Sharie J.
“We are first time dog owners and were blown away by Sharie’s knowledge and professionalism! The way she adapted to our puppy’s individual behavior and needs in the moment was amazing and we really feel supported as we learn to communicate with her and teach her manners and boundaries.”
Greta S.
“Incredible experience!! I have a 5.5 month old puppy and this session was a game changer. We practiced in a local park with all of her triggers so it was perfect. Already have my next session booked!”
Shama P.
“Shama was incredibly knowledgeable and patient with my very vocal and excitable cockapoo. Only one session in so far but I can see she’ll be able to work wonders with him.”
Alexa R.
“From the start, Alexa took the time to understand my dogs personality and tailored her training approach to fit his needs. Her methods are both effective and compassionate, and you can tell she truly cares about the dogs she works with. Pyro responded so well to her, and I felt confident throughout the entire process thanks to her clear communication and professionalism. I highly recommend Alexa to anyone looking for a dedicated and reliable dog trainer, she truly goes above and beyond.”

Joan Marie R.
“Finding Joan Marie has been a blessing in mine & Lincoln’s life. Lincoln is a large, reactive Doberman who I was so worried about trusting to any dog walker. Joan is experienced with very large, unruly dogs. She has only added to his training and good behavior. I cannot say enough good things about her dog knowledge and her ease handling all dogs. Lincoln loves her & I know she loves him as well. ❤️”

“We brought in Maggie after struggling for months with two dogs who couldn't seem to get along. Maggie gave us pracitcal tools and clear guidance not just for the dogs but for us as the owners. The transformation was nothing short of incredible. Maggie's training has given us invaluable peace in our home. We are so grateful for Maggie's patience, knowledge, and dedication to our family.”

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.
