Kyra was exceptional! Very thorough and asked so many good questions. She’s very knowledgeable and I am looking forward to having her work with Waylon.

Kyla is both a professional at her craft and someone who deeply loves dogs. She took her time asking questions about my dog to understand the problems we are experiencing and then detailed how we would begin to correct them as well as what the end result would be. In just a few short minutes with Kyla my dog was already learning better behaviors. I have no doubt she will be able to help us further. We will be booking more sessions with her and look forward to potentially boarding our dogs in the future!

Valerie was kind and interactive with my puppy. She asked questions to gather background information to better help my puppy. Can’t wait to keep working with her in the future!

Amanda is AMAZING! She really knows what she’s doing, even with my trauma fur baby, who needs a special kind of attention. Amanda was flexible for the consultation, came to our home, gave great information during her visit, and followed up with a well written and organized training plan. With a traumatized rescue and a broken leg, I was panicking about Rosa’s progress. We are so grateful to have found Amanda! And are so excited to see her progress :)

We can’t say enough great things about Jennifer! Not only has she been an incredible trainer for our dogs, Davinci and Charlotte, but she also provides a loving and safe daycare environment. Her patience, expertise, and genuine love for animals shine through in everything she does. Thanks to her, our dogs have improved so much in their behavior, and they absolutely love spending time at daycare. It gives us such peace of mind knowing they are in the best hands. We highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for top-notch dog training!

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.
