“John feels like an old family friend! Our scared new rescue Billy, is very scared and barks when she feels threatened, never barked at John. She’s slowly beginning to trust more and more comfortable thanks to John’s patient and calm demeanor. It’s like he’s the real dog whisperer! He’s realistic and honest about time and processes with fearful dogs like ours and we can see the “homeworks” working on Billy. Couldn’t recommend his services more!”

“I have a feeling our training sessions with Lipika are going to be life changing. Such a warm soul and so knowledgeable. My boys loved her as did I! Cant wait to see how my 12 week old Aussie matures with her training guidance 🥹 11/10!”

“We had a great experience working with Carlos over five sessions. He was always on time, well prepared, and made each lesson clear and enjoyable. He helped us feel comfortable while training but also wasn’t afraid to correct us when needed, which really improved our technique. Our dog Archie absolutely loved him and was always excited to see him each week. After every session, he provided a helpful summary and extra materials, and he was always available to answer questions. We couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend Carlos to anyone looking for a caring dog trainer.”

“Khafren is really great with my dog, Sunday. My puppy is tiny at 3lbs and Khafren is very gentle and patient. Sunday loves learning and interacting with Khafren during her training session.”

“I asked Beste for help with my dog’s jumping and leash pulling. She was so patient and explained everything clearly not just to my dog but to me too! I could already see a difference after first session. She genuinely loves dogs and it shows!”

About: With 30 years' experience caring for dogs and new GoodPup certification, I train with kindness and heart - helping dogs feel safe, confident, and deeply understood.

About: I believe successful training starts with educating both the dog and the owner. I take time to explain each exercise so families understand how to continue making progress between sessions. My goal is to create lasting results through clear communication, consistency, and positive reinforcement in real-life environments.

About: At the heart of my training programs is Positive Reinforcement. Instead of focusing on what your dog does wrong, I teach them exactly what you want them to do right. I like to focus of the pup pups dealing with separation anxiety No Pain, No Fear: I strictly avoid aversive tools like shock collars, choke chains, or prong collars. This prevents anxiety and creates a safe, engaging environment for your dog to learn.

“Highly recommend XiaoXi Wang! She trained my Golden Retriever July, and the whole experience went so smoothly. XiaoXi is incredibly patient and really gets each dog's personality — no harsh methods, just positive encouragement that actually works. Thanks to her, July can now do Heel, Sit, Down, Go to Spot, and Leave It — the progress has been amazing! She also shared tips on how to keep practicing at home, which was super helpful. If you're looking for a dog trainer, just go with XiaoXi — you won't regret it!”

About: What sets me apart is my intuitive, compassionate approach and my ability to read your dog. I prioritize teaching owners how to communicate clearly and confidently with their dogs, creating lasting results beyond the session. I’m patient, adaptable, and focused on building trust. I genuinely care about your dog’s well-being and their own success, and I’m committed to creating a positive experience every step of the way.

“Working with Helen was one of the best decisions I made for my dog. She was patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about both me and my dog throughout the entire process. After training, my dog became calmer, more focused, and much more reliable in public settings. Helen also gave me the guidance and support I needed to maintain the results at home. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated and skilled dog trainer.”

About: I am a certified trainer with extensive hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I specialize in addressing real-world behavior challenges, from puppy basics to reactivity and leash manners. My approach combines professional knowledge with genuine care, ensuring every dog feels safe, understood, and motivated to learn. Pet parents appreciate my clear communication, follow-up support, and step-by-step guidance tailored to their lifestyle.

“Finding someone who truly understands and sincerely loves dogs is rare, but finding someone to help theirs behave with a consistent gentle approach is a blessing. Jill is that rare gem. She connects with furry ones so well it’s as though she thinks with their perspective—my Cowboy adores her and responds to her with focus and respect. Thanks to Jill he is happier, more confident, and better behaved. For anyone looking for someone to treat their family member with love, care, and patience, I cannot recommend this dog lover enough.”

