Julian F.
“Storm had another great session with Julian! He worked on leash reactivity at a busy park and blocking out distractions. Storm was doing great by the end of the training!”
Morgan H.
“I am so impressed with Morgan and her abilities to train dogs. I’ve encountered a lot of trainers over the years, and Morgan is a standout. She knows so much about dogs, understands what their temperaments are, and knows how to train them to get the results you want. She is good!! She was the only one who could teach my lovable Sheltie the down position. And two other trainers, as well as I, weren’t able to do it! Morgan’s own dog is so well trained. She walks the walk and talks the talk, and believe me, she can help you!”
Lindsey C.
“Lindsey was very patient with our senior dog and even took extra time for our dog to show her the problems we were concerned about. She also answered all the questions we had and you can tell she cares alot for the dog she’s working with. Book with her!”
Liceth Dominique B.
“I was really disappointed with my experience. I paid $93 for a consultation that could have easily been done over the phone. During the session, the trainer didn’t even interact with my dog and basically just asked me questions from a pre-filled questionnaire. At the end, I was given two training plans that felt generic and AI-generated, rather than personalized to my dog. Overall, I felt like I didn’t get the value I expected and would not recommend this service.”
Richard P.
“Our dog trainer exceeded every expectation! Patient, knowledgeable, and effective, they transformed our dog’s behavior and confidence. We saw amazing results and highly recommend them.”
Crystal L.
“I believe that Crystal is a very good dog trainer. She trained my Golden last year and I was pleased with the results. She was patient and knowledgeable in dealing with my dog. He and I both learned a lot from her. I saw that she really cared a lot about my dog.”
Maryam J.
“Maryam was awesome and helped me build a custom plan for my puppy that fits my lifestyle and needs!”
Leah F.
“Leah F is our go to person for anything dog. In all seriousness, she is more than helpful with any unwanted behaviors in an out of the house. She cares so much about any dog she's with that she notices if something seems off. What I mean is she is a kind and gentle dog trainer with the knowledge and experience to know if a dog may need medical attention.”

About: I am willing to listen to your concerns and focus on what is best for both your lifestyle and your dog's personality. I focus on clear communication, between trainer, owner, and dog. My experience with horse training (natural horsemanship) and vet tech classes give me a better insight on how your dog's mind works. I value real world experience with your dog, this includes training in locations outside of your home to build confidence in known skills.
Sean S.
About: What sets me apart is my focus on long-term success, not just short-term obedience. That’s why I emphasize positive reinforcement, consistency, and repetition, while also taking the time to teach pet parents how to reinforce behaviors when I’m not there. My goal is to build clear communication, trust, and practical routines that make training sustainable in everyday life, helping dogs become confident, well-behaved companions and giving owners the tools they need to continue that progress long after our sessions end.
Samantha S.
About: My level of experience with my types of work experience, my dedication to science-based theories and learning and the mentorship of great trainers and behavioral experts that I have had the pleasure of working under for many years.
Kate B.
“Kate is PHENOMENAL. She was always on time and her communication is impeccable. She has the knowledge and ability to work with any breed and disposition. My puppy was extremely stubborn and would not listen. Now my dog has great recall, fully potty trained, obedient, walks tremendous on a leash, and can also do a dozen or so tricks. She also gave us the knowledge to continue the lessons taught after she finished her session with our dog. I have recommended her to several friends, colleagues, and customers who also rave about how much better their dog is after a few sessions with Kate.”
Loretta C.
“There’s so much to say about Loretta. She’s awesome as a trainer and a person. She trained my dog Winston and he absolutely loved her. He still loves her. She comes to visit him and he gets so excited. She’s become a part of the family. She’s a perfect trainer!!!”
Nichole W.
About: My focus is on giving pet owners the ability to train their dogs from the comfort of their own home through virtual training. Although there are benefits to both in-person and at-home training, for certain dogs the training process goes a lot smoother when there aren't as many outside factors in the picture, as well as owners having the ability to get dog training without the stress of having to work around schedules and times to leave the house. I want to bring the same beneficial training to you right from your home!
Lindsay R.
“I was very impressed with Lindsay’s professional dog training knowledge and her ability to bond with Rusty. She gave me some helpful advice and I am looking forward to her training session.”
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.
