Jasmine W.
“This is our second session we have had with Jasmine with our two border Collies. Working with her is such a treat! She is so calm and patient with the dogs and with us. She has given us some good tools to continue to work on at home and does not over stress the dogs with too much information at one session. We are very grateful that we have found her and are excited to continue to work with her. She is very reliable and has been on time each time and responds quickly to inquiries.”

“Good meeting with a definite plan of action going forward. Value: Jana is knowledgeable with fast experience that comes through in her advice and training scheduling. We felt our time together was well spent and well worth the investment in Bella.”
Shelby B.
“Shelby is dedicated and enthusiastic in her dog training. She builds trust with each individual dog and shows patience even when their progress is slow. She is very consistent with their training. Most important in her training methods is her show of love to the dogs.”
Barbara M.
About: I have the love and patience for growth and learning that not many people have. Teaching a new behavior to an animal is one of the most exciting and gratifying experiences in life and I treasure every moment.
Pepper B.
About: I tailor my training to each dog and owner, focusing on building a strong relationship through clear communication and trust. My balanced approach ensures training is both effective and humane, using positive reinforcement while providing structure and guidance when needed. Beyond teaching obedience, I help owners understand their dog’s behavior and body language, giving them the tools to create a well-behaved companion and a lifelong bond.
Melissa K.
“Over the years, Melissa has been my go-to resource for my now thirteen-year-old Australian Cattle Dog mix, Leroy. From nose-work classes to helping us adjust to life in a new neighborhood, she’s consistently offered realistic, sustainable guidance that helps me understand and meet Leroy’s needs.”

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.
