Amazing Trainer! Helped me out with some on leash and confidence problems. The things I learned are still being applied today, if it's an hour long training session, 25 minute structured walk, or just 5 minutes of training because im tired lol. He's the real deal.
Client Testimonials
Kimberly Morrison, HI
Excellent trainer, 100% recommend! Charles has helped us with our dog bourbon completing basic obedience and worked bourbon through his male dog aggression issues.
Tommi Gernhard, HI
Charles was an excellent trainer for my dog Cassee. She had dog aggression issues. He worked well with her, but most of all trained me to work with her. He worked with our other dog also and even brought one of his dogs to help train Cassee. Appreciate all your help and thrilled with the results. Mahalo!

Charles was amazing with our fur baby Honey. He is very knowledgeable and patient. I would highly recommend his services if you are looking for training.
Lynn Tate, HI
The best trainer hands down. Charles was able to tap into our learning styles to teach us how to work with our puppy. You don't get that often. He is always consistent and reliable. He's very attentive to our questions, comments, and concerns. He makes us feel at home and welcomed in all aspects. Our puppy loves him and gets excited whenever he sees him. We were able to customize our training because Charles understands each family desires different things. He is our puppies forever teacher.
