Wonderful first encounter, we learned so much in just one visit. Our GSD responded very well. We have hope Yolanda’s training will be a successful experience for our family.

Brooklyn is fantastic. He taught our dog "leave it" in like 10 minutes. He's really good at understanding our puppy, and also being patient with us as we learn how to rain the pup. I wasn't sure about finding a trainer on Rover, but Brooklyn is great and I'd definitely recommend him.

Zori is a very professional and caring dog trainer. She put together great plans for our dog and set us up for success with him. Now he doesn’t jump when greeting, he sits patiently before feeding, and is walking without pulling.

Tess is very organized trainer . The first session demonstrated immediate results and was left with a pamphlet of explanations and exercise. Well done. Buffy will be much better because this training protocol is so well orchestrated

Myranda taught us some foundational habits and helped us understand Levi's motivations, which we will be able to build upon. She had a great rapport with Levi and she obviously loves training. Great job!

Cadence has worked with dogs for many many years. And she trained our blue healer when she was a puppy. She used positive reinforcement. She crate trained our dog, as well as leash training as well as recall and off leash training. She also taught our dog all of her basic obedience. She also taught her a few bonus tricks.

I’ve had the pleasure of observing Kyla training dogs on many occasions, whether it be a working dog doing explosives detection training, protection work, narcotics detection or training her own personal pets for basic obedience and commands. Kyla is consistent, innovative and firm, all while demonstrating patience, playfulness and a great desire for each animal to succeed in training. She has a vast knowledge of animal behaviors and body language which has aided her in being such a successful handler and trainer.

Rosa is an excellent trainer. She is passionate about dogs and not afraid to get down on the floor with them. At our very first training session she introduced foundational learning methods which, as she promised, made subsequent learning faster and easier (think of learning the alphabet before learning to read.) She listened carefully to my training priorities and always proceeded with those in mind. She consistently explained to me the how's and why's of what she was doing. She taught me basic principles of canine behavior. She taught me how to continue to train my dog. Rosa is dedicated to positive reinforcement techniques. She never got angry or lost patience with my rescue pup why, like most rescues, has "issues." Rosa always arrived on time. She is personable and very pleasant to work with. Perhaps most importantly, my dog LOVES Rosa.

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.
