what our clients are saying about us…
We pride ourselves on being there as much for the dog in training, as we are for being there for the human who loves them. Please feel free to look at a couple testimonials from some of our amazing clients!
Chelsie M.
“Our boys Ehu & Ollie have been working with Ash & Makana for about a year now, and "Kaulike" is probably the most perfect name for them. The perfect balance begins with themselves and resonates through their business, their structured plans, everything that they do with our pups and teach us and other dog owners. They're truly passionate about dogs and their jobs as trainers, and really just want to see you and your dog succeed.”
“There aren't words to explain how grateful I am to have the Kaulike K9 pack be a part of our lives. I'm a "first time" dog owner (not including a childhood dog) and let's be honest, I didn't have the slightest idea on what to do with a reactive dog. They have guided and supported my pup and I throughout our private lessons and continues to support our journey. Brock loves his Aunty and Unko so much, and we'll miss them after leave Hawaii.”

“Makana and Ashley have years of experience with dogs. They are friendly patient and very compassionate at what the do… Their prices are great for what they do and they offer package deals.”
Camille C.
“The strides we've made so far have been enormous. Just the strategies they've devised for Luca… have been HUGE! And it took a lot of pivoting on their end to tailor a strategy that's going to work out the best for his particular sensitivities. We often look back at it now and wondered where we'd be if we'd done the kind of training Makana and Ashley offer first instead.”
“Our Lii girl has just started hanging with Ashley, Makana and the rest of the pack and she LOVES it! The humans (us) love the convenience and how friendly and professional Ashley and Makana are. I never worry when Lii is with them because I know she's in good hands. Mahalo, Kaulike K9!”
Kawena L.
“I could go on for hours about how much I love Ashley and Makana! I want to start out by saying that they are so dedicated to the pets they work with and truly care if the dogs actually progress vs it being a mass turn around… 10000000% recommend to anyone who really wants to see their dog become a healthier version of themselves.”
Ashley S.
“There's not enough words that can express how grateful and happy we are that Ashley and Makana decided to start up Kaulike K9.”
“The pups and I love these guys ! We wouldn't know what to do without them… We can't recommend these guys enough!”
Keola Y.
“Sharing my life with a highly intelligent & reactive herding dog is not an easy task. There were moments I shed tears thinking that I failed my dog to build a relationship with her.
Luckily I found Ashley & Makana through dog friends on IG who were working with them already… All the tips, training and expertise they shared with me, helped flourish a better relationship & understanding with my pup.”
Sachi Y.
“Nobody tells you when you become pawrents to four dogs just how hard it will be to lead a pack you love so much. For the past three years, our household has been a whirlwind of chaos, as we've struggled to create structure in our daily lives and manage the unique needs of each dog. Every pack walk ended in frustration and embarrassment, and I swore I'd never walk more than one dog at a time again. Night after night, I went to bed feeling like I was failing them because I couldn't spend four hours a day walking each dog individually.
Then, we met Ash and Makana of Kaulike K9, and for the first time ever, we have structure and are experiencing the joy of walking… I truly thought this day would never come! In just a few training sessions, they got us here. We know there’s still work ahead, but for the first time, we have HOPE.
Ashley and Makana are extremely knowledgeable, highly experienced, and they train by leveraging how dogs think. Their kindness, patience, and encouragement make all the difference… Their passion for helping people and their pups thrive together is so evident. Ash is just days away from giving birth, and she still came out to train us! That’s how dedicated they are!
Last night, I went to bed smiling, knowing that we can give our dogs what they need while also taking care of ourselves.”
