Kiera K.
“Kiera helped me train my anxious dog Rose feel comfortable enough to leave the house again after a few bad experiences. Rose went from being a dog that would cower away from the door, to one who now gets so excited whenever she sees her leash!”
Cindy W.
“Love Cindy!!! She gave me fantastic tools that are working immediately! You can tell she loves dogs and knows her stuff. Looking forward to our next session. Thanks Cindy!!!”
Aubree P.
“Aubree was very patient and warm with our puppy. It was clear that our puppy was getting more comfortable with her during our first meeting. Looking forward to working with her to help get our puppy training completed”

About: I am prior military and highschool football/track coach so, teaching comes natural. I am passionate about dog training and willing to work with any dog and patient enough to trainer any.
Jason D.
“Jason's patience and calm demeanor are exactly what we and our dog needed. He explained everything so clearly and gave us simple, practical tools to work with. The results have been fantastic. We highly recommend his services!”
Rebekah C.
“Rebekah is an incredible dog trainer—patient, knowledgeable, and truly kind. She not only understands dogs, but also takes time to learn about the family’s routines and goals. Her training plans are realistic and tailored to set everyone up for success. Highly recommend!”
Roman G.
“Was not very happy with the service I received”
Skylar W.
“Skylar has been our trainer for approximately 3 years. My 4-yr old Doodle has suffered with anxiety often preventing her from engaging in common activities (i.e. walking, being around loud noises, and riding in the car). From the start Skylar was able to develop a special bond with both my dog and I. Her gentle approach to desensitizing & social anxiety have largely contributed to our success. Not to mention the firm and gentle approach with me, as a dog parent! She is knowledgeable and interested in getting your animal on the right and successful path.”
Angela R.
“A wonderful lady! My dogs adored her right away!”
Ashley & James T.
“Can’t wait to work with you further on Chewy’s puppy training.”
David S.
About: I grew up with a lot of big dogs. My parents had a Tibetan mastiff and she had three litters of puppies that equated to 32 puppies. I’ve worked with West Highland terriers, border collies, beagles, huskies, malamute’s and Wolf hybrids. And some cats? All before I was an adult.

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.
