It is hard to put into words exactly how grateful we are for the progress our pup made with Maria and Island Dog Obedience. We did a two week board and train with our 11 month old Labrador puppy, Slater and I can say with confidence, it was worth every penny! Our boy came back to us with so many positive behaviors. He now walks beautifully in heel and off leash, responds to a slew of new commands, is able to “place” when we have guests over and has better recall than we ever expected! A bonus for us was the daily photos and videos that Maria sent. It was such a treat to see his progress unfold… and receive proof that he was not only learning, but also happy and loved! The time, commitment and care that is put into this training program is truly one of a kind. Thank you so much, Maria & Island Dog Obedience!!!

I sent my 10-month-old Golden Retriever to Island Dog Obedience for their two-week program, and I’m honestly blown away by the results. Before training, my pup was sweet but definitely had some opportunity on the behavioral side of things. Now? He’s off-leash trained, stays in place while I move around the house, and listens with a level of obedience I didn’t think was possible this early on. The structure and consistency they provided made a world of difference, and the tools they sent us home with, including the best e-collar trainer in the business which set us up for success. My dog is now calm, confident, and responsive. If you’re on the fence, just do it. It’s been a total game-changer for both of us. Mahalo, Island Dog!

Best dog trainers on the island! I've sent both of my dog's Mano and Myla to Island Dog Obedience's 2-week board and train program and now I can take both of them out, on and off leash, with no worry or stress! We had such a good experience with Mano back when he went at 2 years old (he is now 8 years old), so we sent our 1 year old puppy Myla to the 2-week board and train too and both of them had such amazing results! We love Island Dog Obedience and we will always recommend them to everyone whenever someone needs a dog trainer who will make a huge difference. Mano was trained by Alex and Myla was trained by Raya! Both amazing trainers. During the 2 week training they both learned essential commands like heel, sit and stay, down, come, and place, along with learning to be more confident around other dogs, and have reliable recall even from a distance. All these things they learned helps to make life so much easier as it helps build trust in your dogs without worry!

I am at a stage in my life where I have the chance to own a dog of my own. However, having a properly trained one can make the biggest difference with my experience. Maria and Emily did a wonderful job training my toy-sized Australian shepherd. She is now following my commands. I dictate when to play and when to chill. I now have her follow me during our walks instead of the other way around. I give her the command to lie down and chill so I can have friends over for DINNER without her constant interruptions. Island Dog Obedience starts the process but you as a dog owner will need to continue with the training after you get the puppy back for the next 2-3 weeks. My Zoey is now fully trained and is not only adorable but a true integral part of the family. I highly recommend them. I got my nieces and nephew a puppy of their own—a toy-sized Aussiedoodle. I look forward to have them train this new puppy after she is fully vaccinated. I have no reservation in recommending them.
