Owner Jennifer L.
Dog: Molly and Mylo
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.

German Shepherd named Kobe
I reached out to Ohana Dog Training after I found an abused GSD in need of a safe and loving home. At first I couldn’t get near Kobe (GSD) . He bit me on the leg and I had decided this wasn’t a good fit.. however my lovely lady and I talked it over and we decided to give training a try. Raylynn came and evaluated Kobe and told us her training partner in Utah would be better suited due to Kobe's bite history and level of aggression. That’s when we met Glen…in short, Glen did an amazing job with Kobe! I’m able to walk with him now, pet him, play, etc…. He’s still a work in progress but we’re earning his trust and he’s settling into his new environment. Each and every day he shows improvement! Thank you Raylynn and Glen for helping me save Kobe!!!

Dog: Duke
The best dog trainer! Highly recommending!!!
Raylynn is the best and helped our family a lot with training Duke, our Belgian Malinois. Raylynn is super knowledgeable, has a lot of experience and put extraordinary patience into teaching us how to handle a such energetic dog. Raylynn went beyond our expectations and came with helpful solutions when we didn't know what to do. We cannot thank you her enough!

Dog: Bruno (Rottweiler)
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.

Dog: Oatmeal
Miracle worker!! ❤️ we took our dog Oatmeal to Raylynn because he had severe separation anxiety. We couldn’t leave him at home alone without him barking from the second we left to the moment we got home, which was impacting our lifestyles. Before Raylynn my only option was to bring him to work with me each day and everywhere I went, as our neighbors were impacted. Oatmeal went to Raylynn for a two-week board and train to work on this. We came back to a whole new dog as well as the tools and knowledge for us to continue it. We had never successfully been able to crate train him before Raylynn and now he loves and goes into his crate often on his own, and we are able to leave him home alone without him barking. I don’t know why we waited so long to do this, as this has changed our lives, and oatmeal’s life, for the better. He is now a confident and independent boy, and I now know all my prior pitfalls to not get him into the same bad habits. The first day I took oatmeal back to work after the board and train I had five different coworkers comment on how confident and different he acted - and none of them knew I had even taken him to training! The biggest part is that Raylynn spent 3 hours with us at our home teaching us everything we needed to know to maintain his behavior. This was the best decision I have made - thank you Raylynn!!

Dog: Juniper
Raylynn has been wonderful! We attempted every dog training tool and watched every YouTube video, but we still dreaded each walk with our pup, Juniper, knowing that it was going to be a stressful experience full of pulling, lunging, and barking at other dogs. After a few weeks with Raylynn, she was completely different, and we were much better trained to make sure we were in control of the situation. 5/5 stars - highly recommended!

Owner Rijee
Dog: Jackson (Pitbull)
Raylynn at Ohana Dog Training was a miracle worker. My 8-year-old rescue Jackson had major leash aggression, barking constantly and jumping our fence to wonder the neighborhood. Which is not the greatest when you are an 80-pound pit bull mix. We were either gonna be sued, he would be euthanized or hit by a car. This was our only hope at keeping everyone safe and me sane. After the 4-week board and train Jackson is a different dog. Thanks to Raylynn I am also a strong pack leader and better able to communicate with Jackson in a way that he understands. I didn't realize that my anxiety was causing his aggression. I can walk my dog safely, LIFE IS GOOD! Kudos to Raylynn and Ohana Dog Training

Dog: Rocky (French bulldog)
Owner Shelley
5-star training and staff! My puppy was a nightmare when we first got her, but she came home from the puppy training course like a brand-new dog. After my pups training, they offered me and my son handlers training which I have never even heard of and boy it has helped tremendously!! We always feel so comfortable when our puppy is in their care. We've boarded with Ohana three times, and our pup comes home happy and freshly groomed every time.
Thanks a million

Owner Claire
Dog: Tatoe (pitbull)
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.

Dog: Zap
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 long 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.
