“Kim is really sweet! Our doggie really seemed to like her she was able to teach our puppy something new within minutes and he’s kept it up so she’s highly recommended.”
“Camryn was absolutely wonderful in making sure all my questions were answered sufficiently and that all my concerns were put at ease. She is very on top of training techniques and laid out clear plans for all the objectives I asked to achieve through training, and took time to make sure that everything was being covered adequately. She is wonderful with interacting with my pup as well. I’m looking forward to regularly working with her with my puppy!”
“Sophie is a remarkably skilled and intuitive dog trainer. She brings a rare blend of insight, empathy, and clear communication to her work—both with dogs and with their people. My dog is very wary of strangers, yet Sophie handled him with such patience and respect. She read his body language effortlessly, gave him space when he needed it, and helped him feel safe every step of the way. Her guidance is clear, her ideas are creative, and she always keeps the dog’s wellbeing at the center of everything she does. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.”
“Raven has helped me with me two dogs. One started off extremely low confidence, unmotivated and afraid of everything. He educated me on what body language to look for and how to redurect his behavior to make things a more positive expirence. He is always very upfront, friendly and punctual when it has come to our sessions and I couldn't ask for a better trainer!”
“Shauna is a very competent dog trainer. My dog and I have known Shauna for over 8 years. Through the years she has assisted in training us both. Shauna cultivates a positive working relationship between dog and owner. Shauna is a very caring, tenderhearted yet confident, competent and calm in her abilities to create a working relationship between dog and owner. If you are willing to invest, Shauna will do the same. A hard worker not taking responsibilities lightly, Shauna is well worth the investment to help train your dog.”
“Kristof was very patient and calm with my pup’s crazy jumping! He put a lot of detail into a written email follow up for a recap and help for continuous training I can do. I really appreciate the clear plan and all the guidance.”
“I had the opportunity to work with Laura through Freedom Service dogs of America, my dog was having issues and I needed extra help . After having my dog fitted for a harness Laura worked with me to help my dog stay on track and not drag me . She was very professional she was very kind and caring she gave positive reinforcement . I personally would not hesitate for one moment to enlist her help again with any dog that I may own in the near future . I feel she's very qualified and knowledgeable .”
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!
“Brooklyn was knowledgeable and gentle with my dog. He was very sweet, patient and informative. He really wants to help and showed dedication and commitment in the first session.”
“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”
“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!!!”
“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.”
“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.”
About: Having both an academic background from one of the top vet schools in the country and hands on experience helping hundreds of dog guardians find resolutions in easing their pets maladaptive behaviors, I also have a background in anthropological and society studies! I believe in a "One Health" approach - when your dog feels better, you feel better! If YOU feel better, our communities can collectively heal to feel happy, safe, and supported. I believe in championing underdog. I help the misunderstood become understood and can't wait for you to come aboard!
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.
“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.”
“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!”

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.
