I can't say enough good things about Island Dog Obedience. We have a little pug named Gigi who we…read moreadore--but she definitely kept us on our toes. 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

If you're reading the reviews trying to decide, let me save you some time -- you're in the right…read moreplace. Island Dog Obedience is AMAZING. 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!

Went to look at fish for aquarium. Best place to buy Rummy nose tetra, price is listed at $4.39,…read moreother shops where at $5.99 and $6.99. But members have discounts which dropped the price to $3.45 (tax included). Price = 5 stars. But to get to purchase it is another story. Strange vibe from person catching the fish, basically told me, "what do I want, how many, is that all, go wait by the cashier, I'll bring you the fish", sure took a long time to catch the fishes compared to other shops. Did not mention any discounts and I didn't see any signs stating discounts. Then I go to the cashier, she ask for phone number, told her I don't want to give it to her. Didn't realize she was trying to get my membership number pulled up. Took out my credit card to pay and was told I'm not allowed make a purchase, so questioned her that I buy fish food from their Honolulu location, what does she mean I'm not allowed to make a purchase, then she clarified that since I'm not a member I'm not allowed to purchase live animals including fishes. I wanted to make sure I heard her correctly and restated back to her, so I have to be a member to purchase fish, she said yes, if not they couldn't sell me fish. So I question her, the fish in the bag will have to go back in the tank? She says yes. Silence..... So on my end I state, can I sign up to be a member, and from there it moved on to purchasing the fish. For those who want to return dead fish - the cashier explained to me the rules, bring back dead fish within 30 days, bring receipt, and bring some of the aquarium water (as they test the water), need these 3 items or they can't give you a return. The people that I interacted with kind of threw me off, almost like I were dealing with robots, I'm sure they are very nice people. But it got me thinking, what if I told fish person, I want 5 of this, 5 of that and 5 of that fishes, I'm pretty sure would have took +15 minutes to bring to the cashier. Then I tell cashier I don't have a membership, and we just stare at each other like robots. Get rid of the membership requirement to buy fishes.

From the very beginning, Stephanie at Loving Paws Dog Boarding was incredibly well-organized and provided detailed instructions for everything needed--nothing was overlooked. During our initial visit, K.O. immediately took to her, which gave us instant peace of mind. Stephanie has such a warm and calm presence, and it's clear she genuinely loves and understands dogs. She also sent us photo updates throughout K.O.'s stay. In the first photos, he looked a little shy (totally expected for a young pup), but by the end, he was happy, relaxed, and playing with his new furry friends. It was such a relief and joy to see him so comfortable and having fun! We're beyond grateful for the care and attention Stephanie gave to our pup. We'll definitely be bringing K.O. back for future stays. If you're looking for a thoughtful, reliable, and truly loving dog boarding experience--Loving Paws Dog Boarding is it!

Kristen is caring, professional and has a natural way with dogs, and their humans. She teaches so much more than just basic commands and educates owners about dogs and proper dog ownership. She uses positive training techniques which are key in helping you grow the relationship between you and your pooch. Kristen always invites questions and always prompt with a response, and offers plenty of suggestions to be successful. She exceeded all our expectations, her training approach was the most effective. I could genuinely say that she is Kaia's favorite trainer! I have worked with many dog trainers for almost a year because my girl has more extracurricular activities than I do!

Balanced Obedience has truly been a dream come true! Sabrina is absolutely amazing…read more Before training, I couldn't even walk our dog because she pulled so hard. It wasn't just me--even our dog sitters struggled to walk her. She also greeted everyone by barking, whether they were coming into our home or we were visiting theirs. She sounded like a fierce guard dog... which is pretty funny considering she's a full-blooded Golden Retriever! The transformation has been incredible. Not only is she so much better behaved, but we've also learned how to communicate with her in a way we never knew before. The training didn't just change our dog--it changed our relationship with her. We can't recommend Balanced Obedience enough. If you're on the fence about investing in training, take the leap. It is worth every penny, and you'll be so glad you did!

His flight out of San Diego was canceled, and Lenny adjusted on the fly to get him rebooked. Then, the day of the rescheduled flight, we got word Jagger wouldn't make it after all and would have to fly out several days later. Lenny rolled with it without missing a beat. He was especially great managing the transfer from the Honolulu quarantine station over to Aloha Air Cargo and on to Maui. That flight from the mainland ended up delayed too, and Lenny still got Jagger to Aloha Air Cargo extremely fast. It's clear to me he's a true professional with a real network at the Honolulu animal quarantine station. Can't recommend his services enough!!!
