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.”
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.”
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.”

About: I have a formal education, years of experience, and love working with difficult cases. I specialize in high-drive, high-energy dogs who struggle to contain their excitement, but I love working with all dogs.
Amanda D.
About: I have extensive background in behavior modification using force and fear free techniques. I have worked for 6 years in shelter behavior. I specialize in reactivity, fear/aggression displays and adopted dogs.
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!”
Trey A.
“Trey is super awesome, friendly, and patient with both dogs and their pawrents! He helped get our cattle dog/lab mix Ace on track. Our puppy is pretty stubborn and Trey gave us some really helpful tips and made sure that we knew what we needed to do to get Ace in a good place. I highly recommend Trey!”
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!”

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.”

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.
