“Kim is amazing!! She was able to help our dog Tofu learn quick as a puppy and I’m so relieved!! We got the puppy package and it was such a great investment!!”
“This session was so fun! I learned so much. Even the smallest of direction and advice helps with my confidence in training. Blue had a blast working with Casaundra outside today!”
“Kristof did a great job during our training session today. He gave us a lot of information that is very helpful with us thinking more like a pup, and even some printed notes for us to review. He was also very patient with my wife’s and daughter’s questions. We will keep using his expertise to make us better dog parents :)”
“Ryder (our 3-year-old male Samoyed) has responded so well to the positive reinforcement training Zoe taught us. We were struggling with being pulled around on walks and with Ryder barking for attention, and Zoe has been incredibly helpful every step of the way. She’s super communicative and always clear about what to try, what to avoid reinforcing, and what not to reward—plus she’s genuinely kind and so easy to understand. It’s been such a wonderful experience working with her, and I truly trust her expertise in helping us support our sweet pup.”
“Misty is wonderful! She trained my diabetic service dog and made my every day so much easier. Helping to not only harmonize my dog and I’s life but also give him all the tools he needed to save the day!! Thank you Misty!!!”
About: What sets me apart is my focus on real-life results and clear communication. I don’t just teach cues — I help dogs understand how to make better choices in everyday situations. I pay close attention to body language and stress signals, break skills into manageable steps, and build reliability around real-world distractions. My goal isn’t just obedience — it’s confidence, clarity, and a stronger relationship between you and your dog.
“Raven is AMAZING!!! He used to groom one of our dogs so it was so nice to see a familiar face! He was also so reassuring about our training and so fun and easy to talk to!! Thank you Raven!!!!”
“Leaving our stubborn, fearful dog is never easy, but our dog sitter, Monique was absolutely amazing! She was so patient, caring, and took the time to make him feel safe and comfortable. She sent pictures every day and updated us after every walk, which gave us so much peace of mind. We came home to a happy pup and are so grateful for the wonderful care she gave him. We highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again!”
“It’s a pleasure to write this testimonial for Laura! She has been helping us train our Aussie pup (a wonderful but highly energetic and somewhat reactive dog). Laura’s deep understanding of dog behavior has given us invaluable insights into our pup’s psychology, and she has tailored his training program to fit his unique needs. Thanks to her guidance, our home and outings have become much calmer and more predictable. Laura is patient and encouraging, and her positive approach makes the training process effective and enjoyable. I recommend her to anyone seeking the highest quality training!”
About: Training is really about keeping pets safe & happy. Ultimately, I teach them cues and behaviors that accomplish this. When they learn these cues, such as sit & stay, they can learn some fun cues too such as shake!
“Tess is very organized trainer . The first session demonstrated immediate results and was left with a pamphlet of explanations and exercise. Well done. Buffy will be much better because this training protocol is so well orchestrated”
“Lori was a true blessing helping us with several behavioral issues we had with our two adopted dogs. Our two dogs had very different training needs and Lori worked with our dogs along with us to resolve their behavioral issues. We really appreciated Lori listening to our needs and creating an individualized training plan for both our family and our two dogs.”
“I’ve had the pleasure of observing Kyla training dogs on many occasions, whether it be a working dog doing explosives detection training, protection work, narcotics detection or training her own personal pets for basic obedience and commands. Kyla is consistent, innovative and firm, all while demonstrating patience, playfulness and a great desire for each animal to succeed in training. She has a vast knowledge of animal behaviors and body language which has aided her in being such a successful handler and trainer.”
“Cadence has worked with dogs for many many years. And she trained our blue healer when she was a puppy. She used positive reinforcement. She crate trained our dog, as well as leash training as well as recall and off leash training. She also taught our dog all of her basic obedience. She also taught her a few bonus tricks.”
About: My training approach goes beyond surface-level issues by focusing on the whole dog to address the root of behaviors. I consider body language, routine, environment, exercise, mental stimulation, nutrition, social history, and family dynamics, because real change happens when all factors are addressed. Since it’s tough to remember every detail from each session, I provide detailed notes with purchase links, training reminders, a homework list, and clear instructions developed over hundreds of hours.
“Rosa was a lifeline for me when I was struggling with my (at the time) 6-month-old German Shepherd puppy. Over the course of seven private sessions, Rosa gave me and Biscuit concrete exercises to work on that helped me manage what had felt overwhelming and at times even impossible. But more importantly, Rosa's commitment to positive reinforcement training helped me see my dog with new eyes. I learned to appreciate that Biscuit's reactions were valuable cues, not nuisances, and that improved our relationship so much. I would not hesitate to recommend Rosa to anyone, from first-time guardians to seasoned handlers, looking to explore positive ways of training your dog!”
“Natalie is very kind, patient, and positive in her training, with dogs and their person(s)! She understands the causes of dog behavior and has incredible skills in addressing any issue. We highly recommend her!”
“Haley was great with Livia and assisted with behaviors such as barking, jumping, and biting. She was communicative with us and we would 100% work with her again if needed!”

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 Aurora.
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 Aurora 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.
