Jesus R.
“Jesus is incredible! He had my Corgi, Piper, back on track to good behavior after only 20 minutes! I couldn’t recommend him enough, and I have already rebooked him for more sessions! Highly recommend him. He is truly the dog whisperer! Thank you, Jesus!”
Albert L.
“Albert is a first class trainer whose work is exemplified by all the amazing progress he's made with his own dog, Eden! He excels in teaching calmness and recall during high-stress situations and tricks alike. A pet under Albert's tutelage is in good hands indeed!”
Amanda F.
“Amanda provided exceptional assistance, patiently addressing all of our inquiries. She dedicated time to establishing a rapport with my Shih Tzu, earning his trust.”
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!”
Skylar S.
“Skylar did a consult since we are first time dog owners of a 13 week old puppy. He did an assessment of our home set up and dynamics. He provided us with very practical advice and handled our crazy little monster exceptionally since she is at that puppy stage where nipping and bitting is high.”
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).”
Kayla P.
“Very helpful!”
Jess F.
“Very knowledgeable, helped fill in the gaps of what I needed to help train my puppy. Prompt and very helpful.”
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.”
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.”
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!
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!”
Tyera S.
“Easy to work with. Explains very well training methods. Dog loved her”
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!”
Katherine B.
“I met Kate when my puppy, Pippin was just 13 weeks old. I can't tell you how lucky both Pippin and I were! Kate's approach - partnership between person and dog, attentiveness to one another - builds great friendships while also teaching great skills. Pippin has learned all I've asked of him, and with no stress. His whole body wags when he sees "Auntie Kate" every week!”
Laura S.
“Laura is great, patient, and knowledgeable. Our dog immediately reacted positively to her training. Highly recommend!”
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.”
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!”
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.”
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.
