Anabel C.
“Anabel provided immediately actionable steps for my senior rescue foxhound who is learning to live in the city -- we worked on walking on a leash, coming when called, and redirection. She also gave advice on how to work on reducing his separation anxiety through training. Thanks Anabel!”
Ashley C.
“Ashley was a great help in training our 12 week old foster pup. She gave very clear commands and advice for all of the key training at this age. I would recommend Ashley to anyone and will definitely rebook in the future.”
Amanda F.
“Amanda is amazing! She is so great with both of our dogs and we will be using her again in the future!”

Michelle A.
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.
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!”
Tyray F.
About: I've worked in various places, daycares, Training facilities and shelters. The amount of dogs I've worked with is pretty expensive. I also have a great helper dog named betty!
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”
Karen R.
“Karen is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about her craft. She definitely exceeded my expectations for our first session. She is a great teacher and was very patient with all the questions we had. 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.”
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.
Anna T.
About: I am passionate about dogs. Even before I became dog trainer I used to volunteer with ACC and ASPCA, and fostered dogs for number of NY based rescues. Not two dogs are alike, and I treat each and every dog as an individual
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.”
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.
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!”
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!”
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.”
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.
