Dominique L.
“We are working with Dominque to train our sweet (but stubborn Golden). Dominque had him walking better on a leash within the first block! He is very knowledgeable, confident, and reassuring. I would highly recommend him as a dog trainer!”
Aaron & Paweena J.
“Aaron was so lovely with our new puppy and I feel confident we will make great progress in training!”
Monica H.
“Monica is a knowledgeable and kind trainer. She took the time to get to know Ollie and his needs and crafted a plan accordingly. She’s also incredibly reliable and communicative which is always a plus. Would highly recommend her!”
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.”
Skylar S.
“Exactly what we needed for our doberman, he’s great, kind, and so informed! Can’t wait to relay on him for training support with our pup!”
Erica & Kyle M.
“Erica was so helpful with our new pup!”
Veronica B.
“We have had 3 sessions with Veronica so far and have found them engaging, informational, and actionable. Our dog Milo is anxious and reactive to sounds, and she has suggested some changes and techniques that have already helped. We look forward to continuing to work with Veronica!”
Albert L.
“Albert really knows what he’s doing with dogs. He’s patient, consistent, and has a natural way of figuring out what each one needs. His corgi Eden is a great example. She’s well trained, calm, and gets along with other pets, even cats. Whether you’ve got a puppy starting out or an older dog with some bad habits, Albert is the guy I’d trust for the job.”
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!”
Justinian C. W.
“Justinian was great in listening to all our concerns and addressing them appropriately. Would definitely recommend.”
Cynthia B.
About: I work with both dogs and cats, combining training, holistic wellbeing, cognitive enrichment, and relaxation support to help pets and their people thrive. I help families better understand body language and behavior, while recognizing individual needs, offering choices, and supporting agency. My goal is to build confidence, trust, and stronger relationships through practical, compassionate guidance.
Jess F.
“Very knowledgeable, helped fill in the gaps of what I needed to help train my puppy. Prompt and very helpful.”
Laura S.
“Laura is great, patient, and knowledgeable. Our dog immediately reacted positively to her training. Highly recommend!”
Jaclyn S.
“I have always had a very pleasant experience working with Jaclyn. She helped me set my puppy up for success in our home and family.”
Jose I.
“Jose demonstrates a genuinely love of not just training dogs, but helping his clients understand their pets. He is very professional and puts a lot of care into working with the dogs and is very responsive to client needs. He puts together training programs that work towards achieving the clients goal, whether its protect or just basic obedience. He is very friendly, honest, and super easy to work with. Clients can expect to walk away with great results and feel empowered going forward.”
MIRAN K.
“I highly recommend Miran K. as a dog trainer. She has helped train our German Shepherd puppy and has also boarded him for 12 days. She has provided instruction on basic commands, and helped with behavior issues such as pulling on the leash and nipping. She has been enormously helpful to us and has gone out of her way to help us and our puppy. She is very knowledgeable about dog breeds and good training practices. She makes a point to use positive reinforcement. She’s super friendly and is always willing to help any time. I highly recommend her for your dog training and boarding needs.”
Emily B.
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!
Imani O.
About: I do not discriminate against any breed, or aggressive dogs. I have had ten years of experience working with dogs and spent two of them shadowing other trainers and learning what techniques work for me and what does not.
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!”
Brad P.
“Brad is a wonderful trainer. He is very patient, both with my pup and me! I am so thankful to his help with leash behavior, addressing issues of separation anxiety and integration of our dog into our multi-cat household. He is very responsive and answers questions thoughtfully. He is a gem!”
Dolores M.
“I started working with Dolores Murray in 2021. When my dog was 11 weeks old we started to have weekly lessons. Dolores gave me and my dog different assignments to work on each week. My dog is now almost 4 years old. Dolores encouraged me to have my dog take the American Kennel Club “Canine Good Citizen” test. My dog passed all parts on the first try. I could not recommend Dolores Murray more highly. She can teach you how to train your dog but you have to follow through with the training every day. Today, I could not dream of having a better dog.”
Taylor H.
“Taylor has an excellent rapport with my dog. He took to her immediately and every training session we’ve learned at least two new things that stay with him after she’s gone.”
Thomas B.
“Tommy has been a Godsend to me. I thought that maybe I was just too old to have a young dog, but he showed me how to work with Gunnar in the simplest way that has totally changed our lives. The difference in our walks is nothing short of amazing, but the impact is felt in the home too. He is always available for questions and support, and I love watching his videos for reminders, tips and tricks. I would and do recommend training with Tommy to everyone. My daughter-in-law took his classes and was equally thrilled. Most importantly, Gunnar loves and trust Tommy too!”
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.”
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!”
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.
