Noah R.
“I’m so grateful for Noah! As I approach 3 months with my rescue it’s astonishing to see the progress we have made! My pup was very vocal and reactive but now is significantly calmer! I love the progress!! Noah responds to my questions and quickly to messages and emails.”
Charles B.
“Charles was extremely helpful!! I have been having some issues potty training my puppy and he gave me some helpful insights and valuable techniques. It was evident that he has a great deal of knowledge with regard to training animals. He was extremely patient with my puppy and I knew she was in good hands. I would highly recommend Charles!!”
Dresden G.
“Just from the consultation alone we have seen a small improvement. My dog was engaging and doing things that she usually struggles with, it was surprising seeing how much she can improve in just an hour. Our dog is a rescue and struggles on many areas, Dresden has been positive and utilizes good strategies and positive reinforcement to ensure that my dog feels comfortable but learns at the same time. I will be rebooking and am looking forward to the progress that will be made!”
Amanda C.
About: I have a lot of experience working with people. I love explaining concepts to new pet owners and helping with more complicated issues as well. My favorite skills to work on are getting dogs comfortable with grooming and veterinary care. If going to either of those places or even just nail trims are a struggle, I am here to help.
Traci O.
About: I chose to earn my dog training certification through GoodPup because it is a reward-based program grounded in the latest research. I believe a calm, clear, consistent and compassionate approach is the most effective way to teach dogs how to behave. Trust not fear is the foundation of any successful relationship with your pet. I’m here to support you with individualized techniques tailored to your goals, while helping you build confidence in how you approach training your dog. With your commitment, we will yield greater peace. I look forward to being your guide and trusted resource.

Emily M.
“We’re so grateful we found Emily! Our pup struggles with anxiety and jumping, and she’s been a total game changer. Her gentle, positive reinforcement techniques helped our dog become noticeably calmer and more confident. Emily took the time to understand our pup’s needs and gave us simple tools to keep progress going at home. The difference especially with guests and door greetings has been incredible. If you want a kind, knowledgeable, and effective trainer, Emily is the best!”
Jazz C.

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.

Desiree H.
About: I enjoy making training fun for both the human and their pets by turning some of the lessons into games while keeping the rate of reinforcement high. I offer virtual lessons as well as private in-home lessons. Each class has a general guideline, but each lesson is customized to meet yours and your pet's learning goals and needs.
Declan G.
“Thank you Declan, for the information, tips how to work with Bruno, suggestions on equipment , I learned a few things from our walk around my neighborhood, I appreciate your knowledge on dog training. See you next time .”
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.”
Robyn s.
“I brought home a rescue who was terrified of everything—loud noises, the leash, even my hands. I called Robyn; our free phone consultation was already a huge help and definitely made me want her in my home. She came to my house and watched him in his own space, spotted the little cues I’d missed, and explained why he was shut down. She showed gentle, reward-based ways to help him feel safe, and we practiced in real moments at home. She was just a text away whenever I had questions. Now he’s opening up, coming to me for comfort, and enjoying our walks.”
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.
