“Extremely helpful through the training process. Gave me useful solutions during our session that completely corrected our dog’s behavior. Highly recommended and I will 100% be coming back for any future training that is needed.”
Michelle C.
“Michelle was terrific - she explained the training procedures in detail and provided paperwork for continued reference - will definitely use again”
Julian W.
“Very helpful and personable. Easy to talk to and learn from. Would definitely recommend!”
Maria B.
“Maria B was exceptionally great! Great knowledge of training. PLUS she changed our mentality about Training. “ Catch Boaz doing the Behavior; Click & Reward “ it’s just working super well with Boaz. PLUS it has taken most of the training stress out of training Boaz. For us it’s been a GAME CHANGER. Maria B is really good! HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER. She is respectful, kind, patient & very insightful. She is worth bringing in!!! John & Karen Arana”
Deborah M.
“We have used Deb as a pet sitter and dog trainer for years! She has taught our difficult-to-train dog so many commands and we love coming home after a trip to a better trained dog. Her method works and she's patient, kind and knowledgeable in her craft. Couldn't recommend her more!”
Tyler W.
“Tyler did a great job with Kash. He's a mastiff-mix that I got from my mother, and he came with some bad habits, but he's doing quite a lot better.”
Skylar V.
“Skyler was my dog trainer for my boy Roger and she was amazing! She knows so much about dogs. I would definitely recommend her again!”
Kristie V.
“Kristie is one of a kind. Her deep expertise is matched by an incredible passion for animals. Calm, patient, and intuitive, she ensures every interaction is rooted in kindness and respect. Kristie tailors her approach to each dog’s unique personality and answers every question with thoughtful, heart-led skill. We saw positive results quickly, but her impact goes beyond that—she teaches humans how to build deeper, more respectful relationships with their pets. Her dedication shines through in everything she does; she’s a true expert with a huge heart.”

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.
