Happy Gotcha Day Rue!
My peanut, Zu, Roo, Leroux, ZuZu, satsu,
Satsuma, Z, the littlest.
You are my favorite lesson and my favorite blessing.
Life INFINITELY more fun and interesting with you in it.
Thank you for letting me keep the softest parts of my heart with you.
Thank you for making me work for it and for reminding me of what really matters.
Your friendship makes me a better person.
Our challenges have made me a more creative and talented trainer.
Your love for me when I haven't felt lovable has carried me thru some of the darkest nights of the soul, our travels have brought me so much joy.
We should all be so lucky to know the joy of the journey when shared with a good dawg.
11 years has just flown by.
I love you more than chocolate.

Wildlife encounters are part of living with dogs in Hawaiʻi.

They shouldn’t be left to chance.

Most dogs don’t instinctively know to give space to honu, monk seals, or bufo toads. They have to be shown what safe choices look like — and practiced until those choices become habits.

This kind of training is modeled after the same principles I've used in professional rattlesnake avoidance work.

It’s calm
it’s clear
and it protects everyone involved

your dog
the wildlife
and the future of off-leash freedom here on Maui

If your dog spends time near shoreline trails, beaches, or upcountry areas where bufo are active, this is one of the most important skills they can learn.





Trust. Train. Thrive.

We train in real time, in the real world. Most of these dogs came to me as reactive, nervous and mislabeled as aggressive. First we build Trust ~>
Train ~>
Thrive.
If your dog is reactive, nervous, fearful or any other behavioral issues the answer is rarely more obedience training.
Reach out, our approach focused of relationships and state of mind. It is unique and proven.

This is Bullet with a great example of "structured" exercise. We aren't hyping him up, not throwing the ball as hard as far as I can and you can hear the handler tell him to "come" when he's bringing the ball back, "drop it" and "out" These are very important skills to practice as much as possible!
Lifestyle training is all about incorporating training into life and play.

Out of control exercise that practices high arousal/high energy turns dogs into little adrenaline addicts and builds an athlete that needs more exercise everyday. The solution? BALANCE Physical AND mental exercise.
That is why adventure club always starts with calm ~> training ~> structured exercise and ends with calm. It's a warm up and cool down for their whole system. Need help or don't know where to start?
I'm opening up my books for the first time since 2024 for owners who want to balance their dogs mind/body and teach calm on command!

I don't mind walkies in the rain but most these dogs don't! Nothing like a group walk to work on pack migration, auto sit, group place and impulse control! Skills stack!

Friendly reminder fake service dogs are a felony in some states, taking them on an airplane turns it into a federal matter and that faking a disability is poor form in all 50 states.

The most valuable yet over looked thing we can teach our dogs is the art of doing... nothing. clock 🥱
Most behavior challenges stem from a nervous system imbalance. ⚖️ Teaching them how to disconnect with the environment is essential to resetting a nervous system. Do you practice doing nothing with your dog? 🐾🐾