“Arash isn’t just a dog trainer — he’s the kind of person every dog and every rescue wishes they had in their corner. He’s incredibly skilled, deeply responsible, and genuinely loving in the way he works with every animal. His commitment goes far beyond training sessions; he’s a huge rescue advocate who’s actively involved with all the local rescue groups, always stepping up for dogs who need a second chance. Anyone who’s crossed paths with Arash knows he brings heart, expertise, and unwavering dedication to everything he does”

“After not having a puppy for almost 17 years, Serena came to my rescue when I brought home my four month old chihuahua, Millie. We began with private in-home training sessions. In addition to teaching some basic commands (sit, down, come, stay, place, etc.), she also helped me think through how to set up my house to reinforce positive behaviors. She provided honest feedback on how to set up appropriate boundaries, which in turn, helped me get more sleep at night! She shared resources such as training treats, interactive toys, grooming tools, and recovery items after her spay.”

“Regina was so great and knowledgeable! She was able to identify what my two dogs needed and how to help them. She gave me homework to work on with them, and ways to continue improving their behaviors. So grateful I found her. Looking forward to continuing working with her.”

About: I make sure to write condensed emails for my clients about topics we may have discussed in our sessions and other resource information that is applicable.

“All I can say is, Wow. Our initial consultation with Erica was simply amazing. She is so genuine, kind and full of knowledge. We will definitely be utilizing Erica to help train us and our dog! If you are new to rover, or just looking for a new trainer to go with then I have to recommend Erica!”

“Skyler’s consultation was fantastic! My dog immediately bonded with her, and I felt like she was meeting an old friend. I shared what led me to book with her and my goals for Jewels. She explained how we can help him become more obedient at home through training, noting that he’s a quick learner, so he should pick things up quickly. She also suggested my good Kong and lick mat, along with more training opportunities, which I’m planning to explore.”

“Isabel was wonderful! She traveled over 30 minutes to visit with us. She came over and was very helpful. I felt that she provided above and beyond services in terms of observing and suggesting. She gave such good information and I felt that she spent extra time with us. Plan on continuing to work with her!”

“Kai is an incredibly kind and uplifting trainer and his holistic approach is exactly what we were looking for. He completely nailed the root of the issue in our very first meeting, offering strategies that were so brilliantly simple they made us think, “Why didn't we think of that?” After being repeatedly told that our rescue dog's resource guarding was an incurable, lost cause, it was such a relief to get genuine hope from Kai and the approaches we could use to ease the issue. He was incredibly understanding and compassionate throughout our time together. On top of his expertise, he connected with our dog immediately. We truly feel like we are in great hands!”

“Awesome”

“Holly is the best trainer in the business!! My puppy Bonnie absolutely adores her!! I saw improvements in Bonnie’s abilities and behavior after just one lesson with Holly. Holly provided me with so many helpful tips, toys, and treats to keep Bonnie engaged and excited to practice between training sessions. She makes learning approachable while always remaining professional. Holly is a friend to me and my pup, and I am so grateful for her help on my puppy parenting journey!! I would recommend her a thousand times over to anyone looking for a trainer!!😄🐶🐾”

“Ana was amazing. Very knowledgeable and not pushy towards certain training. She went above and beyond to learn my pup and his habits to create a plan. Saw some results right off the bat and will continue to work with her. If you are thinking twice, stop and at least do a consultation you won’t regret it! Thanks Ana!”

“Allie understands and cares about dogs and their humans. She’s patient, clear, and positive, and she gives practical, step-by-step homework that’s easy to follow between sessions. We adopted a reactive dog from a shelter, and Allie helped us pinpoint what was driving the reactivity and exactly what to do in the moment. Her approach is research-based (we’re working through BAT training), which gave us confidence. We’ve seen measurable progress after every session and felt supported throughout. We recommend Allie to anyone dealing with reactivity or wanting a trainer who delivers real results.”

“Amazing! So knowledgeable and made training our puppy feel so-able!”

“April is excellent. She is kind and patient. She had one session with my Dexter and I can see a significant difference. The homework she provides is clear and concise.”

“He was awesome!!!”

“Kurt listened to my concerns. He gave my 3 week from a shelter dog time to get comfortable. I feel like I was professionally guided with a gentle, calm approach. My dog even got to play with his dog a little. He evaluated him in a neutral territory. I now know more about BART. He likes horses is non reactive , not a big prey drive either. I feel his behavior is better than shoulder be expected. My nerves are calmer, and that’s saying a lot. Thank you Kurt, I have more hope now.”
