Amy A.
“Amy came today for a session with my energetic 3 months old. She taught Rowdy (and myself) several things to help us with his training. Already scheduled our next session.”
Kerry S.
“Kerry has been instrumental in training my 1yr old hound mix! She is extremely patient and productive during our sessions and is knowledgeable on various aspects of training. She's provided a lot of resources and my dog has made lots of progress in the few sessions we've had.”
Julia A.
“Julia’s been a big help for our anxious dog. I was ready to give her up but now we’re best buddies and I love going on walks and playing with her!”
Alicia B.
“Alicia is amazing. Working with her has been such a great experience for both me and my dogs. She has such a calm, patient energy, which was honestly exactly what we needed. Alicia helped me learn how to slow down, communicate clearly, and actually guide my dogs in a much more confident way. She was incredibly good with my dogs and also very good at teaching me. She explained things in a way that was easy to understand and showed me how to properly handle different situations so I could stay in control and help my dogs succeed. I’m grateful for everything she taught us. I feel so much more confident working with my dogs now. I highly recommend Alicia to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely caring trainer.”

About: Over a decade of hands-on experience combined with national certification as a working dog trainer for odor detection. I’ve trained dogs with real world purpose, not just basic obedience. My approach is high-energy, reward-based, and focused on making training fun for the dog. I don’t just teach commands...I build a bond. I treat every pet like an individual, adapting my style to fit their personality. Whether it’s a high-drive working dog or a family pup, I bring structure, excitement, and results.

“Very attentive and made sure all my questions and concerns were recorded and answered. Definitely recommend her for my pups . 🤩”
Hannah D.
“Harlie has done the training for both of my dogs so far. She is gentle, kind and always willing to listen. She actually sits down and listens to what your wanting and creates a plan that not only works with your pet but she takes into account your schedule and offers payment plans and sessions for all budgets”

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.
