Skylar S.
“Skylar did a consult since we are first time dog owners of a 13 week old puppy. He did an assessment of our home set up and dynamics. He provided us with very practical advice and handled our crazy little monster exceptionally since she is at that puppy stage where nipping and bitting is high.”
Nina C.
“Nina is awesome! Our first session with her was for our dog's leash manners. She's incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and patient. We were especially impressed by her customized tips that we'd never thought of before – expertly tailored to our dog's needs and lifestyle. Can't wait for the next session!”
Bethany G.
About: As a certified behavior consultant, I specialize in helping dogs with complex behavior challenges. I'm also the owner of a dog who struggles with everyday life, and I understand how challenging and isolating it can feel. I combine lived experience with science-based training to create solutions that feel practical, kind, and truly fit your life. If you’re struggling with your dog's behavior you don’t have to face it alone. I am here to help you and your dog find the path to a happier life.
Jesus R.
“Jesus was great. He spent time observing my dog and listening to my concerns. He helped me understand Mickey’s behavior and how I can help him to control his behavior.”
Taylor H.
“Taylor has a way with dogs. She is very professional, knowledgeable, and pleasant to work with. No matter the training issue with your dog , give Taylor a chance, you won't be disappointed.”
Jess F.
About: I am a strictly force free trainer; I do not use any aversive, fear, or pain but only positive reinforcement! My method is grounded in SAFETY and EMOTION. I don't just use a generic template; I provide customized guidance tailored specifically to your dog’s unique personality and your individual lifestyle, ensuring the training fits realistically into your world.
Katherine B.
“I met Kate when my puppy, Pippin was just 13 weeks old. I can't tell you how lucky both Pippin and I were! Kate's approach - partnership between person and dog, attentiveness to one another - builds great friendships while also teaching great skills. Pippin has learned all I've asked of him, and with no stress. His whole body wags when he sees "Auntie Kate" every week!”
Teresa H.
“Teresa was amazing with my puppy. From the very beginning she wanted to be informed of what help I needed. When I picked Taco up, she made a lot of suggestions to help me with continue training Taco. I can see why all the dogs love her so much, she is very warm and caring of her dogs. I highly recommend her if you want to leave your puppy. I felt very comfortable leaving my baby.”
Imani O.
About: I do not discriminate against any breed, or aggressive dogs. I have had ten years of experience working with dogs and spent two of them shadowing other trainers and learning what techniques work for me and what does not.
Brad P.
About: I focus on making training a partnership between me, your dog, and you. I take the time to guide you through each step, answer questions clearly, and help you understand exactly how to continue the progress in everyday routines. You will never feel rushed, pressured, or left guessing. Training should feel empowering, and that is what I prioritize.
Lei B.
“Lei was amazing with my first training consultation with my puppy Chloe! She is very warm and supportive of new dog owners. Her expertise on dog breeds felt reassuring to me and I am grateful for her knowledge. Lei also sent a detailed outline on training tips and guidance. I highly recommend Lei!”
Shian H.
“Shian is an all-around amazing dog trainer. As a first time pet owner at 36 years old, she taught me everything needed to give my pup basic training. She was very calm and patient. And you can tell that she loves the dogs. My pup, Euro, genuinely loves her. Whenever we had class, he always greeted her with so much excitement. I definitely look forward to working with her in the future!”
Lindsay R.
“I was very impressed with Lindsay’s professional dog training knowledge and her ability to bond with Rusty. She gave me some helpful advice and I am looking forward to her training session.”
Kirk P.
“Kirk was attentive, had great communication, and was professional. I highly recommend him if you are looking for a good dog trainer. I can see the difference in the walk already and I really needed a change of experience with the doggo. Thanks Kirk!”
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.
