Ohana Canine Training

Each training program begins with an in-depth in-home evaluation to assess the dog’s behavior and the owner’s goals. A custom training plan is then created, followed by private, in-home sessions focused on real-world obedience and behavior modification. Training emphasizes rewards-based methods, household leadership, and science-based learning. Clients receive homework and ongoing support to reinforce progress. Programs are flexible and can be adjusted for multiple dogs or complex behavioral issues.

Ohana Canine Training is a professional dog training service led by Gavin Ehringer, a certified trainer and behaviorist with over 10 years of experience.
