Lisa was absolutely incredible. With an older dog I was definitely nervous that she was going to be “stuck in her ways” and that there was no hope, but Lisa did an excellent job reassuring me that she’s not a lost case. Lisa was also incredibly thorough in letting me know why she was doing what she was and really made me feel comfortable in next steps. Cant wait to see what progress we make !!

Amy has provided invaluable assistance in potty training my five year old dog. She did a board and train with him and taught me how to continue his training. He's doing great!!

Devin is an absolutely amazing dog trainer! she truly cares about all of her clients. I have two beagles mixes who would be completely different dogs without Devin. We tried all different types of training but have had such fantastic success with Devin and the positive reinforcement she teaches. Both of my dogs struggle with reactivity and with consistent sessions with Devin, both myself and my dogs have improved so much. Devin is consistent, caring, understanding and extremely knowledgeable in this field. I recommend her to everyone!

We can’t say enough great things about Jennifer! Not only has she been an incredible trainer for our dogs, Davinci and Charlotte, but she also provides a loving and safe daycare environment. Her patience, expertise, and genuine love for animals shine through in everything she does. Thanks to her, our dogs have improved so much in their behavior, and they absolutely love spending time at daycare. It gives us such peace of mind knowing they are in the best hands. We highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for top-notch dog training!

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.
