Ohana Dog Training LLC.

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 he was outside of her scope of training, but she knew a gentleman in Utah who could help. 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 in to his new environment. Each and every day he shows improvement! Thank you Raylynn and Glen for helping me save Kobe!!!

I am new using Ohana Dog Training. Raylynn and her "team" (including her beloved dogs) offered us an amazing first time experience, even in just a few short lessons. With her vast knowledge and simple directions, I have built more confidence in myself and gained valuable tools that have already changed how I'm interacting with two very strong-willed dogs. The dogs actually caught on to the commands immediately and are responding great. With some practice, I will be right where I want to be and we will all have more enjoyable walks in no time! I highly recommend Ohana for any training needs you may have.

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!!

BEWARE OF BOARD AND TRAINING AT OHANA K9 Seattle! The facility, and experience couldn’t be more different than the website! By looking at, and reading the website i envisioned a light, happy, dog loving trainer, and experience. What I experienced was a small, dark, home training location, with a crabby trainer that didn’t want to talk with us, even the first meeting at drop off, and didn’t even greet our pup. I was refused 100% transparency through the entire 2 weeks. Raelynn wouldn’t let us in her home to see the conditions where our dog was going to be held. Why? Because, “It’s my home.” Well, it’s also a home business that deals with people in person, and people leaving their beloved pets. Although, children are obviously on an entirely different level, all I could think about is a home daycare that wouldn’t let you in. I should have walked away at this first red flag. Upon asking many times, I never got a photo of his crate, or the exact location where he was sleeping. I got random photos of the living room, and a corner of a room where there was a holding pen, barely large enough to lay in, and devoid of any toys or water. The lack of transparency continued from there, all calls were being recorded without my consent, I found this out when her assistant accidentally told me. Recording calls without consent is illegal in the state of Washington, and carries a fine of up to $5000, or up to one year in jail. I wasn’t told she had walkers, and other people helping her with training, who are these people? What is their past, and present treatment of animals? I didn’t get phone updates as the contract stated I would. I made the mistake of calling her the day after we dropped Blu off to see how he did overnight, and was greeted with contempt, and chastised for calling on a day outside the prearranged weekly day. I had to call Raelynn, and each time I was supposed to get an update, and even then she was brusk, curt, and acted like I was bothering and inconveniencing her. But, how was his training? He went to Raelynn knowing, sit, wait, down, paw, and up. We needed help with jumping, and leash pulling. She, or I have no idea who, worked on these things, and in addition, he learned to sit at thresholds. He pulled less on the leash, , but still jumped when greeting people. I chose the board and train option, because I’m in a wheelchair, and his 74 lb weight behind his hyper puppy behavior, like jumping ETC. was becoming dangerous for me. Unfortunately, our already bad experience ended even worse. I pulled Blu at two weeks out of the three weeks I’d paid for, resulting in a financial loss of around a $1000. I’d rather know what’s going on with my dog with 100% transparency, than leave him at a facility with a crabby trainer, and who know what else he’s is going on. Hopefully, she’s updated her contract since we were there at the end of January/February 2024, to include some of the deficits, sketchy actions, lack of communication, and illegal behavior, I’ve included here. I know she was going to rent a facility for drop off and pick up, so now you don’t even get to see her home/facility, where your dog will be staying. The bottom line is, if you don’t care where your dog is, who he/she is with, and what condition he/she is staying in, this is the place for you. Otherwise, steer clear! Pick a happy dog loving trainer, that likes to let you know what’s going on, and is happy to offer transparency every step of the way.

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!
