Taryn T.
“Love how she trains my pups. She is consistent and calm which makes the pups calm down. I’m very happy with the training and the help Taryn has provided.”
Andrew S.
“During our initial in-person evaluation, Andrew came to our home and spent a good deal of time discussing our concerns while playing with Miso. He was able to observe how she interacts with us both individually and together. We then went for a walk so he could observe one of our biggest obstacles - her leash aggression toward other dogs as well as how we react to her aggression and more importantly, where we can improve with simple commands and consistency. While he says he observed her reaction to other dogs as ‘severe’ - I thought it was one of her more milder outbursts! But he is correct, it reached a certain level and anything beyond that is definitely severe. Additionally, we discussed her separation anxiety and some small steps we can take to start addressing that right away as it is a long process. Overall, we found Andrew to be right on the same page as we are with our approach and thoughts on moving forward. He has already provided feedback and an outline of actions for us to start taking immediately. He is kind, observant, respectful and open to discussion on what’s best for Miso, rather than just a cookie cutter approach. We look forward to working with him in the future. -Justin & Kelly & 🐕”
Justin S.
“Justin was so helpful with our 10 week old puppy we have had a lot of trouble potty training. He offered to do a free consultation to start but he was so helpful I just had to pay him for his time. He really eased my anxiety and I feel more confident that we are on track. I'm looking forward to working with him on leash training when the time comes. Can not thank him enough.”

About: Since I was a child I have loved and wanted to be around dogs. I have dedicated every free moment of my life to gaining experience and knowledge about dog behavior, training and care, and my goal is to use this knowledge to help owners create lasting changes while helping them build closer bonds with their pets.
Yvonne W.
“We had such an amazing experience with Yvonne. She was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and immediately understood exactly what our Boxer, Nala, needed. After just one session, we felt an overwhelming sense of relief and confidence moving forward. Yvonne truly puts in the time, effort, patience, and genuine care—not just for the dog, but for the whole family. We are so excited to continue Nala’s training sessions and couldn’t be more grateful. If you’re looking for a trainer who truly knows what they’re doing and actually cares, Yvonne is your person.”
Erika M.
“Erika is very knowledgeable and motivated. We really enjoyed our session and look forward to learning and growing with Erika’s help.”
Sarah F.
“I was having difficulty with my dog peeing inside even though she’s been potty trained for 11 years, and Sarah was able to give some resources and guidance on how to handle the problem. So far, a few days in after her advice, and my dog still hasn’t peed inside! I’m so grateful she was able to speak into the situation and keep my dog from peeing on my rug! Our family is also considering adopting a 2 year old dog from a shelter. I had so many questions and Sarah was able to share a wealth of information that was really helpful. My family really appreciates Sarah’s knowledge on dog training!”
Cecilia A.
“I live in Massachusetts and Cecilia helped me train my labradoodle via video lessons. All we used was a clicker and food ( treat size morsels). I have the most well behaved and happy dog and the envy of the neighborhood. I highly recommend Cecilia for her services.”

Heather R.
“Heather has been incredibly valuable in helping me build a strong foundation with my puppy, Canelo. she took the time to understand my priorities with training and showed me how to interact with him in a way that actually builds confidence and engagement. canelo was immediately receptive to her and responded so naturally to her guidance which was really reassuring. the tools and techniques she introduced have made training feel much more intentional and effective and i’ve already seen noticeable progress in his focus and responsiveness. i’m extremely grateful for her patience, knowledge and support, and i’m really looking forward to continuing to work with her as Canelo grows. highly recommend!”
Courtney R.
“Courtney is fantastic! Very thorough, thoughtful and our puppy Frankie loved her.”
Andrea A.
“Andrea’s training with my pup Canelo has been invaluable. She helped us dial in leash work, “leave it,” and most importantly, getting him calm and confident in public. The progress has been real and noticeable. She’s patient, clear, and knows what she’s doing. I’m genuinely grateful for her guidance. Highly recommend.”
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.
