“Laurel is so patient kind and knows her stuff. She wasn’t intimidated with my pit dobe mix. She share so much great information with me and helped me feel much better about my situation. I’m excited for more sessions.”
Ludmila A.
“So knowledgeable. Our puppy did amazing with her. She is very patient and to the point. She understands dog behavior and has helped me train my dog.”
Valerie D.
“I cannot say enough kind things about Val. She has one of the calmest demeanors of anyone I have ever met. She showed up prepared with research and a printed plan. She took notes and did great with my anxious puppy. I was very overwhelmed with my puppy’s behavior until Val came over. Now I not only see progress, but I have hope”

“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!”
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!”

About: My method is called "Believe and Bond." I also specialize in training shelter dogs. Many trainers fix problems, but I build relationships. My approach isn't about commands but about understanding your dog's perspective and building a partnership rooted in trust. My method empowers you to become your dog's most trusted guide. This positive, reward-based approach makes training a fun, joyful experience for both of you. It's not just about a dog learning to obey, it's about you and your dog learning to communicate, trust, and love each other. It's about creating a bond for life with your dog.
Kaitlyn G.
“Kaitlyn is an outstanding dog trainer who has transformed my experience with my pets. I started working with her when my first Rottweiler was just 8 weeks old, and I’ve continued ever since. Her expertise has helped me understand my dog's behaviors. We're currently working on making my Rottweiler more comfortable around unfamiliar people, and I've recently brought home a new Rottweiler that she's training. Her guidance has been invaluable over the past two years, and I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a dedicated trainer.”

About: My background is in Communication and Psychology. Throughout my dog training experience, I've seen the foundations of human psychology overlaps to dog behavior and I use that skill in teaching each Team (that's you and your pup!)
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.
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.
