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!”
Crystal M.
“Crystal is incredibly knowledgeable and truly understands what it means to make your puppy a cherished part of the family. If you’re looking to build trust—not fear—with your pup, Crystal is the perfect trainer. He has a gentle and intuitive approach, quickly recognizing and understanding your puppy’s behavior just by observing them. Crystal uses positive reinforcement and encouragement to guide your puppy, helping them integrate smoothly into your family. Thank you, Crystal—we love and appreciate all that you do.”
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.”
Xiangmin k.
“Xiangmin is patient, reliable, and knowledgeable with dogs. She cared for our energetic Weimaraner, Gunner, while reinforcing good behavior, positive training and structure. Highly recommend her.”
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.”
Madeline W.
“We waited for over 15 minutes after calling several times and trying to leave messages and no response.”
Maria P.
“Maria did a wonderful job with Pepper. She taught my puppy core commands like sit, stay, place, drop it, and heel. She helped getting Pepper used to riding in a car. She also provided socialization, exposing my puppy to different kinds of environments, people, and sounds. She communicates well and is on time.”
Robert A.
“Excellent work with our husky rescue. I learned a lot on how to keep her from pulling on the stairs and to reinforce stay when opening our outdoor gate. Very happy with the training overall.”
Caroline L.
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.
Tatiana T.
“Tatiana has been wonderful to work with. She took the time to understand my dog's personality and adjusted her approach to fit his needs. Through training and daycare, my dog became more confident, improved his manners, and learned how to interact more appropriately with other dogs. I appreciated her practical advice, patience, and clear communication. My dog Buddy is always excited to see her, which tells me everything.”
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!”
Nicole S.
“Nicole was wonderful! Showed up on time, sooo nice, very calm disposition, and got results from Reggie right away. She went through each of my concerns and showed me ways to work with him. I appreciate Nicole being so kind and patient with him!”
Kendra R.
“My young female wire fox terrier Scout became so timid and barked at everything, following the traumatic death of her brother (and my husband). A friend introduced us to Kendra. Her holistic and compassionate approach had immediate results. After a few virtual and in-person sessions (and homework), our world is quite transformed. Both Scout and I are more courageous and joyful. Kendra isn't just a trainer, she’s a healer and miracle worker who literally saved both of our lives. We highly recommend her.”
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.
Christina C.
“Christina's teaching style and the way she explains the activities and their purpose is excellent. I feel like I learn so much at each session, and in a way that helps me work through the sticking points Molly and I run into in our daily life. Molly gets so excited to see Christina for training, it's the highlight of her week.”
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.”
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.”
Mason A.
“great instruction. and homework for our own practice”
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.”
Alison S.
“I have a feeling that Alison secretly speaks dog's language. Our golden retriever puppy Charlie listens to her and performs all her commends as soon as she introduces them to him. She is truly amazing with dogs! Her love for them and her positive energy make her the best dog trainer we could find. I am so glad we found Alison!”
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.”

About: I don't just focus on rewards. I also focus on the dog's natural desires, so they learn from natural consequences. This combination creates a powerful training style where dogs learn, and what they learn is locked in for the real world.
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.
