Kristen was absolutely phenomenal to work with. We loved the connivence of the train while your at work program and still felt like we were right there with her in the sessions thanks to the video recordings. Would highly recommend!

Kristen came to my office to help me understand a better way to crate train my dog.In a very small amount of time, she gave me excellent pointers, shared tools that I can use on my own, and showed me that I just need to put in more time reinforcing a positive behavior.I am so grateful she came to meet us and made me feel like we are really close to making the crate a positive experience for my pup!I highly recommend her and hope to continue working with her!

Kristen has been absolutely amazing with our corgi, Waffles. She really worked around my schedule, met us at our training level and immediately put us at ease with her knowledge and kindness. She’s been such a steady part of Waffles’ routine and development for the last 3 weeks.Waffles is a strong-willed dog that likes rules and routines, and Kristen was able has find creative ways to keep him active and engaged. Before he would react to almost everything especially while riding in a wagon, but now he’s less reactive and some say even calmer. She even helped us at his groomer session during nail clippings! She has also gone above and beyond by coordinating training sessions during his daycare days and when we needed boarding support, Kristen stepped in seamlessly, giving us peace of mind that Waffles was in safe, familiar, and loving hands. We also signed up for the concierge package, which has been such a treat—the portraits of Waffles are absolutely adorable and a wonderful keepsake of his training journey.Kristen isn’t just a trainer—she’s a partner who really cares about both dogs and their families. We are so grateful for everything she’s done for Waffles, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly!

Working with Kristen to help our anxious and reactive dog has been life changing! We have tried several dog trainers, but Kristen was the only one whose methods worked. I used to be scared to take our dog on walks, because she would pull and bark at every passing dog. Thanks to Kristen's work and guidance, I've been able to enjoy walks with her, and I can even take her on outings.Kristen is very good at explaining the "how" and "why" of dog training. She doesn't just train the dog, she trains you. After all, I needed the training as much as my dog did! She gave me the skills and confidence to keep progressing on my own, and now both I and my dog are much happier.I'm so grateful for Kristen. I wish I had contacted her years earlier. Thank you Kristen!!

Kristen is a standout dog trainer. I have a dog with a pretty big personality, but Kristen took the time to observe and understand her, noticing even the littlest of things, and tailored her approach to meet my dog’s individual needs. Kristen is such a gift to us dog owners who just want to do right by our pups and give them the best life possible. She gave us insight and tools to reach our training goals and met us where we were at, acting as the perfect coach for our team. The progress we saw was both quick and long lasting, further proof to us that she really knows her stuff and can combine her expertise with heart that shines through her work. My only regret is that I don’t get to train our dog with her more often!

Kristen is an amazing dog trainer. She took the time to listen to our concerns and genuinely addressed each one using different techniques and tools. We understand how to communicate with our dog better now, and have seen how this in turn allows him to have more freedom and a happier life! We can’t recommend Kristen enough.

Today was our last session with Kristen and we miss her already (maybe not Kilo because he knows he’s gotta do hard things when she’s around). But we can't say enough good things about Kristen! My boyfriend and I adopted our dog Kilo almost two years ago. We adopted him knowing that he struggled with reactivity towards dogs —lunging, fixation, and being generally overwhelmed in certain situations. We wanted to help him overcome his fear and make things less stressful for all of us, so we did lots of research and found Oahu Dog Training! From our very first session, Kristen brought so much clarity, calmness, and confidence to the process; starting from basics and then working our way up to the biggest trigger — dogs.She took the time to understand not just my dog's behavior, but also how we were feeling as owners. Her approach was completely tailored to our needs. With consistency and using the tools Kristen taught us, we’ve seen incredible progress and we couldn’t be more happy and relieved.We are incredibly grateful for the support and would recommend Kristen to anyone, especially those dealing with reactivity. This has been a truly transformative experience for all of us!

I highly recommend getting training through Kristen! I like to think that training isn’t just for our fur babies, but also for ourselves as owners. I was worried about how to properly correct my puppy, as he has a pushy personality, and other concerning behaviors, but Kristen clocked it right away. I did the 3 week train while you work and have absolutely no regrets. You won’t either. She is so informative and explains everything so well. I now have the confidence with handling my puppy and now understand how to bond better with him as well. Just be diligent and consistent with the knowledge you gain from Kristen.
