“Excellent dog trainer-knows that you have to train the person more than the dog. Worked with my heeler who’s a puppy and already got leash training nailed”

“Clare was a true professional and provided a fantastic training experience. I feel enabled to better train my dog and continue to work on the skills and techniques we reviewed”
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.”
Harleigh P.
“Harleigh is a great dog trainer! She is always on time, professional and knowledgeable. I recommend wholeheartedly!”
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!”
Tisha S.
“Tisha was awesome and do informative!! I greatly appreciated her taking the time to meet with me and my pups and give tailored advice on how I should approach my dogs and what needs to be done to train them to be obedient. She’s even going to send me a tailored email with instructions for what I need to do going forward and if I need her help again she will be available to help! Thank you so much!!”

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.
