Charles B.
“Charles has provided lots of great ideas for addressing our pups behavior and we are already seeing improvement after two sessions. I appreciate that his corrections come from a place of kindness and he is always thinking about the best interest of the dog.”
Sarah V.
“We highly recommend Sarah V. in asmuch as she worked patiently and diligently training our late dog Midnight. Midnight was a rescue dog that had been mistreated and dropped off at an animal shelter. He was a large dog (~100lb lab/dane mix). He was wild and hyper. After training we enjoyed taking walks with him, even to local farmers markets where he was always on his best behavior. Midnight progressed so well that he participated in several dog shows and was awarded with successful performance ribbons. Kudos to Sarah for her professionalism!”
Noah R.
“The training with Noah went very well and opened our eyes to how much work is needed to help our little guy get socialized with other dogs. We made great progress working with our daughter’s dog.”
Dresden G.
“Dresden is an amazing instructor! He is so patient and never gives up! Theo loves Dresden and that says a lot about the connection they have built in just short of four training sessions.”
Emily M.
“Emily is a great dog trainer and we had a positive experience with her and lolli loved her. We worked on polite greetings in the home. With help from Emily she was able to stay calm in greeting situations, especially inside the house. We worked with Emily during one on one sessions as well as following through with provided homework to encourage appropriate behavior. Emily also helped us better manager her excited greetings by coming up with an exercise routine as well as enrichment. Lolli and I loved getting to work with Emily and it is fun seeing your dog succeed in training!”
Anthony V.
“I can’t recommend my dog trainer enough. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and truly cares about both the dog and the owner. He took the time to understand my dog and gave me the tools and confidence to handle situations that once felt overwhelming. The progress has been amazing, and the bond with my dog is stronger than ever. If you want real results and someone you can trust, he’s the one.”

“Edina is great to work with, the tools she has provided me with has been so helpful with my dog.”
Ellie C.
About: Most of my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, or emotionally drained by their dog’s behavior. I don’t just teach commands. I teach owners how to understand their dog and respond strategically.
Jazz C.
“Interesting point of view on training. I am trying to put his suggestions into practice to see if it helps Jasmine is pretty well trained except when she gets over excited.”
Thomas M.
“Thomas quickly grasped Philbis state of fear and gave us train8ng on how to give him more confidence in himself and trust in us. He shared his knowledge with us, now I will do my best to help our little boy. Thank you Thomas.”
Shir L.
“Shir is an absolutely incredible dog trainer, and working with her is life-changing! She truly cares about the whole family, not only your dog but also the humans. We started with Shir when our dog was a 7-month-old puppy and have completed dozens of sessions over the last three years. At the beginning, Shir helped us prioritize and work through challenges. We've applied her teachings to many scenarios throughout Nova's life. She's available via text between sessions, which helps SO much. With her help, Nova is a confident, well-mannered, almost 5-year-old. Thank you Another Chance Training!”
Stephanie C.
“Stephanie is an exceptional trainer who brought a wealth of knowledge and experience to our session. She is incredibly supportive and understanding, especially when it comes to our concerns about our 10-month-old dog. Her straightforward approach and easy to implement methods make her an excellent resource for both our puppy and us. Stephanie teaches us and our dog by example, providing clear and actionable instructions. We are confident that working with her will help us support our puppy and family, resulting in a well-adjusted dog that becomes the best family member we could ever ask for.”
Sidney W.
“Sidney was incredible with our cat, Benji. She met with us beforehand and was thoughtful, attentive, and genuinely caring. While we were away, she sent daily check-ins with photos that gave us total peace of mind. Benji needs medication, and Sidney handled it with great care and attention to detail. She was punctual, reliable, and communicative throughout. (We never had to worry for a moment). Sidney is someone we trust completely and would recommend without hesitation. Her professionalism and kindness made the difference for us.”
Declan G.
“Declan was knowledgeable, thorough, and kind. He made sure we understood everything and took the time to explain details clearly. I would definitely recommend!”
Robyn s.
“Robyn was very knowledgeable, answered a bunch of questions and guided us on this confusing behavior. It completely changed the way we handle guests. We’ve noticed our dog slowly building confidence and settling quicker and quicker each time someone comes over. Highly recommended Robyn for simple and complicated issues you are having with your dog.”
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.
