Carol T.
“Carol is an excellent, expert dog trainer. She truly understands dog behavior, instinct, and body language and is phenomenal at breaking it down to explain to you so YOU can understand your dog better. She helps you learn how to establish yourself as the "pack leader" while also prioritizing safety, professionalism, and a stress free environment. My dogs recall, obedience, and behavior improved drastically after working with Carol. Your dog will be in excellent hands with her and there is no one else I would trust to train my dogs.”
Aubrey F.
“Greatly enjoyed working with Aubrey! She has a clear love for animals of all kinds and did the majority of training with my German Shepherd. I would not hesitate to recommend her for anything regarding animals. She has a big heart for them.”
Shelby H.
“We had a consultation with her and it was a wonderful experience. She is incredibly sweet, patient, and knowledgeable. She took the time to listen to our concerns and offered clear, thoughtful guidance that made us feel confident moving forward. We left the consultation feeling encouraged and well-informed. Highly recommend!”
Rebecca H.
“Rebecca trained my mini Bernadoodle puppy. She is an excellent trainer, and I recommend her every time I hear someone is looking for a trainer. She provides great insight and feedback, and will customize training ideas to fit what works best for the puppy (and/or the owner). She backs her training with solid philosophy, and explains why it will work. She is very kind and wonderful with animals. I would highly recommend her without hesitation.”
Manuela C.
“I’ve known Manuela for 12 years. She’s an amazing dog trainer. She was my mentor and taught me so much. Manuela has an awesome ability to see what most people can’t see with their dogs and her positive reinforcement training skills are on the money. She cares about you and your fur kids. I absolutely recommend her for your trainer. You won’t be disappointed.”

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.
