“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!”

Anthony H.
“Anthony is an amazing dog trainer he is so compassionate, kind, and patient. He's very professional , always on time, does wonderful work with the dogs , extremely knowledgeable , sets goals with your dogs and achieves them. I can't say enough good things about Anthony as a wonderful dog trainer. Trust is not something you can buy it's something earned and he has earned my trust as well as all my dogs. You'll be so blessed if he has the opportunity to train your dogs.”
Liana B.
“I was truly worried my anxious pup wouldn't be able to be helped. He used to go potty inside just to avoid the outdoors because he was so fearful! We have been taking it very slow and steady, and under Liana's guidance, my little guy is now wagging his tail and excited to head outside! It's honestly a crazy shift that I didn't think would be possible, but building his confidence has made a huge difference for us :) Am so so SO happy I have gotten to work with Liana :)”

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.
