Our story

Nestled in the beautiful Yakima Valley, Hounds From Hell Dog Training and Rehabilitation LLC has been revolutionizing dog training since 2018, backed by two decades of experience. This unique venture is more than just a training facility; it's a trans-formative journey for both dogs and their owners.

The story of Hounds From Hell, as told by owner Karina Espinoza, starts with a childhood surrounded by German Shepherds and Belgian Malinois, trained by a father whose skills were honed for Lackland AFB. This early exposure to disciplined, well-trained dogs ignited a lifelong passion, turning a simple dog-walking hobby into a professional calling.

At Hounds From Hell, the focus isn't just on the dogs. The training programs are meticulously designed to educate both ends of the leash. Specializing in severe behavioral issues, the facility also welcomes puppies, therapy dogs, and some psychiatric service dogs. The secret to their success lies in creating personalized training plans, considering the owner's time, budget, and the dog's specific needs.

One of the hallmark services is off-leash obedience, crucial for dogs' safety and freedom. Moreover, they specialize in training dogs around livestock, a skill vital in rural and semi-rural settings. Doggie boot camp and private lessons rank as their top services, catering to diverse training needs.

Hounds From Hell employs a balanced training approach, adapting techniques to each dog's individual personality and potential. This flexibility ensures maximum effectiveness and satisfaction for both the canine and the owner.

Community involvement is at the core of their philosophy. Karina works closely with local rescues and humane societies, and their foster program is dedicated to rehabilitating dogs, preparing them for a loving forever home.
