Crystal and OLK Hawaii were outstanding. My Goldendoodle Sunny took to the training right away and looked forward to every time I brought out the e-collar. I highly recommend the course.

If you’re thinking about training your dog, Off Leash Training is the way to go. We enrolled our 2-year-old Goldendoodle, Kula, in a 3-week board-and-train while we were on a family vacation, and it was absolutely worth every penny. Kula was already a good dog but struggled with puppy-like behaviors such as mouthing and jumping, along with reactivity and impulse control. Loren, our trainer, sent us daily videos showing their progress and Kula’s growing confidence, which we really appreciated. Now we’re continuing everything Kula learned, including extended sit and down, duration work, door manners, greeting manners, and heel. Loren has years of experience and is clearly passionate about teaching both dogs and owners. He explains concepts in a simple, practical way that’s easy to understand and remember. Most importantly, Loren gave us the confidence and tools to continue training at home. Thanks to him, Kula is becoming a dog we can trust around kids, other dogs, and in everyday situations—truly the dog of our dreams. Mahalo, Loren, and mahalo Off Leash Training! -Nainoa, Tiana, and Kula

We are so grateful for Loren and the work he did with our Goldendoodle, Kona at Off Leash K-9. Loren was truly amazing. patient, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable. Kona struggled with anxiety, excitement around guests, and basic manners, and the results have been so worth it. His behavior is so much better now and it has been truly life changing for us. We can now take him with us to places and enjoy walks even in Waikiki which we never felt comfortable doing before. It was really hard to leave Kona, but Loren gave us daily video updates which helped so much. Being able to see Kona every day and watch the progress he was making gave us so much peace and reassurance throughout the process. You can tell Loren genuinely cares about the dogs and the families he works with. We are so blessed and our family is eternally grateful. We appreciate you so much, Loren!! We would 100% recommend Loren! MAHALO PIHA , Love Kona and his Ohana.

We are beyond grateful for Crystal and the incredible impact she’s had on our 1-year-old American Bulldog, Cookie. We’ve seen such positive behavior changes, and Cookie has improved tremendously. The progress has been truly heartwarming to witness. Crystal’s patience, kindness, and guidance not only helped Cookie succeed, but also gave us reassurance and peace of mind as owners. Thank you, Crystal, for your dedication and for helping us build a stronger bond with Cookie, while giving us the tools, confidence, and understanding to continue his training at home. Thank you again, Crystal & K9 Off Leash ❤️

Our pups training with Crystal was invaluable! Before training our pup was very anxious, reactive, had little obedience, and would constantly lunge and pull on her leash. During her board and train Crystal cared for our pup like her own. She bonded with her to where our pup trusted her and felt safe. We loved getting updates, videos, and pictures of her daily progress; and from the very first day we saw changes. After our pups training we are amazed to see all these changed in person. Her good behavior, obedience skills outside and inside the home, and her ability to walk loose leash in areas with people, kids, and dogs is Awesome! Another thing we appreciated was when Crystal showed us how to maintain these Changes so our pup can keep her good behavior. With her training our pup is happy and we are so thankful!
