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.

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.”

“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.”

I couldn’t recommend her more highly.”
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%.”
Ariella L.
“Such a sweet and gentle soul! She was amazing with my joy and after just one lesson she left me with the knowledge to not only teach my dog a better temperament but the patience to do it! Even better that she’s local to me. 100/10 would book again!”
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”
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!”
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.
