Laurel J.
“We loved Laurel and more importantly so did our 10 weeks old Frenchie. Lots of super helpful advice specific to our needs and left us feeling like we could be on top of the training we need to do as well. Highly recommend”

“Koni is awesome! My little chiweenie loves classes with him, and it's really help him remember his foundation obedience and helped with his anxiety by tiring his brain out!”
Valerie D.
“Valerie was so point on with Guthrie. He needed a gentle understanding, not just for him, but for myself and she handled it so well. Valerie was calm dealing with Guthrie and my anxiety;) I totally understand some of the needs Guthrie needs me to work on or change.”

“Exceptional training if I could give 20 stars I would my dog came home a completely new dog from reactive acting wild in public to being very calm and well mannered her obedience is amazing on and off leash I could not thank Theresa enough for all her help and she continues to help if ever needed !!!!!”
Gabriella A.
“Gabi is a smart, kind, hard-working dog trainer. I met her at a conference on how to train aggressive dogs, which says she's invested in not only training your dog today, but learning how to do it better for tomorrow. Gabi knows her stuff, is reliable, and has a great way with animals. She's also got a big heart and will invest in you and your pet's success if you invest in her!”
Shane G.
“Shane was amazing with my very large, over-exuberant 5 year-old dog. I would highly recommend him for any type of training, any age dog. Plus Harley loved him!!”

About: Having personal and professional experience with dogs from all backgrounds and living situations, I am able to offer individualized training plans rather than a one size fits all approach.
Obadina T.
About: What sets me apart from other trainers is my self teaching through discovery training style. It allows the dog to learn at their own pace and it makes behaviors more reliable when they feel as if they have figured out what brought them success. I am currently a detection dog handler so I have to train my dog daily in order to save lives, so training is second nature to me as it is my profession.

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.
