How can I get my dog to stop barking ?
First, we will identify the root cause of the barking. It is not always what you might perceive it to be. For example, a dog might bark any time a guest enters your home. This does not mean that the dog is aggressive, or that the dog doesn't like people. This may actually stem from a lack of confidence and the need for clear boundaries. Barking is more than a physical reaction- together, we will discover the mental/emotional process behind the barking, and address the root cause head-on.

How do I get my dog to stop jumping up on people?
A dog that feels rewarded for a certain behavior will continue that behavior. In most instances, a dog that jumps is a dog that has been ''rewarded'' for doing it too many times to know that it is not something you want. Rewards can include the way that you excitedly speak to the dog or pet the dog during the behavior. If the dog is only rewarded with affection and attention once they have settled, they will learn to settle. I can help you initiate this change. It involves clear boundaries with house guests- if someone comes in your home and your dog tries to jump up and greet them, the person needs to ignore the dog until it calms back down. Petting or speaking sweetly to the dog will reinforce to them that the person is happy they are being jumped on. It takes self control around cute puppies !

What do I need to bring to a training session?
Just bring your dog! 🐾 We provide leashes and crates. You’re welcome to bring along your dog’s favorite treat or toy as an icebreaker—it helps make training fun and comfortable from the start.
Community answer · Maui Dog Whisperer · 2025-09-21
How old should my dog be to start training?
Puppies can begin training as early as 8 weeks old. However, it’s never too late—dogs of all ages benefit from training and can learn new skills.

How do I know if my dog has separation anxiety?
Separation Anxiety will manifest itself when your dog is left alone. Typical signs are excessive barking, destructive behaviors, and signs of distress like hyperventilation. Your dog should be confident and content enough that you can leave them/leave the house for hours in a day without worry. They should be able to relax without depending on your presence in order to do so. Depending on the severity of the Separation Anxiety, working through this can be a process, but is a highly beneficial one. The results will impact your happiness and your dogs happiness for the rest of your life together.

Why is my dog so hyper, and how do I calm them down ?
Owners often confuse a lack of mental stimulation and the inability to ''self-settle'' with a dog that is hyper-active or overly excitable. The desired result can be achieved by teaching your dog to rest, and by ensuring that they receive both mental and physical energy outlets throughout the day. I teach these things regularly.

Brock is amazing! I had a Chihuahua mix with anxiety and no social skills. After three weeks she came home as a different dog with so many different skills. I was so pleased with him. I took my other dog to him as well. I am so grateful for Brock #1 dog trainer. I recommend him to help you with your dogs.
Very kind people who love animals . Fun to work with - engaging - positive and very helpful .

My pup is a rescue and has issues trusting people along with behavioral issues. My husband and I have tried everything we could try. From advice from friends, blogs, YouTube videos, books, and even following a mixture of all of these and using our intuition. But it wasn’t until we started working with Brock that we gained so much clarity into the psychology of our Dog. Brock loves what he does and he clearly is an expert! His insights into how to train and help us work with Loki have been monumental. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to work with him on island and even have consultation from a distance. Thank you so much! You saved us right as we were ready to throw in the towel.

I think we probably have the most difficult dog on the island! He is a jack russell chihuahua. Brock has made it a lot easier to manage the dog's behavior. He even met me at the vet for the dog check up. I trust Brock and his family with the dog to care for him while he is training. We had family come from the mainland and I couldn't have the dog around the babies and Brock was there to save us!
