Au'roar'a - Dog Friendly Trainers, Behaviourists & Clubs in Birmingham, West Midlands

Auroara offers professional dog training and behaviour support for owners in Birmingham and Solihull. Led by Dawn, a dedicated trainer and behaviourist-in-training, the service focuses on positive reinforcement to strengthen the bond between dogs and their families across various settings.

One-to-One Training
Personalised sessions are tailored to each dogs needs, whether addressing basic obedience, loose-lead walking, or specific behavioural concerns such as overexcitement or recall challenges. Conducted in your home or local environment, these one-to-one appointments allow Dawn to assess individual triggers, set clear communication cues, and design a structured plan that improves skills and builds confidence through engaging, reward-based exercises.

Group Classes
Auroara runs the Kennel Club Good Citizen Dog Scheme at two Birmingham venues. Classes meet at Haymills Community Centre every Monday and Friday at 6:00pm, and at St Giles Church every other Tuesday at 6:00pm. Covering levels from Puppy Foundation through Bronze, Silver, and Gold, these group sessions help dogs master manners, socialisation, and reliable responses in a supportive environment under professional guidance. Each level builds on the last with a mix of obedience challenges, attention drills, problem-solving tasks, and supervised socialisation exercises to ensure well-rounded development.

Dachshund Dog Training Club
Tailored specifically for dachshunds, this breed-focused class meets every Wednesday at 7:00pm at Monkspath Community Centre. The course addresses the breeds unique instincts, motivations, and communication styles, delivering practical advice, targeted exercises, and handler techniques to manage common challenges such as stubbornness and prey drive. Participants learn positive reinforcement techniques suited to the breeds spirited nature, promoting greater engagement and reducing stress-related behaviours.

Qualifications & Expertise
Dawn is fully insured, DBS checked, and trained in Canine First Aid. She has completed Level 3 accreditation with the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers, covering modules in learning theory, motivation and reinforcement, breed and predatory motor patterns, canine adolescence, safety and risk assessments, and working with stress and trauma.
