About Kaulike K9, LLC

Kaulike K9, LLC is an Ewa Beach dog training and behavior modification company whose owners and head trainers are Ashley and Makana. They take a relationship-based, communication-driven approach grounded in modern canine psychology, and to them the word "Kaulike" means to balance and harmonize. The business opened in April 2022. Ashley has worked in the animal industry for the last 16 years, and both trainers worked in daycare, boarding and animal clinic settings on O'ahu before starting it.
