Brooklyn K.
“There was a bit of a mix-up on the time for the consultation call but once we talked to Brooklyn we are excited to be working with him in the future. He was able to answer a lot of our initial questions.”
Yolanda B.
“We couldn’t be happier with Yolanda’s training! In just a couple of sessions, we saw fast, positive changes in both of our German Shepherds. Her approach is clear, effective, and tailored to each dog’s needs, which made a huge difference right away. What really sets Yolanda apart is that she doesn’t just focus on behavior—she works on state of mind, helping both us and our dogs build a calm, balanced, and healthy dynamic. She gave my boyfriend and me practical tools that actually work, and we feel more confident handling our dogs every day. If you’re looking for real results and a happier, healthier lifestyle with your dogs, Yolanda is absolutely the one to call.”
Zornitsa P.
“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.”
Haylee D.
“Haylee was amazing with our highly anxious and reactive Pit/cattle dog mix. Ponyo immediately trusted Haylee. She was able to loose leash walking and commands on the street from the first visit- a place where she is usually pulling and extremely anxious. Haylee’s fear free method was perfect for Ponyo. After working with Haylee, Ponyo is happier, less anxious, and looks to me for guidance rather than taking the lead. Haylee gave us the tools to help Ponyo see us as capable leaders. She truly understands dog behavior!”
Phillip C.
“I am very excited to start working with Phillip. He was on time, he was personable and you can tell he really cares about helping us as a family learn.”
Myranda D.
“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!”
Erin P.
“I highly recommend Erin. She jumps right in and is very knowledgeable. We accomplished a lot in only 1 session and Im definitely hiring her again.”
Natalie H.
“Natalie is very kind, patient, and positive in her training, with dogs and their person(s)! She understands the causes of dog behavior and has incredible skills in addressing any issue. We highly recommend her!”
Cadence D.
“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.”
Tess R.
“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”
Kyla G.
“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.”
Haley J.
“Haley was great with Livia and assisted with behaviors such as barking, jumping, and biting. She was communicative with us and we would 100% work with her again if needed!”
Rosa K.
“Rosa was a lifeline for me when I was struggling with my (at the time) 6-month-old German Shepherd puppy. Over the course of seven private sessions, Rosa gave me and Biscuit concrete exercises to work on that helped me manage what had felt overwhelming and at times even impossible. But more importantly, Rosa's commitment to positive reinforcement training helped me see my dog with new eyes. I learned to appreciate that Biscuit's reactions were valuable cues, not nuisances, and that improved our relationship so much. I would not hesitate to recommend Rosa to anyone, from first-time guardians to seasoned handlers, looking to explore positive ways of training your dog!”
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.
