Jack R.
“My pit bull blue was extremely scared of dogs and people but for whatever reason he loves jack and his Shiba Hudson. After working weeks with Jack our boy blue is now the friendly boy ever.”
Brittany S.
“I have had the pleasure of watching Brittany work with many dogs throughout her career. She is caring and compationate towards all of her clients dog and frankly any dog. She is energetic and driven. I could not recommend a better dog trainer.”
Lindsay C.
“Lindsay is the consummate professional. She approaches her craft with intelligence, kindness, grace and the professionalism every dog and their human deserves. She has a special gift of being able to understand what the dog is saying as she observes their body language. That's a gift most trainers don't have. I've worked with Lindsay for years and it's been an absolute pleasure and privilege watching her work her magic. Anyone that has Lindsay for a trainer is extremely fortunate because she's going to help you and your dog!”

About: Welcome to the "Cute & Complicated Club!" This is a Judgement-Free Zone, so there's no blaming and shaming of guardians. I think patience and communication are some of my stand-out skills when people work with me. And my sense of humor - you've gotta laugh! I take the time to explain things thoroughly so you understand exactly what's going on and what we're going to do to change things.
Rachel W.
About: What sets me apart is my focus on the whole dog, not just obedience cues. As a certified trainer with years of hands-on experience in rescue, shelter behavior, and pet dog training, I understand how genetics, stress, environment, and daily routines affect behavior. I don’t rely on cookie-cutter methods or quick fixes; I tailor everything to the individual dog in front of me. I’m calm, patient, and observant. I take time to understand a dog’s emotional state before asking them to learn anything. My goal is for every dog to feel safe, confident, and understood while they’re with me.

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.
