Wendy B.
“Our training session with Wenday was great! We have a young puppy and wanted to get off to a good start with his training. Wendy showed us how to properly start our crate and potty training. All of her training is positive. Highly recommend!”
Mackenzie C.
“Mackenzie was amazing. Super knowledgeable, very patient and very helpful. We really appreciated the support and will be having Mackenzie back.”
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!”

Robbie A.
About: Highly informative and fun, I make the dog training journey a interesting one. Expect BIG results. How? You will learn to achieve small wins which add up to the big results you want to see.
Rachel G.
“My training session with Rachael went very well. It gave me a whole new insight on how to approach training JAZ. Rachael was very informative and professional and I was so impressed how fast my dog responded to the method. Rachael definitely gets 5 stars”
Andres P.
“I highly recommend Andres! When we started, my dog Pinot struggled with leash pulling, barking at other dogs on walks, and being destructive at home when left alone. After training with Andres, the change has been incredible. Pinot now walks calmly on leash, greets dogs and people politely, and is much more relaxed overall. Our walks and visits to lakes and parks are finally enjoyable. Andres is patient, knowledgeable, and truly understands dogs.”
Regina H.
“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.”
Erica T.
About: With 15 years experience professionally working with people and their pups I can help you and your pup communicate and understand one another better. I left the corporate dog industry in 2020 so I can personally give people and pups attention. I am comfortable working with a variety of dogs and have a lot of experience with dogs with leash reactivity. I also taught many group classes in the past for a top dog facility in Orange County and was their Behavior & Training Director.
Adrianne P.
“Great experience with Adrianne! Our session was really helpful and I already feel more confident working with my dog. She made everything easy to understand and gave me tools I can actually use. I’m excited to keep working with her and see our doodle at his best. Highly recommend”
April S.
About: I don't focus solely on treats. I'm able to win the dogs mind over to where they respect and mind their owner the first time. Positive reinforcement in a new light.
Adam R.
“He was awesome!!!”
Carlos H.
“Carlos is a great trainer, he was to pinpoint what our dog needed very quickly, was very helpful, answered all our questions and took the time to explain everything in details. He showed us how to help our dog and made us practice which was great for us.”
Helen C.
“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.”
Pauline T.
About: I also do work full time as a professional K9 behaviorist at a corporate company. I prioritize educating and supporting pet parents. Training doesn’t stop when our session ends, so I make sure you understand the techniques, timing, and mindset needed to continue progress at home. My goal is a well-balanced dog and a confident, connected human on the other end of the leash. Speak mandarin. 講國語
Geraldine R.
“I highly recommend Geraldine (G) . She was my dog’s puppy trainer and was the best! She was professional, patient, and very informative. Most importantly, my dog loved her!”
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!”
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.”
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.
