Welcome

Welcome to Aurum Canine Services, home of, "The Golden Standard"

Offering complimentary lifetime support on any training provided!

We specialize in Obedience Training, Private Training, and Service Dog Training. I love to facilitate the human and animal bond! I believe in adapting training to the dog and the client. Every individual is unique and deserves better than the typical "cookie cutter training."

I use positive motivation methods to train your pet or service dog. I believe training should be a desirable experience, fun for both the pet and their human! I believe that a bond will be developed through training, and your dog will thank you for it!

-Dana, Program Director

Our Services

Day trip Training

While your away at work, do you want your dog to have an adventure exploring the world and having training to engage his mind? We offer day trips throughout the week for them with delegated excursion in the Twin Cities Metro. Dog Friendly Dogs only please!

Private Training

Having some issues with barking, jumping, or leash manners? Is your dog's behavior an embarrassment when out in public or while having guests over? We can help with that! We offer private training to have to show off your perfect canine companion! With three different programs of training - such as our Safe Dog Package, as well as a la carte options, we can help take away the stress and worry that you are currently challenged with!

Puppy Training

Set your puppy off on the right paw! We offer training to get the little ones on board so they can be "fantastic furry family members". With our Good Puppy Jumpstart program, puppies and their owners are given tools to learn crate training, loose leash walking, and guides to socialization to get the desired behavior!

Check-ins

While you are at work, do you want to have your pet let out for some play time and training to engage his mind? We offer training with daily check ins for your convenience for the south metro!

Service dog training & certification

Our passion is training service dogs for those with psychiatric disabilities - both for civilians and veterans. We currently have several dogs going through our training process following the International Association of Assistance Dog Partners industry standards which includes 6 months of Public Access Training (with 120 documented hours of public access training) and the Public Access Test. We are currently accepting applications for our trained partners!

We also have the option of training dogs that have the attributes of a service dog who's disabled needs help training them to become a service dog. They must be able to pass the American Kennel Club's Canine Good Citizen's test prior to any public access training as well as have a doctor's note supporting the use of a service dog. Please inquire for additional information!

Board & TraiN

We are now offering board and training for your convenience. Our minimum sessions will start at 14 days and will be tailored to your and your pet's needs! With our Board and Train program, we offer Bonus Extra Training, which is if you ever need refresher, you can schedule a day for additional complimentary training!

“With 3 big dogs we needed some assistance to say the very least. We stumbled across Aurum Canine Services and fell in love with all that Dana, head trainer, had to offer. We saw immediate improvements and were hooked - the progress we are seeing is just phenomenal... One of our dogs, Marvel - we rescued from a very horrible situation and because of his ability to help me at home already and with the encouragement from a medical professional we have begun training him to become a service dog through Aurum, and are enjoying the journey already! Dana is a true talent and all around great person to work with!”

Meet The Trainer

Dana Daniels

Hello, my Dana Daniels and I am a Professional dog trainer. I have been in the field of animal medicine since 2006. I started out rescuing animals since I was a young child - I was the kid who went into storm drain for a lost, forgotten kitten, being involved in rescue and transport of dogs across the country to new homes, etc. I started becoming greatly involved in training when I required a service dog of my own. I then learned what it takes and since then, have donated a rescued litter of puppies that I had bottle-fed and hand-raised to a service dog organization.

I was a puppy trainer for a local obedience club and have spent years honing my training skills to be better tailored to humans and their pets. I love to facilitate the human and animal bond. I believe in adapting training to the dog and the client. Every individual is unique and deserves better than "cookie cutter training."

All of my training comes with Complimentary Lifetime Support!
