Inspiring the change & lifestyle you & your dog deserve,

10/20/2025

Trust is the foundation of every successful training journey for both the dogs and the humans.

The tool, the method, the titles, the fancy words… none of it matters if you don’t believe in the person guiding you.

If you’ve had a trainer you’d actually listen to again, drop a 🐶

N A C H O

Ever overthink leaving your house because of what might happen? That’s Nacho. This 4-year-old Golden Retriever is convinced dogs, bushes, and basically anything new = red flag. 🚩

We’ll be working on boosting his confidence so he (and his humans!) can enjoy walks without the drama. Because no one deserves to live in constant suspicion of shrubbery.

Waffles official welcome to the training pack 🐾

Waffles is a 2-year-old Pembroke Welsh Corgi. This adorably cute boy was wildly reactive when we met. Reactive to dogs, some cars, and to the cleaning staff in his building (among other things, lol). He also needed to learn to ride in a wagon per his building’s rules. You’ve probably seen some of his journey already but stay tuned for his full pupdate video!

PC: the absolute best local pet photographer.

So when I decided to include a completely coordinated-for-you photoshoot for my Concierge clients, she was the obvious choice! And, I couldn’t be more pleased with the images every single time!

With the right plan, your dog’s chaos can become your calm, too.

I wasn’t supposed to be a dog trainer…

Hi, I’m Kristen

Fun fact: I was actually allergic to dogs as a kid. Sneezing, hives, itchy red eyes—the works. So instead of playing with real dogs, I became the nerdy kid who read every dog book I could get my hands on and “trained” my stuffed animals.

One day I’ll have to dig up photos of that (because trust me, it’s hilarious)… but for now, here’s me in my element — working dogs the way little Kristen always dreamed she would.

I am outraged to hear that local Hawaii trainers are doing this.

If this happened to you, you’re not alone. Your story matters — and the more we speak up, the harder it is for these practices to continue. This practice is unenforceable and illegal — do not let them scare you into silence. Our dogs deserve better!

Welcome Moka to the training pack 🐾

Moka is an 11-month-old Pomeranian that packs a lot of sass in his 5 lb body. We’ll be working on leash reactivity and nonstop barking in his parents’ condo, as well as a general inability to settle down. Stay tuned for this floofball’s pupdates!

EXPERIMENT TIME! You’ll only need your dog for this.

Ready?
Now put your hands behind your back
and say “sit” once

Did your dog sit immediately?

The vast majority of dogs I meet for the first time don’t.

But if I bring my hands together & put them to about chest level while leaning forward? A beautiful sit!

That’s because dogs are masters of body language NOT the English language. And most dogs are taught to sit with a food lure. So this motion is what they know to mean “sit.”

The point? 99.9% of the words coming out of your mouth are literal noise to the dog that not only takes away from your message, but downright confuses your dog.

My advice, say less and do more. As in, ✨show✨ your dog - through your body language, energy, and leadership. Guide them to the right answer rather than talking them through it.

Did your dog sit with your hands behind your back? 👇🏽

Welcome Jake to the training pack 🐾

Jake is a Golden Retriever, just under a year old, that acts… well, exactly as you would expect a Golden under a year old without training to act 😂 he’s a big goober that turns into a giant bowling ball when greeting people. And that retrieving mouth of his, sometimes gets a bit carried away when he’s excited, scaring the grandkids that play at his house often. We’ll be working on some impulse control & manners for this giant lovebug. Stay tuned for his pupdates!

Welcome Aslan to the training pack 🐾

Aslan is a 1.5-year-old English Mastiff. Despite his enormous size, he is terrified of just about everything - trash cans being pretty high on that list. We’ll be working on confidence building so he can enjoy life a bit more.

Welcome Tato to the training pack 🐾

Tato is a 1-year-old Mini Dachshund. He’s really stinkin’ cute & he’s been known to take full advantage of it. He’s got a bit of FOMO (separation anxiety), leash reactivity, & selective listening - stay tuned for his pupdates.

(I’m a little behind in posting the pack so bear with me 😬)
