Wendy B.
“Wendy is very knowledgeable, and was a big help for me and my puppy! She is quick to respond, checks in on progress, and also provided me with a customized plan to support my anxious puppy’s needs. Highly recommend!”
Kevin V.
About: It’s my calm energy that gravitates the dogs to me. Building a special bond with every dog is my first step in training. I can handle most power breeds so all breeds are welcomed
A’Lonnie L.

Rachel G.
“During our initial consultation, Rachel was very attentive to what we were looking for, made a great connection with our dog and with us, and already gave us some new ideas to use with our dog. We are happy to continue working with her.”
Pauline T.
“Awesome”
Kenny K.
“Kenny is an upstanding and honest person, believes in good work ethic, and is one of the most morally conscious people I know. He is always focused on personal health and growth which translates to how he is with his dog Kai. Kai is a beautiful and happy dog, treated with love and respect and is both playful and obedient! I am certain that Kenny will treat all other dogs in his care the same way!”
April S.
“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.”
Erica T.
“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!”
Adrianne P.
“Adrianne is terrific! She was very kind to our dog Mary while still setting boundaries, and let us know how to replicate that training system. She also suggested several changes we could make and small items we could use to that were very helpful. She is extremely professional and well-qualified. I highly recommend her.”
Natasha E.
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.
Anastasiya K.
“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!”
Melinda R.
“Melinda was phenomenal. She helped me get started with my sweet Daisy and offered great insight and recommendations to help my puppy adjust to her new home. She was very attentive and even practiced positive-reinforcement techniques with us during Daisy’s leash walks. Thanks to her guidance, I feel confident that with time, training, and consistency, my sweet Daisy will grow into a confident and happy dog.”
Skyler M.
“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.”
Adam R.
“He was awesome!!!”
Allie P.
“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.”
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.
