I honestly can't say enough great things about Anthony Ohm. We recently adopted a little mutt (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. read more

Anthony decided to take a chance on a dog that was deemed "untrainable" by some, and we cannot thank him enough. 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. During our first session with Anthony, our dog learned more obedience than she had ever learned in the past. 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(: read more

I was searching for a positive reinforcement trainer in Honolulu and upon doing a little bit of research I found Anthony's website, http://dogtraininghonolulu.com. I have a 3 year old male French Bulldog, Quill, who is quite stubborn and bull headed. When he was younger we did a different style of training with choker chains, yanking the dog and negative reinforcement. My dog never responded well to it, but I did not know any other way and therefore haven't felt any progression with him. Quill and I met with Anthony today and we began immediately. I've struggled with him tugging on the leash, not coming when called, staying down and essentially not wanted to listen. Our lesson was 2.5 hours and within that time we were using treats and lots of positive reinforcement to get him to come excitedly, stay, go down and walk without tugging. I would recommend Anthony to anyone with any type of dog, old, young, big, small, energetic, stubborn like Quill and anyone looking to try a different style of training that your dog can look forward to. I know that with the tools he provided me with today Quill and I going to make huge leaps forward from now on. Also I have to say Anthony was very good with Quill aside from his training, you can really tell he loves working with dogs. As a dog lover myself, it was very reassuring to know that his heart is in the right place. BASICALLY go see Anthony, if you have a dog with behavior issues, GO, it's definitely worth it and I know you and your fur child will be 100% better for it! read more

Really good! He uses methods to make my dogs think. It was amazing, I could see my dogs thinking through problems. Go to this guy, Anthony Ohm if you want a great dog trainer. I've got a boxer and a bulldog. They used to bark and go nuts when other dogs would pass by my fenced in area. If a kid would rides by on his skateboard, they act like maniacs. The dogs would start running up and down the yard, barking and growling, then they would start biting each other. At first, I wanted my dogs to bark like good watch dogs. But my neighbors "gently" notified me that it was becoming a nuisance. So I called this trainer and he showed me why the dogs were doing this behavior and he gave me a plan on how they could be more well behaved. I found the dog training to be really interesting. He used positive approach dog training. And he came to my house for the lessons. read more

Anthony Ohm trained my labrador retriever and he really helped me to understand my dog. Jack, my lab, was pulling on the leash and when he saw other dogs while we were walking, he would go into this mad frenzy. He would be lunging on the leash and making a big spectacle. I know that exercising my dog is important and if he continued to get aggressive at other dogs, this would really limit his outside time. Anthony Ohm really helped me solve this problem. He spent a lot of time preparing me for what to do about this behavioral problem on the phone, without even charging me. I really appreciated the extra time he put in into helping me. The leash pulling and the aggression to other dogs was so bad that my girlfriend couldn't walk Jack on her own. Now, the problem is totally corrected. I can walk Jack without any pulling. And my girlfriend can walk Jackie on her own. So major improvement. read more

Wow! So this didn't happen, Anthony? How interesting. I have the $270 cleared check that I wrote you. I'm sure you must remember the check since you cashed it soon after the session. We did the "training" at Kaelepulu Elementary School in Kailua. You must remember that very hot day in March when you said you would bring water for both dogs, but didn't and you asked my husband to drive back to our home to get water for the dogs even though our house wasn't near the school. I thought my earlier review was fair, but given your odd reaction it's only fair that other consumers know more information. I wasn't going to go into all the details, but since your comment below attacks my credibility, let me say your training session was appalling. You wiped my puppy's butt with a handkerchief and rubbed it on the neck of my well behaved older dog. You said that by smelling his butt smell on my older dog, the puppy would consider the older dog his friend, which of course didn't happen. You made me do this very weird Silent Era film actress dramatic acting on the slope of the school playground to make my dog realize he was too rambunctious in barking at my older dog and this didn't work at all. My husband and my mother were there as witnesses. You wanted me to board my puppy with a female friend of yours and frankly it seemed like you were trying to make some money for her. It's unbelievable that you would pretend the session didn't happen when I'm sure you know it did. I'm almost tempted to post a photo of the check to show you are wrong. For people reading this review, I am not affiliated in any way with any other pet trainer. This was about me posting an honest review about the services I received. read more

Anthony is wonderful! He has a very calm presentation that worked very well for our doggie. He came to our home. He looked at how we live and how we interact with Robbie, and he gave us a plan on how to solve Robbie's bad habits. Anthony gave us lots of homework assignments that we could do on our own. He really helped me to understand my dog's behavior. Robbie was showing some fearful and aggressive actions. Anthony helped us address these problems. I'm so glad that I consulted Anthony as I can see that she is less shy around new people. All of the lessons were positive reinforcement which is what I wanted. Anthony's training produces results! read more

Highly recommended! I was having trouble with my Jack Russell terrier. My dog was barking and I was given a warning by my landlord. I called Anthony Ohm and his lessons were definitely worthwhile.

