She really loves our fur baby and he loves her too. Can't say enough great things about Waikiki Wags! Thank you Linda and your staff, specifically Hiroko, for being awesome people and doing what you do. We are truly appreciative and grateful.

So I was looking for a pet boarding for ten days in the month of May 2026. We live in town and…read morewe're looking for someplace for our fur-baby, 3yo German shepherd terrier mix, to stay while we were gone. We were looking for a reputable place who would care for our pet as if she was home. Someplace she would feel safe since we know she has anxiety issues and is really shy around strangers and may be aggressive if provoked. We tried leaving her with family, but because of her temperament, they suggested a boarding care. She is great with their dog, but they too were looking for boarding for their pet. And because they go to a pet daycare weekly, they were sending their pet to their favorite pet daycare. So while I was searching a came across Happy Puppy Kingdom. The website and instagram pages showed doggies having fun and their prices were reasonable and their care packages were affordable. We made contact through Yelp and on to our introductory appointment. We also were able to provide Kamalani's vaccine records. As certain vaccines must be given in order to book the appointment's "meet and greet". The Owner, Sophia, was so caring, gentle, and loving towards Kama. She talked to her and built a trust for us and Kama. So we started to take Kama for weekly visits starting in January 2026. We knew Kama was going to be reluctant to go because she hasn't been around other dogs a lot and only family & family pets, and knew getting her used to HPK may take a while. As the months went by she started to know which days she got to go visit "her friends". We literally asked the day before if she wanted to "see your friends!"" And she would get so excited. Jumping up, wagging her tail, looking around for Miss Sophia. And when I'd drop her off she can't wait to get out of the car. In April we did the first overnight, and it was hard, for us. Constantly looking at the clock, expecting her to greet us at the door, and her hugs and kisses...nothing!! But she did great!! HPK said she didn't eat the food we provided, so they gave her their homemade food & she really enjoyed it. So when the days came for us to leave we knew Kama was in great care with HPK. We got pictures and videos of Kama when we were away. And it turned out, our in-laws also sent their 7yo hybrid poodle, Mochi, there too. And they said Kama protected her when she was scared. When we came to pick them up they were so happy to see us!! We know Happy Puppy Kingdom took such great care of our fur-babies and that this is a loving and caring place to leave them if we ever plan another trip. Sophia reassured us and gained our trust & Kama loves her too!!!

The day that we picked up Izzy from the breeder, we texted Natalie on the way home and she met us in less than an hour after introducing Izzy to her new home. Izzy's training began immediately, and I could tell that she adored Natalie and paid attention to EVERYTHING she said and did. We've since had additional training sessions and day outings. Izzy sees a HUGE benefit from every minute spent with Barkhaus. We will happily continue, and I would recommend them to anyone living in town. Super happy!

I honestly can't say enough great things about Anthony Ohm. We recently adopted a little mutt…read more(Nala) from the humane society. She is an amazing seven month old puppy: healthy, happy, social, friendly with both dogs and people, and good on a leash. However, when we left her alone for any extended period of time--anywhere from three minutes to three hours--she would go into a nervous rage, crying and barking nonstop. To make matters worse, we live in a small apartment with thin walls and are surrounded by neighbors who made us aware of her incessant barking. We needed help and Anthony came to the rescue. Let me say that my wife and I did a ton of research before we called Anthony. We read books, articles on the internet, and consulted with several seasoned dog-owners about how to quell Nala's separation anxiety. Unfortunately, though, nothing seemed to work. Therefore, we began calling various trainers on Oahu to discuss the problem. Some trainers sounded rather harsh in their training methods while one was flat out rude (one woman, a supposed "trainer," even recommended to my wife that we rehome our dog during their brief phone consultation). Also, most of the trainers had exorbitant prices. Needless to say, we were feeling pretty down and helpless. And then we called Anthony. Anthony spent a solid twenty minutes on the phone with me listening to me discuss our dog's problem and all of the solutions we had tried up until that point. It was an amazing conversation that was very supportive and reassuring. I could tell that he genuinely cared about helping us out. Anthony listed a few things for me to buy before our session, and made some recommendations about changing Nala's schedule. On the day of the session, he came to our house and observed her behavior with us. He took a look at our home and made suggestions about how to make some subtle changes to help with the problem. Then, we went to a nearby park and played a number of games with our dog. These games taught us how to build Nala's confidence, and how to help her cope with being alone when we leave the house. Things are still not perfect, but we have noticed DRAMATIC improvements and it has only been a few days since our session with Anthony. With time and a lot more practice and playing these games, I'm confident that Nala's anxiety will go away. Anthony is an amazing dog trainer; I recommend him to anyone who is having problems with their dog. He will truly teach you how to better understand your dog's needs, and he'll make sure that everyone has a lot of fun learning together.

My husband and I decided to pursue training with Anthony after finding we were pregnant with our first child. Our sweet plot hound / (possible pit) mix is incredible toward my husband and I but highly aggressive toward other people and animals.

Anthony was patient, understanding, and informative as he walked me through the steps necessary to take control and make positive changes. He encourages physical activity and positive reinforcement which is exactly what our dog needed. He gives you tips and tricks to use while you are at home / in between training. You can tell that Anthony cares about your dog, your family, and your individual needs and goals. A few short sessions has made a world of difference. We are now hopeful for the future of our family(:

Running away, jumping, even pooping right in front of us... it got to the point where it just wasn't fun anymore. That's when we called Island Dog Obedience. Kristi was incredible from the start. She came to our home to meet Gigi, and soon after, Gigi was off to Kaneohe for training. It was hard being without her, and we wondered if anything would really change. Then came the daily photos--Gigi playing with other dogs, calmly sitting on her cot, and responding beautifully to Kristi's commands. It was amazing to see. When Gigi came home, we were hopeful but unsure. She greeted us with joyful zoomies, then quickly settled down and listened. We couldn't believe it--she was a completely different dog! Gigi is now the best little pug, and it's all thanks to Kristi. She was amazing, and at our house for over 2 hours making sure we understand how the e collar worked. It was a great day for all of us. with so much love and aloha, Jeri & Jerry Lynch

Kristi is truly one of a kind My boyfriend and I came to her desperate for help with our new pup, Kona, who struggled with severe anxiety. He was scared of pretty much everything -- people, new environments, being separated from us -- and we were also dealing with barking, basic obedience, and some unwanted behaviors. After just 4 sessions, the transformation has been unbelievable. Today was our final session, and I honestly wish I had a video of how Kona used to be so people could truly understand how far he's come. At the beginning, he wouldn't even go up to Kristi and was extremely hesitant and fearful whenever she took the leash. Now? He confidently walks up to her on his own terms -- calm, trusting, and self-assured. That alone speaks volumes. Kristi didn't just train Kona -- she guided us on how to train him the right way. She's patient, knowledgeable, supportive, and truly cares about both the dog and the owners. She sets you up for success, but it's important to note that the progress comes from continuing the work at home too -- and her guidance made that possible for us. We are beyond grateful for Kristi and everything she's done for our pup. If you're dealing with anxiety, fear, or behavioral issues and want real results, Island Dog Obedience is 100% worth it. I cannot recommend her enough!
