“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.
“Amazing dog trainer! She has literally changed our lives. My puppy is learning a lot, and through this process has become calmer. It’s been absolutely wonderful. Ludmila is kind, patient, and an excellent trainer. I highly recommend her.”
Rebecca L.
“We had a fantastic experience with Becca. She uses positive reinforcement methods that were good for the dog and me.Becca is incredibly patient and clearly explains each step of the training process. Can’t wait to see what the next session brings.”
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”
Julian F.
“Storm had another great session with Julian! He worked on leash reactivity at a busy park and blocking out distractions. Storm was doing great by the end of the training!”

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!)
Alina B.
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.
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.
Gabriella A.
“I can't say enough about Gabriella! She has worked with our dog on many levels, both training and sitting. Gabi is CCPDT (Certification Council of Professional Dog Trainers) certified which is a science based, humane approach to training-which is the only thing we would consider for our "big guy!" The thing we learned from Gabi is that she is training US to love and work with our dog. Gabi is patient, she is watchful and mindful of our interactions with our dog and she explains the reasoning for her approach. Gabi is personable, responsible, on time, and on top of it! Grab her while you can!”
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.
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!!”
Theresa S.
“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 !!!!!”
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.
Obadina T.
“He gave some sound advice. I trusted his wisdom!”
James A.
About: I've been around dogs since I was born and had a hand in teaching them since I was young. I need them in my life as they have always been there with me showing how wonderful they are and how much joy they bring to peoples lives.

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.
