“We have had one session with Willow and are looking forward to the second one. She is great!!! Very patient and informative. She gave us some great tips and things to work on in between session that have already been helping. It’s also very helpful having her come to my home and see my dog and how he acts in his normal surroundings. She has a lot of knowledge and I look forward to learning everything she knows.”
“So far so good. I just had a consult but we’ll do a few sessions soon. She drove to my house with was nice for me, also. Good to meet you Alyson and see you again soon!”
“J is an excellent dog sitter and trainer. She is compassionate, reliable professional and my corgi puppy loves her. She has helped work with him for basic commands. In addition, she works with training service dogs for the blind. I highly recommend J.”
“Meg is fantastic! From the start, her approach was calm, strategic, and supportive, exactly what we needed for behavioral correction and training support. She jumped right in, asked thoughtful questions, and got to work. Her training style is strengths based which has been incredibly effective for our dogs. If you're looking for a trainer who knows what they're doing and genuinely cares about getting it right, Meg is the one. 10/10, would recommend her to anyone. We're excited to keep working with her.”
“Angyl is very knowledgeable, friendly and professional. We've had our dog just two weeks, and within minutes, she was approaching Angyl and acting friendly. Her consultation was very informative!”
“Love having Young training our two rescues! He introduced them to playing as part of their training and made the process so easy and fun for all of us. It really helped Ox come out of his shell and made the drills more interactive and engaging.”
About: Instead of just teaching dogs, tricks or correcting them when they're bad and rewarding them when they're good, i'm actually using dog language to help teach dogs the rules in a human household so that they can understand the similarities between pack living in a dog house and in a human house. This allows for a much deeper bond and understanding that lasts.
“Bree, was instrumental in helping me, with my new dog peewee, she really helped with basic training and teaching me simple commands that I could use.. She's the best, such a nice young lady”
“Kelley is fantastic! We were lucky enough to book her for a consultation within the first few days of bringing home our 3y old rescue dog. She walked in with a relaxed and confident presence and Mars responded to her positively. She observed and chatted with us for a bit to understand what type of behaviors we want to work on. She had a training plan for us the next day and we had our first training session shortly after. At the first training, Kelley brought the same professional and easy presence and was responsive to what we wanted to focus on, including a last minute pivot after our priorities changed.”
“Tina has been very thorough and reassuring. She explains the goal and how long the training should take. I was very frustrated before starting and since our training sessions feel like a calmer owner. Ive had my 4 yr old pittie a little over a year and he has some quirks but is also more relaxed now that my commands are more clear.”
About: With 20 years of professional training experience and over 25 years in dog sports, I bring deep expertise in animal body language and behavior. I’m immersed in the professional dog training community, maintaining strong relationships with local training facilities and staying up to date through certifications and continuing education. My specialty is working with sensitive and reactive dogs, understanding their unique needs, and helping them gain confidence through positive, science-based methods.
“Brittney has ben monumental in our dog Scout's training progress. Brittney has been beyond patient with her, providing consistency and positivity, both of which have proven to be critical for Scout's learning. (Even when we struggled to do the same.) It feels really good to know that we have someone that we trust who will love and support Scout through all her ups and downs. She has proven to be a very tricky dog to work with for a variety of reasons, but Brittney has never given up and it shows. She is great and we definitely recommend 100%!”
“Our dog literally tap dances with excitement when he's meeting Cyrus! Seeing how they greet each other with a big hug says it all. It doesn't matter whether they are going out on adventures, having new socialization experiences, or staying together for a couple of weeks; we trust Cyrus to take brilliant care of our dog because he is always kind, empathetic, engaging, and patient with him.”
About: I combine professional knowledge with genuine compassion for both dogs and their people. I’ve dedicated years to studying canine behavior, while also recognizing that every family’s journey is unique. I don’t just teach cues — I help guardians understand their dog’s behavior and provide tools that make life easier. My goal is to support both ends of the lead with clear communication, ongoing guidance, and a safe, judgment-free space.
“Training my puppy was difficult, until I met Dallas...he was godsend. Took the time to explain and practice with me and my dog. Wrote notes for personalized training, and do follow up visits. I am a happy pet parent and my dog is happy too.”

Dog Training FAQs
Frequently asked questions about Rover
Trainers listing on Rover must be credentialed dog trainers, commit to reward-based training methods, and pass a background check to offer dog training in Vancouver.
Reward-based training encourages dogs to offer desired behaviors by reinforcing the behavior with something the dog likes; treats, play, or toys. Reward-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!
Rover makes it easy to find Vancouver dog trainers to provide loving care from their own home. The background-checked, 5-star trainers you can find on Rover will work with you and your dog to build new skills and address behaviors. Dog trainers can work on:
- Puppy training, adult dog training, agility training, clicker training and advanced training.
- Behaviors such as barking, leash manners, leash reactivity, house manners, jumping, fearful behavior, anxious behavior, separation distress, recall, biting, chewing, mouthiness, potty training and resource guarding.
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.
We get it—sometimes plans change and you may need to cancel your dog training service. You can cancel an upcoming booking directly from the Rover app or your computer, in accordance with your trainer’s cancellation policy.
