“Very pleasant experience! Great energy to be around and she took her time and effort to help us find solution for our situation”
Yolenny A.
“Desde la primera cita, Yolenny me transmitió muchísima confianza. Mi cachorrito suele ser un poco miedoso, pero con ella se sintió cómodo casi de inmediato, y eso para mí fue muy importante. Es una persona muy amable, paciente y organizada. Algo que también valoré muchísimo es que habla inglés y español, lo cual hizo la comunicación mucho más fácil. Se nota la calidad y la experiencia en la forma en que trabaja. Además, me dio muy buenas recomendaciones desde la primera cita. La recomiendo totalmente y From the very first appointment, Yolenny made me feel very confident and comfortable. My puppy can be a little shy and fearful, but he felt comfortable with her almost immediately, which meant a lot to me. She is kind, patient, organized, and very professional. Something I really appreciated is that she speaks both English and Spanish which made communication much easier for our family. You can truly see the quality and experience in the way she works. She also gave me great guidance from the very first session. I highly recommend her.”

“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!”

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.”
Margaret M.
“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.”
Ileen G.
“Working with Ileen has completely changed our lives. I used to be afraid to even take Oliver outside—he was anxious and reactive, and I felt lost. But Ileen’s honest, straightforward approach gave both of us the tools and confidence we needed. She goes beyond basic training, offering guidance on diet, behavior, and overall wellness that’s truly transformed how we live with and understand our dog. Oliver is more confident, and so am I. I’m beyond grateful.”
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. ❤️”

Zachary M.
About: Zach brings decades of hands-on experience with dogs, starting with his time as a military policeman working alongside handlers and military working dogs. Those early observations of trust-based, respectful relationships with canines shaped his core philosophy: positive reinforcement is not just kinder—it’s more effective and reliable than outdated punitive methods. He exclusively uses humane, motivational techniques—rewards like treats, praise, play, and tailored motivators—to build confidence and cooperation while fostering deep trust between dog and owner.

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.
