Tiffany S.
“Sydney keeps improving every week and has retained all of her learning, she has been known to test me, however, which Yiffany says is part of being a “teenager”. Well I am very relieved to know that is the case and not a development of stubbornness.”
Katelyn B.
“Summit and I learned so much from Katelyn! She gave lots of great individualized training and product recommendations that are going to be so useful during crate training and helping Summit overcome his separation anxiety. We can’t wait to work with her again soon!”
Fawn H.
“We had an incredible experience with Fawn—honestly, it felt like a miracle worker walked through our door! We have five small dogs, including our 6-month-old puppy, Pixie, and after just one visit, we saw an immediate difference. Even before the appointment, Fawn was responsive and thoughtful, helping us evaluate what Pixie needed. During the visit, she didn’t just train the dogs—she taught *us* how to work with them, which made all the difference. Our dogs responded right away, and she left us with clear, manageable “homework” to keep building on that progress until our next session. What really stands out is her holistic approach. She took the time to understand our entire pack dynamic as well as Pixie’s unique personality. Her methods are rooted in kindness, a dog's desire to please. She worked with each dog’s mental aptitude, which we deeply appreciate. It’s so refreshing compared to fear-based techniques—and best of all, it truly works. We originally hired Faw just for Pixie, but now we’re excited to continue working with her for all of our dogs. This has been a total game changer, and surprisingly simple to follow. We can’t recommend her highly enough!”
Teresa H.
“Teresa was absolutely amazing. I have never owned a puppy on my own before and had no clue where to even start and she immediately gave me a foundation to start working on for my puppy. She is so understanding of my schedule and the demands of my job and she was so nice in helping me understand how to get started and showing me what I can do better! Also, my pup loved her to bits! I am absolutely booking more training sessions with her and I’m excited to work with her further!”
Nicholas M.
“Niko was awesome! Super knowledgeable, has the patience to teach not only the dog but myself as the owner. Always made sure we were comfortable with what we just learned before moving on to the next thing. Would highly recommend!”
Tori B.
“Excellent session! Knowledgable for how to work with a new pup. Highly recommend!”
Jaquan F.
“Jaquan F. is an amazing dog trainer. He has expertise in this field, he is patient with the dogs, he is a dog lover, he is very knowledgable and caring. I definitely recommend him for all of your dog training needs.”
Carly C.
“I highly recommend Carly as a dog trainer. Having worked with her for some time now, I can confidently say she is a compassionate, patient, and responsible individual who truly loves working with dogs. She is committed to ensuring each dog receives the care and attention they need, tailoring her training methods to suit each dog’s personality and learning style. Carly is extremely reliable and organized. She consistently shows up on time, and keeps detailed records of progress. If you're looking for a caring and skilled dog trainer, Carly is the perfect fit.”
Phoenix & Rita D.
“We adopted Coco, a loving dog who struggled with severe leash reactivity and separation anxiety. Walks were chaotic, and leaving her alone felt impossible. We were unsure how to help her until we found Phoenix and Rita. From the very first session, they showed so much patience and care, tailoring each exercise to Coco’s unique needs. With their guidance, Coco became calmer on walks and more at ease when we weren’t home. Phoenix and Rita truly changed our lives, and we’re incredibly thankful for the progress Coco has made thanks to their compassionate approach.”

Lilli S.
“Lilli is one of the best dog trainers I have ever hired. She has an incredible understanding of canine behavior and creates training plans tailored to each dog’s needs.

Bobby H.
“The session was an hour long. Focused on the behaviors we wanted to work on with our dog. Bobby communicates well with owner and dog while working, explaining techniques. His methods are very positive and our dog responded well to the session. We've continued to work with Bobby and are pleased with results.”
Kathalene M.
“Kathalene is AMAZING with dogs and their behavior. She has worked with some of my fosters that have extreme behaviors and the difference is night and day! I have worked with a lot of trainers in NC and Kathalene is the only one I trust to work with my behavior pups. I highly recommend her for all training needs!! She is a miracle worker and has saved so many dogs from euthanasia.”
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.
