About Ohana Dog Training
At Ohana Dog Training, “Ohana” means family and that’s exactly how we treat every dog we work with.
Our mission is to create calm, well-balanced dogs through clear structure, positive engagement, and consistent leadership.
Whether you’re struggling with leash manners, reactivity, or obedience, we guide both dog and human toward lasting harmony at home and in the world.
Our Philosophy
Our primary goal is on developing a human/dog relationship built on respect, trust, and fairness. By creating lines of clear communication in a positive learning environment that will follow you long after your dog leaves our care.
We provide structure, support, clarity, and consistency throughout training to help your dog understand our “language”. Because we are Balanced Trainers, we do not limit ourselves to only one method of training, nor do we limit ourselves to using certain training, tools, techniques, or rewards.
We make training balanced, fun, and fair, using everything in our tool bag to our advantage and to achieve the best possible results. We will evaluate the dog, and the needs of the owner and implement a customized training plan.

Balanced Training, Real Results
We believe every dog deserves clear guidance, structure, and understanding—not just commands. Our approach blends compassionate leadership with proven methods to create calm, confident dogs who thrive both at home and in public. Whether it’s leash manners, reactivity, or confidence building, we focus on lasting transformation—not quick fixes.
Communication and Trust First
Training starts with trust. We teach owners how to communicate clearly and calmly, helping dogs feel safe and understood. Every session is designed to strengthen your bond and empower both you and your dog to work as a team. Because great behavior starts with great communication.
Real-World Training for Real Life
We don’t just train in a controlled space—we take learning into the real world. From Mukilteo’s waterfront trails to Snohomish parks and Bellevue cafés, our dogs practice calm, focused behavior in the environments where it matters most. This ensures confident, reliable responses anywhere you go.
