Tehachapi, CA
Ashley Ohmit has been working closely with dogs for over 10 years and has been a dog trainer for over a year. She is certified as of August 2020.
Training Philosophy
Ashley uses a science-based, humane approach to dog training called positive reinforcement training. This includes treats, toys, and fun. We focus on what the dog does instead of what the dog does “wrong”. She uses a clicker in her training, a clicker is a toy noisemaker. Animal trainers make use of the clicker as an event marker to mark a desired response. The sound of the clicker is an excellent marker because it is unique, quick, and consistent.
Services
Ashley offers individual training sessions that work for you and your dog. The number of sessions is based on what you are looking for… a constant training program or a 1-time session, where Ashley will give you the work to do and then you do it all on your own.

Customer Reviews
“Delightful Dogs has been instrumental in helping us with our dogs. We have learned behaviors like teaching them tolerance for each other and basic commands like sit, down and touch. Ashley is patient with our large Cane Corso puppy and older small dachshund. ” – Ali (Owner of Maddie and Daisy)
“My babies training with Delightful Dogs in Tehachapi. She has been with us for over a year. She has become part of the family. She comes to our home and works with any issues in the home, works on walking on a leash, teaches them “tricks” based on our need. Putting toys away, touch chin (for bedridden individuals), and any individual needs. She really knows and loves our dogs and they LOVE HER! She is really in the right business. If you need dog training or just want to make sure your babies are reaching their full potential, Ashley at Delightful Dogs, is amazing!! Trustworthy, professional and I think her prices are excellent. Thank you Ashley!”
– Theresa (Apollo and Aurora)

Positive reinforcement centers on rewarding preferred behaviors, ensuring a pleasant learning journey for your dog.

Results depend on factors like your dog's nature, the specific behaviors in question, and your training consistency. While many clients observe improvements in just a few sessions, it's crucial to be patient and persistent.
