Rita S.
“Rita did an excellent job helping us to come up with a good plan to try and train our dogs the right way we are excited to work with her”
Harry S.
“Harry has been fantastic. He is very calm (great for working with reactive dogs) and a clear communicator (great for working with dogs and humans!). I've been impressed with how he observes me with my dog and then provides real-time suggestions that fit where we're at --- it's not a cookie cutter approach. Petey and I have struggled for over a year with "lay down." (Other trainers haven't been able to help.) Harry watched us for a while, then suggested a few alternatives based on what he saw Petey already doing. It worked! I have been really pleased, and Petey seems more confident and engaged with each practice session. If/when Petey and I run into speedbumps, I'll reach out to Harry again.”
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.”
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!”
Taylor R.
“Tay brought calm to our previously chaotic home. Her help allowed us to work through our puppy's destructive behaviors, making our life so much easier!”
Ethan G.
“I can’t wait to see what else Mel learns from Ethan. We are on day 3 of practicing his method of getting her not to pull on the leash and she is already vastly easier to walk. Ethan is patient, professional, kind, and a great listener. I told him I needed support from my family to train Mel and he quietly came through for me. We (Mel, our kids, and my partner) were so impressed and felt so at ease with Ethan that we are boarding Mel with him for 8 days in August. I am so nervous about leaving her for the first time (she is a rescue) but knowing she will be in kind and capable hands makes it much easier.”

Tatiana T.
“Just wow! Who would have thought that daycare and training could go together so well? Tatiana taught our Shiba to sit, stand, down, and finally accept a crate. We had tried everything. Our dog hated crates so much that he would not even enter a room if there was a crate inside. The combination of daycare, training, and practice throughout the day made such a huge difference. Things we struggled with for months suddenly started clicking. We are so grateful we found Tatiana. Thank you!!!”
Seth L.
About: What sets me apart is a focus on the science of habit and functional reliability. Most training only reaches the "think brain", working in a quiet kitchen, but failing under distraction. I specialize in moving behaviors into the automatic habit center, creating a dog that responds naturally. I provide a professional roadmap from puppy foundations to complex reactivity. Empowering you with peace of mind and confidence.
Morgane I.
About: I believe one of the most important parts of training is building a strong relationship with your pup! Dog training with me is all about helping pups explore the world safely while learning to listen and respond to their humans when needed.
Lisa B.
“Lisa took the time to understand my concernd and address each one. She was empathetic to my situation and could tell I was feeling overwhelmed. She put me at ease offering great advice and showed me ways to set myself and my puppers up for success!!”
Yvonne M.
“She is professional, assessed our situation and gave good advice on working on some of our dog's (and our) behavior issues.”
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!”
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.
