This past week, my two toy poodles completed their 8-week board-and-train puppy program at Ohana K9 with trainer Tobin. They started the program just shy of 5 months old. We chose Ohana K9 after looking at reviews online, and when we reached out with questions, they were very prompt, professional, and kind over the phone and via text. The facility is clean and very well maintained. When we toured the facility, all the dogs were healthy and happy. They had multiple staff members tending to the dogs in kennels and outside. Our trainer, Tobin, is nothing short of amazing! He did such a great job with our boys over the weeks, and the pups made great progress throughout the program. They can now do all basic commands, they’re great on a leash, they’re much more social, and can recall and heel, with the potential for off-leash walking. Tobin is a great communicator and gave us daily updates and videos of what the dogs were working on and how they were doing. You can genuinely tell he cares about and loves our pups! They use the Gingr app for scheduling and progress reports, but if it was glitchy, he would just text us to ensure we were updated. If you choose to do this program, my only recommendation is that you make sure to continue and reinforce the training when your dog is home. Your dog is at board-and-train from Monday through Thursday, so it is vital to reinforce the training when the dog is home with you. When you pick up your dog, you receive a lesson and instructions on what to do at home. We really enjoyed having our pups at Ohana K9 and plan to take them back for the adult program to continue building on what they learned in the puppy program. I can’t say enough great things about all the trainers, kennel techs, and employees at this facility! They have great teamwork and genuinely love the dogs and what they do.
