Leah H.
About: I promote the use of bond building methods and avoid any fear based training as this can cause more avoidance behaviors. I am in school to become an Animal Behaviorist specializing in K9’s
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.”
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.”
Agnesa R.
“Agnesa is an amazing trainer! She will be caring and compassionate in her approach to training your dog, and she will teach you all of the skills you need to continue working with your dog at home. She is extremely knowledgeable-she will break down your dogs behaviors and body language to help you understand what your dog is communicating. Agnesa has truly been a lifesaver for my dog Indy and I. I cannot express how thankful I am to work with her as a trainer. She will be an invaluable resource to you and your dog. I highly recommend working with Agnesa.”
Karen H.
“I have two high-drive dogs, a Border Collie and a German Shepherd. I used her services to watch my dogs. Not only did they fall in love with her, but they listened to all her instructions. She showed me the correct way to handle them. I used to worry so much when we went out of town, now I feel very confident when Mrs K is with our pups.”
Brandon M.
“Very informative, patient, understanding of the breed and how to help us handle the issues we are facing.”
Max S.
About: I handle cases- like aggression, reactivity, and biting- that other trainers may not feel comfortable with. I have thousands of hours of hands' on experience, and I'm one of a few internationally-certified dog behavior consultants in the area. I also make it a point to emphasize your comfort alongside the dog's- I know how scary it is to deal with these behaviors. I teach you how to feel calm as much as I teach your dog how to handle scary situations.
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!
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!”
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.”
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!”

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.
