Megan N.
“Megan is an excellent dog trainer. She helped my senior rescue dog go from highly reactive (barking at other dogs and destroying furniture) to calm and well-trained using structured support and training. She has a talent for making the training process logical and straightforward, and brings sincere energy and enthusiasm to her work. I highly recommend Megan for addressing difficult behaviors and fine-tuning training. Her work definitely brought down stress levels for both me and my dog.”
Breanna I.
“Breanna was great! She gave us a lot of helpful information. And was great with our dog.”
Robert C.
“Robert was friendly, engaging, and very knowledgeable. I was amazed how he was able to redirect my dog's behaviors in such a short amount of time. After he left, I was able to demonstrate these same techniques on my own and my dogs did so well. I'm incredibly grateful to find Robert, you can tell the minute he walks into your home that he has so much love for dogs. Thank you for your time and knowledge! Would recommend to any and everyone.”
Kelsey S.
“Kelsey is an awesome trainer! She wad extremely patient with our nervous pup. She gave us all the tools we needed to reinforce the training given each week. Our dog was so much more calm and relaxed after her training sessions were done. You won't regret hiring Kelsey to help your puppy and family!”
Barbara G.
“Barbara is so friendly, knowledgable and patient! I felt SO comfortable and she clearly knows her stuff. Cash (my pup) and I cannot wait to keep training with her!”

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.
