After using two trainers before finding deanna, I am eternally grateful for Hawai’i Dog training services. Deanna shifted the entire dynamic of my house. I’m someone who was willing to rescue and rehabilitate dogs at whatever cost, and Deanna saw and admired that in me, even if I am a “glutton for punishment” lol. She taught not only my three dogs, but me so much and offered more than I could’ve ever paid her for! I had a trainer tell me my dogs genetics were going to “haunt me for the rest of my life” and Deanna (who also has mutts) didn’t care about the shape, size, or behavior. She took them for who they were and made them the best that they could be (which they’re pretty dang awesome if you ask me). We owe deanna our entire life plus some. Nalo, Eva, and Remii gained an Auntie - and the Hensons gained a friend!
We board and trained our 9 month old lab puppy, Koa, with Deanna and it was the BEST decision. Our puppy may have only been 9 months old, but he was strong and I could barely walk him because he pulled so bad. Not only did he pull, but he lacked focus to the point that I was at a loss on how to train him. Once he came back from being with Deanna, he was a whole different dog. Well behaved and I was not only able to walk him easily but with him glued to my side and a loose leash in my hand. She also helped us understand Koa and his mind better and the why behind the training. She helped us to have a better relationship in our home with him and grow to love him. I tell everyone about Hawaii Dog Training and couldn't be more thankful for Deanna and all we've learned from her!
Deena was referred by a trusted friend - she then became a trusted friend quickly when she demonstrated her knowledge, passion, and respect for her clients and their fur babies. She provided me with in-home private lessons for my 1 year old dog which shaped such fantastic behavior out of him with the skills she provided me with. She also provided tools, resources, and access to other opportunities like pack walks. After our home sessions had ended, I was still able to contact Deena with training related questions and she was more than happy to help. Now, my dog is three years old and experiencing some health concerns where vets have left me feeling confused on what is best for his wellbeing. After visiting four different vets, I gave Deena a call and I couldn’t be more grateful of the open arms she welcomed me with along with a wealth of resources. I am finally no longer feeling out of control over my dogs health and ready to help get him back on track. I should have started with her to begin with! If you are new to dog parenthood or seeking dog support for your older doggos - she is my go-to! Ps. She has a soft spot for senior pups.
