Highly recommend Dusty Dog Training! My pit bull/lab is such a high energy dog that pulled on the leash and launched in the air to get to people and other dogs. Dusty helped me work with my dog, and now he is a well trained joy. Now Dusty is training my new 6 month old chihuahua/terrier mix. I returned to Dusty because of my now 2 year old dog’s success, and because it is obvious he trains well by watching his own dog’s obedience. Dusty is calm yet in control, and dogs love him. He knows what he is doing, and is patient with me.

I had Dustin board and train my puppy and the results were awesome. Dustin was really helpful with walking me through everything he had taught my dog and showed me how to use the same techniques to keep control over my dog. Night and day difference thanks again Dustin!

It’s been about a month since Cash completed his training. I would have struggled to sit and enjoy a sunset with both Cash & Presley.. or even just Cash alone. With all the people and distractions at the beach Cash would have been a maniac… and I would have just avoided bringing him. But thanks to Dustin we all got to sit and enjoy some much needed time in the sand! (This pic was taken the day after he came home from training.) I really can’t say enough about what Dustin has done for us. Sending Cash to boarding was my last ditch effort. I was at my wits end with him and seriously considered finding him a new home that better fit his needs and temperament. I told Dustin I considered asking him to help me rehome him. Cash is NOT a bad dog, and he wasn’t my first boxer either. But he is a very intelligent. STUBBORN, STRONG WILLED, confident, and high energy dog. He was extremely reactive as well. It got to the point where I avoided taking him anywhere. My friends and family that visited knew and would tell other people how wild he was. But since he has come back from his training with Dustin, we’ve been to the beaches, on walks, and even downtown in crazy Waikiki. We are both much happier and confident in each other. And I am so grateful I didn’t have to rehome him. Dustin has also consistently checked in after the boarding was done, to make sure we are still doing ok and to see if I need help or have any questions.

Dusty is so knowledgeable and easy to work with. He helped my dog learn to respond to commands and work with an off leash e-collar. So thankful for his help and care.

Dusty beautifully trained our 2 year old pit bull/cane corso. We were at the end of our rope and we’re on the verge of rehoming him. We sent him to dusty for the 2 week board and train course and we got back an amazing and perfectly behaved family dog that we are comfortable having around our 1 year old. Thank you so much dusty for the amazing job training Wattson we don’t know what we would have done without your help.
