Anji B.
“Anji is such an amazing trainer. She is so good with our puppy and helped us learn how to properly care for him as a new pet owner, as well as train him to be independent and well behaved. Our puppy is still all puppy but I recently watched a new puppy owner with his puppy on a leash and thought how grateful I am that our young puppy at 15 weeks is leash trained. Anji is the best and the training she provides is comprehensive and worth the money!”
Karen B.
“I just had a video call consultation. Karen has great training solutions to the needs and problems me and my dog need help with. She laid out a very good plan on how we can train and achieve our goals. I'm very excited and happy to get started.”
Jennifer S.
“Jennifer was very professional and her high level of experience and method with fearful and anxious dogs on leash was calming and encouraging for our dog. Her training tips are very logical and practical and we are experiencing positive results already after one session. She is also helping us find sensible solutions for our other dog’s indoor digging behavior that has plagued us. She is very observant and understands the behavior modification goals we are looking for.”
Xiangmin k.
“Rachel/Xiangmin is a good trainer we talked through the app then transfer to WeChat since we both found out that we’re Chinese and it was easier to communicate there. She gives us a guide on training and what needs to be taught by everyone around my puppy so he knows and get used to it! Will always check in on us every week even if we didn’t book an appointment!”
Robert A.
“Robert has been to our house twice now and has helped us tremendously! Our two dogs, Daisy (GSD) and Gus (Super Mutt) have problems with reactivity and pulling while on the leash. Also, we have neighbor dogs that they react to and after only two sessions and practicing in between, our dogs are already changing their behavior. Well worth every penny, he's clearly an experienced trainer and completely understands dog behavior. He clearly explains instructions and makes sure he answers all your questions. Highly recommend!”
Tatiana T.
“We initially contacted Tatiana for boarding, but quickly realized how knowledgeable she is about dog behavior and training. During our dog's stays, she worked on confidence building, shyness control, and good manners. We noticed real progress over time, and our dog always came home happy, relaxed, and eager to return. Tatiana genuinely loves dogs and cares about the dogs in her care and obviously creates a safe environment where they can learn and thrive. We definitely recommend her!”
Madeline W.
“We waited for over 15 minutes after calling several times and trying to leave messages and no response.”
Christina C.
“We can't recommend Christina from Tails Dog Training highly enough! Our weekly sessions are a highlight. She has a remarkable understanding of dog psychology, turning training into fun, engaging games we all enjoy. Christina's prepared a structured plan with achievable weekly goals, but also offers optional "stretch" games when we're feeling ambitious. Most importantly, she's realistic about training a small puppy in our busy family and is always incredibly positive and encouraging. If you want a knowledgeable and effective dog trainer, look no further!”

About: I founded Lotus Dog Training in 2021. As a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA) with a degree in Education and Behavioral Neuroscience, I ground my work in both learning theory and canine behavior science. These foundations guide my teaching style with human clients and allow me to create training plans that support both the dog and their parents as a team. My approach is holistic, adaptable, and centered on understanding the “why” behind the behavior.
Lisa Z.
“Lisa has spent her life learning from and working with dogs, and she shares that wisdom with gentle confidence. She connects naturally with the dogs she handles and supports owners with the same ease. Her long experience means she leads with compassion, sets healthy boundaries, and builds thoughtful, individualized plans for every dog. You can count on Lisa for attentive care, reliable structure, and a sincere understanding of your pet. Trust your pets in her care.”
Alana W.
About: I am GoodPup Trainer Certified and have completed a hands-on apprenticeship, giving me both the technical knowledge and real-world experience needed to help dogs and their humans succeed. My training style is positive, clear, and tailored to each dog, focusing on building strong communication, confidence, and good behavior that lasts. I’ve worked with dogs of many ages, temperaments, and energy levels — from puppies learning the basics to adult dogs needing structure, manners, or behavior support.
Elizabeth G.
“Fantastic experience with Beth! She was exceptionally patient, listened to our needs, and gave us clear, actionable advice. She took the time to address all our concerns and made us feel very comfortable. We look forward to working with her more in the future for our dog’s training and eventually for a new cat!”
LANYAO L.
“I highly recommend Lanyao as a dog trainer. I took her class when she was at PetSmart, and it made a big difference for my reactive dog. She has great training skills and taught me practical ways to better manage my dog’s behavior. She is professional and focuses on positive reinforcement, which I really appreciate. My dog improved a lot after her class and truly enjoys working with her.”
Alex K.
“Alex is great! Very calm energy, my huge dog loves him. I think we’ll make good progress with his coaching. I am looking forward to handouts he’ll provide.”
Sasha P.
“We were very glad to find Sasha to help us with some training for our new puppy. Sasha is so knowledgeable, patient, and kind. You can really tell she loves what she does. Sasha really took the time to listen to our questions and give thoughtful feedback as to what we could do to help our puppy learn in the important first few months of her life. We also appreciated her enthusiasm and encouraging nature. I’m sure we will use Sasha’s training services again as our puppy grows. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing any sort of dog training help! She is awesome!”
Alycia P.
“Alycia is awesome! From the very second she arrived she was already working and training our dogs. She is extremely knowledgeable and I look forward to working with her in the future as well.”
Lacey C.
“Lacey arrived on time. Professional communications before and during our assessment meeting. She did a great job evaluating my over the top puppy and provided excellent feedback to enhance my current approach. I will happily recommend her.”
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.
