Sindri was amazing and did a fantastic job showing us how to work with our Labrador Puppy and teaching her fundamentals and a few tricks as well. Id highly recommend Sindri.

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!

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.

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 :)

Anthony was great! I needed training for my dog to correct territorial behavior toward people in the home, and there was a noticeable improvement after just one visit. He came prepared with multiple techniques, explained the reasoning behind them, and made sure I understood how to apply the corrections consistently on my own. He was patient, knowledgeable, and took the time to answer all of my questions. I left feeling confident and equipped to continue the training, and I’m already seeing positive changes.

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.

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.
