Olga R.
“I can’t say enough amazing things about this dog training experience! From the very first session, it was clear that Olga is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also genuinely passionate about helping dogs and their owners succeed. She took the time to understand our dog’s personality and tailored the training to fit our specific needs, which made such a huge difference. Her training methods are positive, effective, and easy to follow at home. Every session was well-structured, encouraging, and even fun! She is patient, supportive, and always willing to answer questions, no matter how small. If you’re looking for a dog trainer who truly cares and delivers real results, I highly recommend Olga.”
Lindsay F.
“Lindsay is an extremely professional, passionate and knowledgeable trainer. She was very patient and caring with snowball. I felt very comfortable and I am looking forward to next steps towards snowballs training.”
Kimberly R.
About: What sets me apart is my focus on both the dog and the owner. Training isn’t just about teaching commands, it’s about helping pet parents understand their dog’s behavior and communication. I take the time to explain the “why” behind each exercise so owners feel confident continuing the training between sessions. My approach is patient, positive, and tailored to each dog’s individual needs. I also bring experience in pet care, dog walking, and daily routines, which allows me to support families with well rounded care and training
Kathleen M.
“We're just getting started to correct separation anxiety with my 1-year-old puppy. Kathleen has been thorough and easy to work with. I feel confident we can overcome her anxiety by working together.”
Krista J.
About: I have over 7 years of experience working with well recognized service dog organizations that extended my ability to continue my education through conferences, webinars and hands on situations that give me more knowledge on the world of training.
Sheryl M.
“Sheryl is way more than just a dog sitter; she is a true animal advocate and a gifted trainer. I've had the pleasure of knowing her for several years, not only as a friend but also as a mentor in the world of dog care. Her deep understanding of a dog's behavior is equal to her love for every dog she meets. It was a joke between us that lost dogs had a special sense, knowing instinctively that Sheryl's front porch was a place of safety. I can recommend Sheryl without any hesitation. Anyone who entrusts their pet to her is leaving them in the most capable and caring hands imaginable.”
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.”
FAQs
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.
