
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.
