Wendy B.

“Wendy is great! Exactly what my husband and I wanted to help us train our dog. We are looking forward to having her help training us to have a consistent and positive approach”
Kendall M.

“Lisa is so flexible and works with our schedule. She loves pets and it shows, she's helping our puppy Lilly get manners and behave, she's come so far since we started with Lisa, we adore her and how she trains with love and patience ! Lisa gives us a great curriculum to follow each time.”
Vienna C.

“Vienna is so kind, considerate, generous, patient and well organized, She provides an agenda prior to each training session based on behaviors that need the most focus and attention.

Pauline T.

“Awesome”
Andres P.
“I highly recommend Andres! After rescuing my dog Chip from the shelter, he was very shy and unsure of himself. Training with Andres made a huge difference. Chip is now happy, playful, and much more confident. Andres was patient, kind, and truly understood Chip’s needs. I’m so grateful for the progress Chip has made and would recommend Andres to anyone looking for a compassionate and effective dog trainer.”
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.

“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”
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.”


Ashley S.
“I can’t recommend Ashley Sanford enough as a personal dog trainer. She had a natural connection with our dog Bella and a calm, patient approach that really made a difference in our dogs behavior. We saw a difference in Bella’s aggressive attitude in a short amount of time. If you’re looking for someone who is knowledgeable in dog’s behavior issues, dependable and truly dedicated to helping train your fur child to be a good pet, Ashley is an excellent choice.”
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.”
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!”

Joshua G.
About: Pitbulls, Dobermans , Rottweilers, GSD, etc., are the big reason why I became a dog trainer. I want to show people that these “highly aggressive dog breeds” actually have greater personalities than what most the media portrays them as.
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.
Andrew L.
“Lucy, who is my German Shepherd, my partner, and I all had the pleasure of working with Andrew on many behavioral issues my dog has had. So far lucy and I have had 2 training sessions with andrew and many more to come as Lucy has had massive improvements. Andrew's training methods are simple yet extremely effective for both the dog and the owner alike to understand. I would highly recommend andrew for anyone looking for quality and reliable dog training!”
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.”
Helen C.
“highly recommend Helen as a dog trainer and caregiver. She is responsible, patient, and genuinely loves animals. Helen has a natural ability to connect with dogs, helping them feel safe, understood, and confident. She is dependable, attentive to each dog's individual needs, and always goes the extra mile to ensure their well-being. Any dog owner would be fortunate to have Helen caring for and training their pet.”
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.”
Kai W.

“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!”
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.
