Meet the Team

- OC Dog Ranch Owner -

Hi and thank you for visiting our site! My name is Dana McMahan and I have been a professional dog trainer for over 15 years.  I handled in my very first dog show at just 10 years old and spent most weekends of my childhood participating in various dog events. I worked my first job in a kennel at 14 years old and have since worked as a manager in two facilities. About 10 years ago I opened my own successful dog training company in North Orange County where I specialized in fears/aggression cases. In addition to working with pet dog clients, I currently own 4 dogs who compete in multiple dog sports at a Regional and National level.

Achievements and affiliations:

  • Competitor in AKC Obedience, French Ring, Mondioring, Schutzhund/IPO, Rally and Dock Diving
  • Titled over 15 dogs to various levels in Competitive Dog Sport
  • Professional dog trainer for 15+ years
  • Handled and trained over 75 different dog breeds 
  • Taught group and private training lessons over the last 10 years in Orange County
  • Featured writer for multiple dog sport magazines and newsletters
  • Member of United States Rottweiler Club (Executive Board Member), American Working Malinois Association (Past Executive Board Member), DVG America. Past member of US Mondioring Association, North American Ring Association and United Schutzhund Clubs of America.

In 2018 I was blessed to buy the OC Dog Ranch from a good friend of mine and have tried to continue her vision for the ranch. 

Meet Our Office Staff: Patricia

Your first point of contact with our company is with our amazing Receptionist, Patricia. Trish handles all phone calls, emails, text messages, updating owners, billing … I’ll stop there because the list is quite long of all the things she does. Trish has over 10 years of experience as a dog trainer herself, although these days she works more behind the scenes so she can spend time with her family.

Meet Our Training Staff: Maeva

Maeva works not only as a dog trainer, she also lives on site at the ranch with her husband David and their three pets who you may have seen featured on our instagram. Their current household includes Guinness the Doberman Pinscher who is currently training in competitive dog sports, Mona a 2 year old Golden Retriever who is an International Champion in Shows, and Bonnie the black/white ranch cat.

Meet Our Training Staff: Allison

Allison has been a part of our team since 2018. She worked in the veterinary field prior to taking on a position as an apprentice trainer. She not only helps dogs reach their training goals, she also oversees the day to day operations of the ranch. You may also have seen her handsome boy Eli the Belgian Malinois who has made several appearances on our instagram! Eli is currently training in competitive dog sports and will hopefully title in 2021!

Meet Our Training Staff: Anna

Anna has been part of the OC Dog Ranch Team since 2015. She started by working in the kennel and managing playgroups and has quickly moved up to filling a manager role at the ranch as well as being an apprentice trainer. She has a passion for ensuring dogs are meeting all their training goals and has been a tremendous asset to our training team.

Meet Our Kennel Staff: Miranda

Miranda has been a part of our team since 2019. She has previously volunteered at Animal Shelters and completed courses to be a veterinary assistant. Since she was a small child she has had a love for all animals excluding small exotics. At home she has her Siberian Husky Wylee (who you may have seen on our Instagram), plus a variety of  small animals, reptiles and aquatic pets

Meet Our Kennel Staff: Mallory

Mallory has been a part of our team since 2019. She has over a decade of experience working with animals in both veterinary hospitals and in doggie daycares. She has a wealth of knowledge in caring for and handling dogs and we are so lucky to have her as part of our team.
