“My puppy adores Kim and is so happy when she comes over for training sessions. Kim has been extremely helpful and always gives me typed up notes after our sessions so I remember what we worked on and what to focus on in my free time with my puppy. Could not recommend enough! She has made training so much easier and I wouldn’t be able to do it without her!”
“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!”
“Haylee was amazing and helped us so much with our puppy! She was very punctual and on time for visits, communicative and professional and she knew what she was doing! Highly recommend.”
“Before working with Devin, my Maltipoo, Yurei, was overexcited, difficult to walk, and reactive around other dogs. His positive reinforcement, behavior-based training approach transformed both her behavior and my understanding of her. Yurei is now calm, responsive, walks beautifully on a loose leash, and can comfortably be around other dogs. Devin's ability to strengthen our relationship and teach effective communication was incredible. In just a few sessions, he completely changed my experience as a dog owner. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking lasting results.”
About: I have a genuine curiosity about dog behavior and love learning what motivates each dog so I can tailor training to their unique personality. I also work in industrial design and user experience, where observation, problem-solving, and understanding behavior are at the core of my work. I bring that same mindset to training. I've been caring for dogs for more than three years and have two dogs of my own. My goal is to help you better understand your dog, strengthen your relationship, and make life together easier.
“We’ve worked with Misty since summer, and she’s been amazing with my three cockapoos (one adult and two sibling pups). She helped us with leash training, barking, and manners — but more importantly, she trained me to be a more confident dog mom. The progress has been incredible, and one pup now qualifies for service work. Highly recommend! 🐾”
“Petra has by far the most experience of anyone that I know in loving and caring for animals. Over the years I've seen her take care of horses, chickens, ducks, rabbits, and of course many different breeds of dogs. Petra's dog, Millie, is a great example of her as a trainer. Millie is wonderfully behaved, she comes as soon as Petra calls her, and doesn't bark at other dogs. Millie is also very healthy and athletic, and is able to do way more tricks that I can keep track of. I would highly recommend Petra as a pet caregiver.”
“Zoe has been incredibly helpful with our large older dog and small puppy. She’s prepared, thorough, and great with the pups. Really looking forward to working with her more!”
“Kristof is extremely knowledgeable, and was able to not only teach our pup but also us as the owners, correct progressions and proper training. He provides valuable insight on why he is teaching what he’s teaching, and provides useful feedback. Our pup enjoyed the lesson and we learned quite a lot! Will definitely be booking again :)”
“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!”
“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!!!!”
“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.”
“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”
“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.”
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!
“Laura has worked with our dog multiple times over the years. She was part of a team that trained him as a therapy dog. Her understanding of dog behavior and psychology is top notch. She helped us identify the causes of any behavior issues and showed us how to solve them through positive reinforcement, consistency, and meeting his needs. I can honestly say that she really helped me see things "from the dog point of view" and made me a better dog owner.”
“Natalie loves dogs. And dog companions. She's gentle, unhurried, and knowledgeable. I found her a good teacher and an innovative problem solver My rescue..Shadow had a reactive, anxious personality. Over time, with Natalie's help she calmed down.”
“To be honest, this went a lot better than we expected because we really thought our puppy was too hardheaded to learn. Can’t wait to see improvements on more sessions!”
“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!”
About: 2 hour initial session, follow-up 90-minute sessions. 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.
“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.
