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!

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

Sharing my life with a highly intelligent & reactive herding dog is not an easy task. There were…read moremoments I shed tears thinking that I failed my dog to build a relationship with her. Luckily I found Ashley & Makana through dog friends on IG who were working with them already. I was able to set up a virtual consultation, private lessons, and day trains. All the tips, training and expertise they shared with me, helped flourish a better relationship & understanding with my pup. The 2 years working with them has helped Tequila grow into a more confident pup who I can take to dog friendly places, pawticipate in dog sports, have small dog play dates, join pack walks & slowly meet new people. I know that she will always have reactivity but now I have a better grasp on how to de escalate the situation when she has her big feeling moments. I don't feel defeated but instead empowered & able to advocate for us. I am very grateful that Kaulike is part of part of our lives and so happy that Tequila is looking forward to her monthly pack walks with them.

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!

The technicians are genuinely caring and clearly loved by my dog, which says a lot. We primarily use Hale Ola Pet Hospital for nail grooming services. A nail trim with buff is $35, and tipping isn't expected, which is another plus. They also offer a 5% military discount, which helps bring the price down. Beyond nail care, we've visited Hale Ola Pet Hospital for a teeth cleaning estimate, veterinary care when my dog had a large bump on her neck, and a microchip procedure. Each visit was timely, thorough, and fairly priced. Overall, it's been a great experience every visit, and we're thankful to have a vet so close to home. Highly recommend!! :)

That made our trip just so much easier. On top of that, he was listening to commands much more than when he left! Oh, and getting pics of him on our trip was the cherry on top. Will definitely be bringing him back to her whenever we need to go on a trip. Hope to have him have a playdate with her soon too.
