Ohana Dog Training LLC.

The best!! I found OhanaK9 when I was looking for help with a rescue dog I was fostering. The pup was starting to show some signs of aggression toward newcomers to our house. Raylynn started with a home visit so she could see the reaction when someone entered the house and recommended a few different options of what we would need to do to address the behavior. We started with some half day lessons and I could see the improvement immediately. We ended up boarding the pup for a weekend due to some planned travel, and the day before pick-up, Raylynn contacted us asking if she could keep Molly for a few extra days at no charge to the rescue. She had seen such progress and wanted to work with us to ensure Molly was ready for adoption. Raylynn and her team became an integral part of Molly’s transformation from a stranger wary pup to one that was easily managed with the proper commands and established expectations. I am so happy we found her!!! Molly has settled in with her new family, and OhanaK9 is the only one I call for future training needs. Thank you OhanaK9.

This trainer was a godsend for me. My adopted dog was being very aggressive in my apartment building and even though I had trained on aggressive leash habits, I was basically operating with a defensive posture, endeavoring to avoid interactions instead of properly handling my dog. I learned this from Raylynn. Raylynn is a compassionate person and very ethical trainer. I liked that the animals were allowed to stay in the house and be a part of the family at times. Her updates really helped me to relax around the separation, as Zapata has anxiety issues. He took a ling time to adjust and Raylynn assured me that she would allow for flexibility in the program to adjust to his needs. Raylynn determined pretty quickly that the issues were centered around Zap and my interactions and so she made a plan to visit with him at my apartment building multiple times a week. The combo of her boarded training and visitation generated an amazing change in Zap’s behavior in a relatively short period of time. We were able to pinpoint residents Zap feared, and sometimes we got lucky and they participated in the training. It was wonderful! Raylynn’s approach showed a deep love for dogs, but a realistic approach to the way owners interface with their animals. I needed to become more in control and it took place through some pretty simple changes. Even so, I found myself feeling insecure and she read this right away. She focused upon giving me encouragement and pointers and reminders to stay mindful of my dog. This added touch, of meeting with me and Zap together, then leaving with Zap in tow, very much motivated Zap AND me to want to change to set things right. I feel so happy to give a high recommendation of Raylynn’s training abilities and this program. Additionally, Zap bonded with her and now I have a place where I can board Zap if I travel! I trust Raylynn’s program completely. I know you will feel good about choosing her, too.

We had the most incredible experience working with Raylynn as our dog trainer. She went above and beyond to ensure that our dog Tatoe received exceptional training, and also made sure we became knowledgeable and responsible dog owners. Raylynn's expertise, dedication, and genuine care for both Tatoe and us as owners were truly outstanding. From day one, Raylynn took the time to understand Tatoe's unique personality and needs, and provided us the education we needed to understand how best to support Tatoe and her reactivity. Her patience and calm demeanor created a positive learning environment that ultimately lead to Tatoe's ongoing progress. With a combination of training sessions, and boarding, we were able to receive valuable guidance, advice, and resources to strengthen our bond with Tatoe and enhance our overall dog handling skills. What truly sets Raylynn apart is her genuine care and the friendship we created. Raylynn and her husband welcomed us into their extended family, always ready to listen, share advice, and support us as fellow dog lovers. We cherish the bond we formed with them. Raylynn's professionalism, expertise, and passion for her work are commendable. With her help, Tatoe's behavior is night and day, and we grew into responsible owners. We feel incredibly fortunate to have crossed paths with Raylynn, and we highly recommend them to anyone seeking an exceptional dog trainer who goes the extra mile. The most impactful takeaway that I have had in this experience, is how much there is to learn as a dog owner. Specifically for Tatoe, and her reactivity, my own emotions and actions can dictate so much and Raylynn knew how to not only instill confidence in her, but also me. Thank you, Raylynn and Alan, for everything you've done for us and our sweet Tatoe! We adore you both so much and could not be more grateful.

OhanaK9 has been nothing but amazing to my dog and I. Staff has taught me as the handler on how to become a better pet owner. With their expertise and knowledge my leash aggressive rottweiler has calmed down a lot. Not only on leash but in the home as well to become a better companion. They helped fixed my dogs resource guarding as well. I have brought Bruno to a few other trainers in the past and nothing has really worked until OhanaK9 took him in! I highly recommended.
