Aleyah M.
About: I personally trained my dog myself. Through a lot of trial and error, this has become of passion of mine. I love helping others train theirs. I also find myself learning from others when offering tips or advice to help me with my own.
Amanda F.
“Sad that today was the last session. She has gotten our unruly shelter dog to behave much better and said she'd be available for more training and/or responding to questions (as long as it's not a truck load of questions). I highly recommend her and if the need arises, will certainly try to retain her again.”
Jesus R.
“We can’t say enough good things about our experience with Jesus and JR Doberman Crew! From day one, he has been incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and supportive—not just with our dog, but with us as owners, too. His training methods are effective, compassionate, and tailored to fit our dog’s unique personality and needs. Thanks to his guidance, we’ve seen real progress in behavior, confidence, and overall happiness. It’s been such a relief to work with someone who truly understands dogs and communicates so clearly. We’re so grateful to have found Jesus —highly recommend to anyone looking to build a stronger bond with their pup!”
Mickey S.
“We’ve only been with Mickey for a short time but his provided training has been great and we are looking forward to the working relationship with our dog (and us lol).”
Skylar S.
“Skylar was great. Took Coco out and not only explained what to do but showed me what to do to minimize Coco’s reactivity when in walks. Not for the hard part, implementing what I’ve learned. Will definitely rebook as needed.”

About: I work with both dogs and cats, combining training, holistic wellbeing, cognitive enrichment, and relaxation support to help pets and their people thrive.

About: I consider environmental factors and enrichment-focused solutions to help training last! I also specialize in solutions for busy people who need solutions that work for them!
Kirk P.
“Kirk was attentive, had great communication, and was professional. I highly recommend him if you are looking for a good dog trainer. I can see the difference in the walk already and I really needed a change of experience with the doggo. Thanks Kirk!”
Laura S.
“Laura is great, patient, and knowledgeable. Our dog immediately reacted positively to her training. Highly recommend!”
Lei B.
“Lei communicated really well with us and showed a great amount of professionalism and knowledge during our session. Her training plan was tailored for our needs and she took her time to listen to our goals. We will continue to use her services!”

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.
