Naomi J.
“Naomi is very patient and knowledgeable with our 13 week old Corgi and provides helpful feedback. We are currently into his second session and he’s made quite a bit of progress (he can give paw, rings the bell for potty time, sits, and stays). I would Definitely recommend Naomi!!”
Rachelle T.
“Rachelle is amazing, taking the time and energy to go the extra mile, being patient all around and ensuring knowledge is retained and built upon, such a rare quality today!”
Jennifer P.
“Jen is one of our dog’s favorite people on earth—that’s really saying something, as he is an extremely shy fellow. Jen has become an indelible part of our dog, Harry’s, life: through stranger ritual training, she helped us understand his cues and comfort level, as well as develop rituals and routines for him to meet in and trust new people on his own terms. Her wisdom, patience, and love for animals shines through in all of her interactions, and we would recommend her to anyone for training to get a better relationship with and understanding of your pet.”
Diana Z.
About: I offer positive reinforcement–based training for puppies and adult dogs, focusing on basic obedience, household manners, socialization, and real-life skills. My goal is to create clear communication between you and your dog using practical exercises you can continue at home.
Vivian T.
“Vivian was very informative and so patient with me and Sage to run it through our consultation. I’ve learned more about Sage during that entire session than I have since I’ve had her and it opened a world of possibilities for me and Sage to explore and grow thanks to her help- would recommend her for trick and clicker training alongside reactivity management as well!”
Hortencia M.
About: I strive to get to the bottom on the problem , what makes your pet different do what they do. A 1 month training program will not fix a whole life of disobedience , anxiety ect. But i can making a firm foundation to grow from is key.
Joanna W.
“We have been working with Joanna for over 7 years; in that time, she has offered gentle, practical solutions for an aging dog, helped us welcome a new dog, and dealt effectively but kindly with fear and aggression. She even helped us welcome our first cat, giving expert advice on integrating her into our existing home. I can confidently say that Joanna is extremely knowledgeable and effective in her methods and has contributed greatly to the quality of life of our family!”

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.
