About Canine Coach Hawaii

Balanced training in Kailua

Canine Coach Hawaii, which also goes by Hawaii Dog Training Academy, is a Kailua dog trainer on Keolu Drive that calls itself "Hawaii's Family Dog Trainer." The team credits itself with over 30 years of combined experience and has worked with sport dogs, pet dogs and service dogs. It describes a motivation-based balanced training system: food reward and marker training to teach new behaviors, then leash work for direction, then e-collar communication for off-leash trust and reliability.

Stay & Train

The Stay & Train foundations camp covers basic obedience and good house manners through daily structured sessions, recreational play and signature training field trips that proof skills around real-world distractions. Days 1-5 typically focus on marker training, days 5-10 on leash work and days 10-14 on e-collar training. Dogs train from 8am to 10pm and spend the night in a crate inside the trainers' home, with only a few dogs at a time. Go-home transfer lessons and ongoing trainer support follow graduation, and the program typically books up in advance.

Lessons and puppies

Private and group lessons cover on-leash basics and marker training, then progress to advanced obedience around distraction and e-collar work. Puppy School is offered as well.
