Clare E.
About: Willingness to learn and try new things. Willingness to do the hard jobs others don’t wanna do. If I don’t know something I’m willing to learn and get back to the client as soon as possible.
Sharon K.
“We were so impressed with Sharon’s ability to dial in with Honeysuckle from the moment she walked through the door! After an hour session we feel much more comfortable dealing with our pup’s separation anxiety.”
Anthony V.
“Anthony is a great dog trainer. I’ve watched his passion and skill grow over the last few years to a place of expertise. Anthony has a knowledge and intuition that is unmatched and rare to find. He is always on time and courteous and a joy to be around.”
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!!”
Kaitlyn K.
“Kaitlyn was so helpful during our consultation. She gave us tons of tips and ideas to try with our dogs and really listened to our concerns. We will definitely be booking her again. Highly recommend!”
Frankie S.
“Frankie was the absolute BEST. My (very big) dog began resource guarding and having insecure reactions to people out in public, and everything I read online made me feel panicked and confused about how to handle the situation. Frankie not only gave me confidence to handle the situation at home in a loving way with my pup, but was also so incredibly knowledgeable about dog behavior. I feel I understand my dog better, and she provided me with really good notes after the session that make it easy to implement. Seriously, would give 20 stars if I could.”
Dylan P.
“Dylan was an incredible help in training my dog Chloe! Dylan is a natural with dogs, working on reinforcing the most basic skills, and teaching this (older) dog new tricks! Thanks Dylan for your help and can’t wait to have you come over again!”
Edina J.
“Edina is great to work with, the tools she has provided me with has been so helpful with my dog.”
Olivia T.
“As a certified science-based trainer myself, Olivia is one of the top people I would recommend to work with your dog. She has extensive experience working for world-renowned Every Dog Behavior and Training in previous years, and is truly dedicated to understanding the ins and outs of behavior, body language, reactivity, and so much more. There are countless dogs whose lives, from tiny baby puppyhood and onward, have been deeply positively impacted by Olivia's care and guidance!”
Hailey M.
“Hailey is a great trainer who really knows her stuff! She leads training with empathy and compassion for every dog's situation and takes a customized approach to every case. She trained my dog as a puppy and addressed slight reactivity he was displaying before it could develop into something worse. She provided him with confidence/structure and educated me on how to read my dog's body language. He's now a happy, confident 4 year old who respects other dogs boundaries and can exist happily amongst my friends dogs when we get together. HIGHLY recommend Hailey for all your dog training needs.”
Christina W.
“The session with Christina went really well. Christina was friendly, great at explaining things, patient; and full of knowledge and ideas. She definitely had ideas on how to move forward.”

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!”
Anna M.
“Fantastic trainer, session was super impactful and enjoyable for both the dog and the humans”
Alexis P.
“Alexis has been an absolute game-changer for Moxie. Her expertise in both obedience training and emotional support techniques is truly unmatched. Not only has Moxie learned essential commands and manners, but she’s also built confidence and trust in a way that goes beyond simple training—it’s real communication. Whether you’re working on basic skills, advanced obedience, or emotional support training, Alexis brings patience, insight, and real results. I can’t recommend her highly enough! If you’re considering training for your dog, she’s the one to call.”
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!”
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.
Justus J.
“We have used Justus's services both in person and through online training. She has helped us with everything from acclimating our new puppy to addressing large behavioural issues in our high needs rescue dog. She is communicative, follows up sessions with easy to follow/reference emails, and has made us feel more confident with our dogs, and ensured that we all have a great quality of life together. Highly recommend her services.”
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.”
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!”
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.
“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 .”
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.
