“Nikki was a dream to work with! My mini Aussie was having some trouble with socialization that I was struggling to break through but just with a few sessions with Nikki he has really started to come out of his shell! Nikki gave me so many helpful tips and explained things in a way that was extremely easy to understand. If you’re struggling with your pup I would definitely recommend giving Nikki a call!”

Alyssa "Sindri" H.
“Sindri worked with my puppy and kindly offered to help my 10-year-old dog, Mr. Pants, who was rescued from a hoarding situation and has long struggled with food reactivity. I had worked with him extensively when he was younger and assumed his trauma limited what he could learn, but she proved me wrong. He now calmly waits for food at a distance, no longer whines during meals or before snack time, and is noticeably more relaxed and playful. Sindri made a difference I truly didn’t think was possible.”
Suzanne C.
About: I have had such a rich and varied career working with animals. Some highlights are (as a Licenced Vet Tech) being the Manager of the Adoption program at the Greater Miami Humane Society, managing an Animal Hospital, working at a Wildlife rescue facility, being the head Tech at the San Antonio Zoo in TX, and the many years of Dog Training. I offer private lessons, where I come to your home, and your dog is in a familiar territory.
Liana B.
“Highly recommend Liana- my dog was pretty crazy on a leash, and after only two virtual sessions, he is heeling consistently and will keep heeling if I take him off leash. Liana is knowledgeable, professional and super efficient.”
maudlin h.
“Had our initial training session with Maudlin and Chewie learned so much already. Maudlin was very knowledgeable, patient, and made the entire experience enjoyable for both of us. You can tell she truly cares and knows what she’s doing. Definitely recommend Maudlin to anyone looking for a great trainer. Chewie and I are already looking forward to the next session!”
Lindsay D.
“I met virtually with Lindsay to get some initial guidance as I think through the timeline, process, and overall plan for puppy training. She was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and very detailed in how she walked through what to expect and how to prepare. I left the conversation feeling much more confident and informed. I’m looking forward to reconnecting with her when my puppy reaches training age.”
Victoria k.
“Really enjoyed our first session with Victoria. She’s super knowledgeable, gave personalized advice, and shared a lot of helpful insight. She took the time to understand my dog and explain the “why” behind everything, which I really appreciated. You can tell she has a ton of experience and truly knows what she’s doing.”

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.
