Laurel J.
“Laurel was so helpful with reactivity training. She got to the root of the problem and helped provide research driven recommendations. She understands the dog psychology so well and helps explain it to you as the owner”
Jessie G.
About: I am a calm person with a calm demeanor and dogs need understanding on their level. Training to me is about trying to understand how the owner thinks and how to better help communicate with their pets. Since dogs don't fully speak English, they understand things a bit differently. They understand through tone and body language. I hope to make this barrier between language a bit easier for both parties.
Anne C.
“10 out of 10 Anne was very knowledgeable in all aspects of dog training. She helped me to see clearly on some of the things I was doing with my puppy then followed up the next day. I'd absolutely recommend as a trainer and will be using her in the near future.”
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.”
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!!”
Katy L.
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.
Nicholas G.
About: Here’s a sharp, profile-ready version that highlights your edge: --- **What Sets Me Apart** I don’t just train dogs—I teach owners how to understand them. Instead of quick fixes or one-size-fits-all methods, I focus on the “why” behind behavior so you can make better decisions every day. My approach builds clarity, confidence, and lasting results—so you’re not dependent on a trainer, you’re equipped to lead your dog for life.

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.
