Dario B.
“Dario was highly recommended to me by Spark Rescue SB. Captain took right to him. As soon as he heard him whistle, he'd run out to greet him. Dario taught both Captain & myself a lot. He's patient, knowledgeable, consistent, and gets many positive results. One thing I learned from the gate. It's more about training the human than the animal.”
Walela M.
“Walela has worked faithfully with my over-reactive dog for a few years now. I have always found her to be dependable, steady & patient, always texting me about my dog's behavior that day, while giving me some thoughtful pointers. My dog really gets excited when Walela arrives at our home, but will suddenly become a very good learner. I have had multiple opportunities to totally trust her house-sitting; caring for both my home & Miss Lille.”
Jane E.
“Jane was very helpful with my newly adopted pitbull. Lots of advice on how to lead, stop fixating on other dogs, proper rewards and use use of proper harness and leash. I would highly recommend Jane. Very helpful and dependable.”
Katherine T.
“I have total confidence in Katherine's abilities as a dog trainer. I look to her for guidance on the toughest behavior problems and for day to day training. I've seen her take a rescue dog without any training to a very social and well behaved member of the family. Katherine is gentle but firm and uses persistent positive reinforcement to guide a dog toward good choices.”
Kurt B.
“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.”
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.”

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.
