Cindy W.
“Cindy has a great approach and is very thorough and responsive to questions. It was a fluid conversation and we received plenty of answers! We got clarity and actions we were able to implement on and even within 5 days are seeing a difference! We are looking forward to inviting her back for another round and getting the next set of instructions to improve our home life!”
Kaitlyn S.
About: I primarily focus on reactivity and behavior modification as well as basic obedience. My dog, Riley, was aggressive with severe brain damage. She is what motivated me to become a trainer and she is the reason I fight everyday to help other dogs. ALL DOGS DESERVE TRAINING

“Was not very happy with the service I received”
Jason D.
“Jason was perfect for helping us with our little Hannah. She is a rescue off the street 6 pound chihuahua with understandable fears behaviors. He helped with how we can build trust and bond with her while setting boundaries with her. She’s responding really well!”
Jaimie D.
“She was amazing and kind, and Koda my fur baby had no issues with her. She spent a lot time with us and went above and beyond. For us, specially with me deploying I know my fur baby is in good hands for his training. She definitely worked with me to get scheduled for everything and we have a plan and I’m excited for the continuation of working with you :)”
Jowhar K.
About: For over 12 years, I’ve been selectively breeding and developing AKC Performance Boxers — dogs renowned for their athleticism, confidence, and stable temperaments. This lifelong experience gives me a deep understanding of canine behavior, structure, and working drive that few trainers can match.
Skylar W.
“Skylar is an incredible dog trainer, and our dog Auggie is proof! Since working with Skylar, Auggie has made so much progress, the difference in his behavior has been remarkable. Skylar is patient, encouraging, and clearly knows how to connect with dogs in a way that actually gets results. Beyond the skills, Skylar is just a genuinely wonderful person, professional, reliable, and a joy to work with. We couldn't recommend her more highly!”

Isiah R.
“Isaiah was awesome with my dog Zeus. Zeus is very reactive towards people and dogs and Isaiah came in and handled him with no problem, gave us a bunch of tricks and taught us how to handle Zeus' reactivity in less than an hour. We're definitely hiring him again in the future.”
Lorin A.
“I can’t say enough good things about Lorin! My 8-year-old chihuahua mix, Frankie, is yappy, anxious, and excitable, and I wasn’t sure how much progress we could make, but the improvement has been incredible. Lorin is attentive, truly listens, and provides clear written feedback with structured, manageable training plans. I was skeptical about virtual sessions, but they exceeded expectations. She also stepped in for last-minute boarding, sent daily video updates, and continued training. I feel more confident, and my bond with Frankie is stronger. I couldn't ask for more!”
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!”
Julie W.
“we've only had one session so far, and a day later i'm already seeing amazing improvements in my very timid boy. julie is the best!!”

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.
