I dont know any personally in Ohio but here are 2 sites that list trainers-1 site is just for the Midwest--

There are some good books on training that helps alot--if cant find a trainer or want to do the training yourself.
Larry Painter does clinics in Ohio at times-dont know if he has any there soon but well worth going to one of his clinics....usually 2-3 days. He is a good guy and good with all breeds of stockdogs.

Have Fun

Years as an Aussie Owner/Trainer Taught Me

Aussies tend to be "ONE Owner Dogs"

If they are bonded to you they will never work well for an out side Trainer.
If they Bond to the Trained they will never be you dog.

Story:
As a Aussie Breeder/Trainer I sold a pup of an age where it bonded well with its new owner.
She brought the dog back to me to train _ on going home they said the dog sulked and was never the Same.
They brought the Dog back, 2 Years Later, when they got to our front gate it bailed out of their Truck and ran our driveway and ended-up in my arms.
I only Trained "Aussie Owners" after that...
