Dusty Dog Training

I cannot recommend Dusty Dog Training enough! My Australian Shepherd had to prepare for a long journey involving three flights, and thanks to Dustin's incredible training and support, she handled it all like a pro. From the very beginning, Dustin was kind, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. He worked closely with me to make sure my pup was comfortable, calm, and well-prepared for every part of the journey. During the flights, she was so well-behaved—it honestly amazed me how relaxed and confident she was the entire time. I truly credit Dustin’s training for making the experience smooth and stress-free for both of us. I now feel completely confident flying with her again, and it’s all thanks to the outstanding service we received. If you're looking for someone on Oahu who genuinely cares and delivers real results, Dustin is your guy.

I can’t recommend Dusty Dog Training enough! From the start, Dustin was professional, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. My dog responded so well to the positive reinforcement techniques, and I saw real progress within just a few sessions. Dustin not only helped my dog but also taught me how to communicate better and stay consistent with training at home. Whether you have a new puppy or an older dog with stubborn habits, Dustin knows exactly how to handle it. I’m so grateful for the confidence and peace of mind this training has given us and so happy my dog can fly with me now ◡̈

Dustin is a very knowledgeable and skilled trainer. You can tell he is passionate about his work, and is dedicated to helping owners and their dogs achieve whatever level of obedience and training they are striving for. Before training with Dustin my dog would rarely listen when I called his name, and after the first couple of sessions his recall and leash skills improved drastically. I am now confident in my dogs off-leash abilities, and am constantly complimented on how well he listens. Dustin is great around animals, quickly earning their trust and finding the best way to communicate with them. His instructions and lessions are clear and easy to follow, and he was a joy to work with. I highly recommend Dusty Dog Training for anyone looking for dog training.

I’ve trained high-level working dogs alongside Dusty, and I can confidently say his skills as a dog trainer are top-tier. What really stands out is his ability to take that same expertise and apply it to pet dog training in a way that’s clear, compassionate, and effective. Whether it’s helping with basic obedience, leash manners, or more complex behavior issues, he has a gift for reading dogs and teaching owners how to bring out the best in them. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a well-trained, happy dog!

We sent our 2 one year old Labradors with Dusty for the 3 week board and train and they came back the Goodest Dogs. Our dogs came back from training with a full understanding and control of heel, sit, down, stay, leave it and MOST importantly NO. These dogs know that NO is real and serious and stop anything and lay down if we say no. Dusty’s training has given us the control and the dogs the confidence to be off leash, have full recall, and be able to go anywhere in public and trust them. They are the best and we get so many compliments on their behavior. 10/10 recommend.
