What Clients Are Saying

Dionne truly is the 3rd member of Team Disco!! She was there for us when we decided to move to private training for Nosework, and her knowledge and expertise of "the game" enabled her to tailor our training to the individual needs of my dog. This is exactly what we needed, and our goals count not be accomplished without her.

Dionne is excellent at what she does. She really helped my Belgian Malinois and me with nose work. She is very easy to understand and work with. She not only understands the dog but also the human and how to turn nose work into a delightful job for my working dog and me!

Team Django & Joseph

Dog Owner

I started training with Dionne for Scentwork, my veteran dog Koala because Koala has limited mobility and I had to pull her from other dog sports. I wanted to continue to keep her mind sharp, her body active, and to have fun. Dionne is extremely receptive to our goals and is flexible to our needs. I appreciate the accountability that Dionne provides to our team and is one of the major reasons why we have been successful in our trials. Dionne is the complete package when it comes to a trainer; providing structure, wisdom, success, and memories that last.

Dog Owner

Training with Ohana Hina has been a wonderful experience for both me and my five-year-old Vizsla, Kara. I started Nose Work training with Dionne to help boost Kara’s confidence, and it's been incredible to see her come out of her shell. Kara loves the sport and gets excited when she finds a hide. Dionne has provided us with a solid foundation, making us successful in our training. She also supports us during trials and has made us feel like part of a family.
