Hands down the highest quality dog trainer you will find. Ive been to others with my dutch shepherd and Dustin is unmatched. Most trainers just want your money…Dustin actually wants to train your dog, and the results are there. Biggest thank you to Dustin from Leon and I for training us both to understand eachother better!!!

Dusty worked so well with my 18month old German shepherd. Before dusty, every walk my boy would pull like he was in the Iditarod. Unless he sensed another dog, and then he would freak out. After dusty? He was practically another dog. His job was chilling with me on walks, not rushing somewhere. And, while he's still whiny at the existence of other dogs, it's leagues better than straining and yanking to get at them. Dusty is phenomenal, 10/10 highly recommend
Working with Dusty had been an absolute pleasure! He is responsive, dedicated, and willing to go the extra mile to help ensure our dog is well cared for. When our Bernedoodle is in his care we have complete peace of mind knowing she is in good hands. I would highly recommend using Dusty for your training and boarding needs. Thanks Dusty!

I really can’t put into words How much this training did for my Dog and our relationship ! I have a 4 year old protective Pit Bull and thought I may have missed the window for him to be trained. After spending a few weeks in this program I have an entirely different dog in the very best way. I also had to put in the work on my side which is provided and encouraged with this program to get the very most out of it. I am so thankful WE DID, It was worth every single penny and more ! I highly highly recommend it to anyone wanting to correct certain behaviors and have the ultimate relationship with there dog ! I would do it again 10 times over !!!!!!!!!!!
Three week board and train with my 7 month old working line male German Shepherd was great. Dusty is knowledgeable, friendly, and his approach is very effective. The Waimanalo facility is excellent. Look forward to continue working with Dusty Dog Training.
