I can't recommend Mokupini Paws enough! I have two pug sisters who have grown up together since…read morebirth. Earlier this year, they started having more frequent squabbles that escalated to the point where they were physically hurting each other. It became overwhelming and difficult to manage. I reached out to several training facilities, but many of them were hesitant to take my dogs because of how far things had escalated. Thankfully, Brandon at Mokupini Paws was willing to help. We enrolled in a month-long board and train program, and it made such a difference. At the handoff, Brandon walked me through all of the commands they had learned and how to use them at home. I was amazed at how obedient they were, while still keeping their fun personalities. Brandon is so committed to their growth and development, and his gentle way of leading them made the whole experience so positive and easy. The biggest change has been how much calmer and easier they are to live with. Walks used to be stressful--they would bark and pull on the leash whenever we passed other dogs. Now, they may whimper a little, but they stay under control and don't react like before. Playing with them, taking them out, and introducing them to other dogs and people has become so much more enjoyable. I'm so grateful to Brandon and the Mokupini Paws team for helping restore peace and making life with my pugs not just manageable, but fun again!

I can't say enough good things about Mokupuni Paws. From the very first introduction, I could tell…read morethey truly care about both dogs and their people. The trainers are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and professional, especially Brandon. Brandon never raised his voice and always remained calm and collected. He made the whole process enjoyable and stress-free. I can tell he truly enjoys what he does. If you're looking for results, clear guidance, and people who genuinely care, this is the place. I highly recommend working with Brandon and Mokupuni Paws, you won't be disappointed. Actually... maybe a little disappointment, because my dog might actually like Brandon more than me now!

We eventually decided on the basic 4-lesson training sessions, and we just completed our last one yesterday with Loren. Shout out to Loren for working so well with our Tank and Pepper!! First and foremost, you MUST be willing to practice reinforcing all the lessons you learn on your own time in between training sessions. It's like learning something once and then not doing your homework...would that work? Of course not. SOooooo.... my husband and I (mostly my husband), really put a lot of effort into doing our "homework" in between sessions with Loren. I mean, I wouldn't want to be the embarrassed parents who didn't help their children succeed, lol. Anywho, each training session was clear and had lots of scaffolding and repetition, so that our pups could succeed. There was plenty of explanation behind all the commands and corrections, so we knew how to handle our specific dogs. I think the personalization and customization was wonderful, and it makes me really happy to see that the trainer knew his stuff! Further, it was clear that he genuinely cared about each dog and his/her personality traits that makes each dog unique. During the 4-lesson basic package, Tank and Pepper learned sit (with duration and distance), place (with duration and distance), heel (still needs LOTS of practice), and down (with distance and duration). Now from here on out, it's about reinforcement, reinforcement, reinforcement. I don't want to lose any of this precious learning, so we better stay on top of things and continue the great work that has begin. We're so happy with k9 Off Leash that we are now also seriously considering the 2-week board and train with both Tank and Pepper. I know these guys are way booked out, so if you're even considering, then I suggest you call them right away!! Thank you, Loren, ad k9 Off Leash for your help with Tank and Pepper!!

She was also so patient and sweet with my child, answering their curious questions without missing a beat. That kind of grace is rare. The entire staff was amazing, and a special shoutout goes to the office manager, Sierra, who went above and beyond to accommodate our scheduling needs. You can really tell the whole team operates with compassion and professionalism. We left feeling informed, supported and genuinely cared for.

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.

Anthony was patient, understanding, and informative as he walked me through the steps necessary to take control and make positive changes.

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(:
