Customer Reviews
Lauren is patient and thoughtful in her approach with my nervous Pitty mix, Apollo. She has a lot of experience with canines that have issues with dog reactivity and anxiety. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to start of on the right foot with their pup, or work on existing behavioral issues. - Eugene, Oregon
- JoAnna MJesse helped us work on anxious behaviors that our dog Lemon was displaying. We had a baby last year, and we were concerned we wouldn't be able to keep Lemon if we couldn't redirect her nervous energy. After working with Jesse, that is no longer on the table! Lemon is now comfortable in our house, handles having a baby around her well, and can even enjoy going to a park. She's a completely different dog now, and it's all thanks to Jesse. They really understood Lemon's anxious energy and how to combat it with positive reinforcement and gentle exposure to her fears. Lemon is happier. We are happier. If you're debating hiring a trainer for your dog and if it's worth it, please know that it is 100% worth it! We couldn't be more pleased with our experience and more grateful for the outcomes. Lemon says thank you for all the fun training, good games, tasty treats, and for believing in her!
- Johanna JWe rescued a 4 year old german shepherd mix who is amazing with our young kids and little dog. Little did we know he is highly leash reactive and a 80lb pup who is frightened by most anything new. This made walking him very hard (and stressful). Lauren helped give us many positive reinforcement tools to help lower Zeus's response to new stimuli and get out of situations quickly that were just too much for our big guy. Whether training over Zoom or in person, Lauren was knowledgeable, attentive, and a joy to be around. I have nothing but positive things to say about our experience with her. Thank you, Lauren! - Cottage Grove, Oregon
- Ashley KLauren is a true dog lover and trainer. You can tell just by the way she talks about it, that she has a real passion for helping those in need. She’s so caring, patient, and has such a natural talent. I would recommend her to absolutely everyone who asks for help with their dog’s behavior.

Recommended Certifications for Dog Trainers
When choosing a dog trainer, professional certifications are a strong indicator of expertise, experience, and commitment to ethical, science-based methods. Widely recognized credentials include the CPDT-KA or CPDT-KSA from the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers, which demonstrate mastery of modern training techniques, canine behavior, and learning theory. The KPA-CTP (Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner) highlights trainers skilled in positive reinforcement and clicker training, while the IAABC Certified Dog Trainer credential, recognized internationally, signals advanced knowledge in behavior modification and problem-solving. Membership or certification through the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT) further reflects ongoing education and adherence to ethical standards. Many trainers also pursue specialty certifications in areas such as aggression management, behavior modification, or puppy development to address specific challenges.
For pet parents, choosing a certified trainer like Lauren Rubin is one way to keep training grounded in science, safety, and compassion. Asking about credentials, and confirming them on the profile, is one of the best ways to make a confident choice.

Most dog training sessions across the U.S. typically range from $75–$150 per hour, depending on experience, location, and training type. On PetWorks, you can review the services on this profile and choose the option that matches your goals.
All payments are processed securely through PetWorks. Every booking also includes PetWorks Care Coverage, with a dedicated concierge team, added protection, and support throughout your experience. Once you connect, you coordinate scheduling, location, and training goals directly with your trainer.

Can dog training help with aggressive or reactive behavior? Yes. Positive, science-based training can be very effective for reactivity, fear, and certain forms of aggression. A certified professional helps keep that progress safe and lasting.