Anthony Ohm is a superb dog trainer! If you want to train your dog, then I highly recommend that you go to Anthony Ohm for dog training. I got my dog from the shelter and I was having trouble with separation anxiety. My dog would freak out when I left my home. He would whine and cry as if the world was ending. My neighbors were understanding but when it always happened, I felt that it was important to consider my neighbors peace of mind. So Anthony Ohm comes to my apartment and he immediately starts showing me what to do to calm down doggie. First he showed me these exercises that he said would channel his energy and be a good outlet for his excess energy. My dog was also pulling on the leash and Anthony showed me how to get my dog to walk nicely on the leash. Now I take doggie to parks and people are always commenting on how well behaved my dog is. Oh, and back to the separation anxiety: after the first session he was definitely calmer. Anthony taught me exercises that I could do and I practiced these on my own. I did additional lessons because Anthony said that doing basic obedience would reinforce the separation anxiety lesson. I did two more lessons with Anthony Ohm and during these lessons he taught my dog how to delay gratification and how to be happy even when I wasn't there. Yes, go to Anthony Ohm for positive reinforcement dog training. He's the best! read more

Really awesome dog and puppy trainer. I did puppy training for my mini dachshund years ago. Now my Wendell is five years old and he's been behaving great thanks to the early puppy lessons I did with Anthony Ohm. When I got Wendell as a puppy, he was showing fear based aggression to strangers whenever they would get close to him. Since Wendell is so cute, everyone wanted to pet him, and that's when the problems would start. He would bark at new people and if they got too close, he would bite them. Enter Anthony Ohm, the master puppy trainer. Anthony taught me a guidance program of training techniques that would make Wendell more trusting to strangers and new people. After Wendell learned to calm down around strangers, we improved his behavior with general training. I learned how to communicate with my puppy so that he would listen to me. And I also learned how to do the right things to keep my Wendall from doing the typical puppy problems (i.e. barking, chewing, etc.). My dog is now five years old and his fear based aggression issues are no longer a major concern. I owe it all to the puppy training I did with Anthony Ohm. I highly recommend Anthony for any dog / puppy training issues that you may have. read more

Anthony Ohm is a patient and a seasoned dog trainer. I would highly recommend any dog owner to seek Anthony for your dogs' needs in obedience and detailed training.

100% problems solved! I have a chocolate lab puppy and Anthony Ohm helped me with all my puppy problems. If you have any problems with your puppy, I'm very confident that Anthony can help you. It was humbling for me to admit that I couldn't solve all my puppy's problems. But Anthony was understanding. He showed me new ways to communicate with my puppy that I wasn't doing. Anthony explained to me that puppies don't come with a natural ability to understand human language. He showed me all these cool ways to communicate that puppies can understand that don't involve talking. I was having problems with my puppy eliminating in all the wrong places. He was play biting and his little teeth are sharp! He was chewing up my furniture. And when he didn't get what he wanted, he would start barking at me. I was getting worried that I might be doing something that was making my problems worse. With the help of a professional dog trainer, I solved all my puppy issues. And he showed me how to properly raise my puppy as he becomes older. Lots of my friends had free advice to tell me. Do this and don't do that. But everyone had different advice and it was getting hard to tell what was the 100% right way. I am so glad that I put aside my pride and asked for professional help. read more

My dog was crazy, super hyper out of control! He was destroying furniture, barking, pulling on the leash, and jumping on people. He wouldn't listen and he wouldn't come when called. Anthony Ohm answered all my questions and he taught me how to fix all my canine issues. I learned why my dog was doing the things that drove me crazy. And he gave me a plan on how to eliminate the doggie problems. read more

I have a young Rottweiler and I wanted him to be well trained so that he could interact well with my child. I looked at my dog training options and I decided to do private lessons instead of the large group classes. Through my lessons with Anthony I learned how to train my dog and how to treat my dog. I really appreciated the one on one attention. Anthony doesn't use the e collar which was important to me. My dog really listens to me now. read more

Yesterday, Discoverers Day, we discovered how much our puppy has retained from her classes she has had with her trainer Anthony Ohm. Although she hasn't seen Anthony in a few weeks, we know she misses him, respects him, and has learned so much in a short time by his gentle stern approach in training. We have taken a break due to our family health issues but certain key words and expressions that Anthony has taught whips our little princess into being an obedient fur ball. Last night some guest who came over couldn't believe this was the once rascal puppy. She did her routine of what Anthony taught her and was proud of being praised. There is certainly a major steeple ahead, more like Mt. Everest, but our princess has begun her journey and showing signs of enjoying getting a few steps ahead. The Three Thornburg's read more

I recently got a dog from the Humane society. She is a Jack Russell terrier mix and possibly part pit bull. I live in an apartment building and I was concerned about her destroying things in my apartment. She was chewing up my furniture and barking. I was very concerned about the noise being an issue and I since I live in an apartment, I wanted my dog Jenna to be well behaved around other people and other dogs. I contacted Anthony and I found him to be very knowledgeable. He showed me several things that I could do to harness Jenna's extra energy. Immediately, I noticed that Jenna was barking less and not chewing the legs of my table or tearing into my couch. I found Anthony to be well spoken and effective at dog training. I highly recommend Anthony for dog training. read more
