Welcome to ProDog Hawaii!
Aloha! I have now retired.
We have provided in-home, positive reinforcement dog training and puppy training sessions to help you address and prevent behavior issues for 25 years and I feel honored to have worked with so many wonderful people and dogs.
What you can do still from this website is to buy my book "The loving agreement between you and your dog" (see the resource page). With all humbleness I believe it can really help you in your journey with your dog, no matter who your trainer will be.
Also I leave my blog up as there are many helpful articles.
Good luck!
