She and Aurora earned the prestigious title of Rally National Champion by winning the 2020 AKC Rally National Championship.

Brianne believes that the key to any dog being a "good" dog is the bond between dog and owner. She has attended conferences and seminars with Karen Holik, Jen Pinder, Victory Hulett, Connie Cleveland, Pat Hastings, and more to broaden her knowledge and understanding of competition obedience and agility, dog behavior, and structure and movement. She loves to teach and help others succeed with their dogs. She hopes to pass on her enthusiasm and passion about dog training to her clients and their dogs.

Steph Cave
They/Them/She/Her

Steph comes to Aurora Dog Training after a varied and overlapping professional background including 10 years in animal health research, 3 years in human medical lab science, several seasons in professional theater, and experience in childcare and education. Though they grew up with dogs in the house, Steph really began their training journey in 2015 when they started fostering with the Athens Area Humane Society. They jumped in headlong with their oldest littermate pair Teddy and Luna, training both dogs in a variety of canine sports: scent work, rally, barn hunt, tricks, agility, and AKC Star Puppy. Over the years they have fostered 14 puppies, attended webinars in dog body language, multiple dog management, and challenges of impulse control, as well as taken classes with a number of trainers in the Athens and Atlanta Area including Lucky Dog Agility, Pawsitive Futures, Canine Country Academy, and Canine PhD.

Steph's primary area of focus is basic obedience and potty training for puppies as well as kennel training and enrichment having written SOP guidelines for kenneled dogs and developed a number of creative (and cost effective) enrichment strategies with the 4 dogs in their own home. They love helping people build lasting relationships of trust and effective communication with their dogs and are looking forward to learning more from Brianne which will allow them to handle more complex cases in the future.
