About: Dogs should be allowed to be dog. It's our job to help our dogs live their best life. Every dog and every owner has different needs and I will take that into account and don't have a "one size fits all" to training as that's just not how dogs are. We must adapt and help our dogs to do so with their environments. Let's help make our dogs confident and content!

“I am so glad that I picked Laura for our puppies first session! You can see that she truly loves training dogs! She is very knowledgeable and gave me great tips how to train my puppy! I will be booking my next couple of sessions with her! Thank you so much Laura!!!”
Anna M.
About: I received my initial training in dog behavior at the San Diego Humane Society, with hours of hands on mentourship and virtual study of dog body language and handling methods, plus real-world application as an admissions specialist. This experience was a springboard for me into the world of dog training. I now have a broad portfolio of education and experience, have trained two service dogs and am working with a third. My personal dog is a former feral who is now trained for public access and even talks with buttons! I love clients with big goals, and dogs with tough shells.

“Before working with christian, my rescue dog Bella was nervous and unpredictable off-leash. After a few sessions with his e-collar program, she’s confident, responsive, and happier than ever. Watching her run freely in the park while still checking in with me feels like magic. He didn’t just train my dog — he changed our relationship. I’ll always be grateful for his patience and passion.”

About: I am a Certified Separation anxiety trainer. I work with other anxieties as well. Not just any trainer will do for these dogs. We have to handle anxiety in a particular way in order for the training to work. I like to do a lot with enrichment training to help them learn more about their environment. As well as relaxation therapy so they can learn how to better manage the way they feel.

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.
