Megan O.
“Megan has helped us understand why our dog is acting the way he is and how to change his behavior. In a short week I’ve see vast improvement. We are excited that our dog is going to be able to lead a more fulfilling life with proper training.”
Shauna B.
“Shauna is awesome! She helped us train our older dog when he was a puppy. The techniques she taught us helped us to train our new puppy a year ago. I would highly recommend Shauna to anyone. She was always available for support even after the training was complete.”
Alyssa M.
“Alyssa is wonderful and we love having her come to our house and train sky. She is very knowledgeable and kind. We would highly recommend!”
Erika N.
About: My hands-on work with the behavior and training team at The Humane Society of Utah gave me extensive experience reading body language and supporting a wide range of behavioral needs. As a Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner, I focus on clear, effective, and enjoyable training. Working through reactivity and aggression with my own dog showed me how misunderstood behavior can be and how powerful compassionate training truly is. I strive to create a supportive, judgment-free space where dogs and their humans can succeed together.
Harleigh P.
“Harleigh is a great dog trainer! She is always on time, professional and knowledgeable. I recommend wholeheartedly!”
Paige A.
About: I love every type of animal, but especially dogs. I feel deeply connected to them. I have worked and volunteered with animal shelters because I care a lot for the animals there, but also the people who had to make the decision to surrender their pet. Between my own two dogs, I've personally experienced issues with leash reactivity, separation anxiety, leash-pulling, jumping, house training, resource guarding, and dog-dog relationships, so I know how heavy these issues can weigh on a family. A motivator for me as a trainer is to create happy relationships between humans and their pups.
Adam L.
“I can’t say enough good things about Adam. He made puppy training fun and engaging rather than a chore. I’ve seen a massive shift in my dog’s behavior and our relationship—it’s truly a lifestyle upgrade. We aren't done yet; we’re excited to keep building on this foundation with Adam’s help!”
Cameron R.
About: Animals are my passion. Regardless of the care or training I give your animals I will treat them like my own. I have a life long experience being around animals, especially dogs, and helping people and pets have a positive relationship is my passion!
Amber S.
About: Hello, even though I have not been certified for long. I have taught and helped raise many dogs throughout my life. I am eager to use my new skills to help you and your dog have a great relationship.
Tisha S.
“Tisha is really knowledgeable about dog behavior and gave me some great feedback and things to work on with my reactive puppy. I would highly recommend for any dog training needs.”
Karissa K.
“Karissa was fantastic. She took the time to meet my dog on his terms, learn about him, learn about my wishes, and also tell me about her and her methods and the whys behind what we were doing. I love a communicative queen!”
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.
