Hawaii Dog Training Academy 41-240 Hihimanu Street, Waimanalo, HI 96795

"I sent my girl here for a board and train program. Eric and his team were very attentive and routinely kept me in the loop on her progress while she was away. She ended up staying a little longer than usual, since Eric takes pride in his work, and he felt she would be where she needed to be if given a little extra time. My needs were a little unique, so Eric developed a customized program to address those needs. I'm very grateful to him and his team's help with my little girl."

"We enrolled our stubborn American Bully with Eric’s three week boarding and training program. We had to wait a few months because of high demand, but it was totally worthwhile. Our Zeus was a different dog, very disciplined, compliant and well mannered. Hawaii Dog Training Academy does exceptional work, is highly recommended and without hesitation. Zeus stopped pulling during walks, rather keeping pace, stopping when I stop and sitting automatically; he no longer gets overly excited around people, other dogs whereupon he would try to jump on them out of excitement; complies with all commands like heel, sit, lay, place: and is consistent, eager with recall while off leash. We are extremely satisfied with results of the three week boarding/training program. Excellent job Eric and team. Again, highly recommended but encourage to book right away, or you’ll have to waiting for months."

"My wife and I brought our GSD puppy to Eric. From the very first interaction it was clear that him and everyone there absolutely LOVE dogs. They love caring for and training dogs, whether working dogs or family pets. What was even more impressive was the communication/ updates throughout the board and train process AND THE RESULTS. Our puppy is a family dog but our friends bring their working line protection dogs there for training as well - the work they do and results are second to none, regardless of your dogs needs."

"Best board and train on island. We have used Hawaii Dog Training Academy twice now, once for their 3 week board and train and another for a weekend boarding. Both times Eric has treated our guy so good and we’ve seen amazing results and detailed instructions for when we go home. We gave him instructions on what our goals are and he provided our puppy Kilo with what we asked and more. Eric is well experienced and extremely knowledgeable and was able to educate my husband and I so much. He cares about the dogs on a personal level and treats them like they’re his own. He still asks for updates (: We will definitely be back to use his services next time we need it."

"We've known Eric for several years now due to both of us being active in dog sports. We've seen how hard he works and how dedicated he is to the training of his own dogs and the dogs of his clients. Which is shown through his many accomplishments. He is also just an all around great guy in general. So when we were about to have our first litter of Working Line German Shepherd puppies, I knew that I wanted to provide the new puppy owners an opportunity to attend an obedience class to help them train their pups to be productive members of society lol. So of course I went directly to Eric to see if he'd be willing to hold a group class for my puppy buyers. Not only was he willing to but he was genuinely excited and happy to do it. The pups and their owners went through a 6 week course that went over engagement, luring, sit, downs. place, loose leash walking, recall, etc.. and those who were committed to training with their pups saw a real improvement in how they were able to communicate with their pups and how their pups behaved. He was also there to answer any questions they had and will still help answer any questions they may have even though the class has finished. I would recommend Eric any day and will for sure be going back to him when we have another litter of pups."
