Question on Google
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.

Question on Google
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 !

Question on Google
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

Question on Google
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.

Question on Google
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.

Question on Google
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 a life saver, such a gift with dogs & their owners! My rescue Midnight & I had our first session with him & we both left more confident and aware & I left feeling hopeful & positive vs. defeated & down as I did with some previous training experiences. From the moment I reached out to him after a not so good experience, Brock has been generous, curious, kind, understanding & very positive. He gave me so much time, wisdom & advice without me having to commit to anything & really does take time to get to know you & your dog to see what will actually work. He knows one size definitely doesn't fit all. Throughout our time he stayed aware of me as well as Midnight, and checked in often to make sure I was comfy with what we were learning, if it was too much info at once and to see how I was feeling with it all. He even asked before we met how I best learn, which was a refreshing change. And fully understood the need for my at home training to be realistic vs. something I'd not be able to achieve (setting me, as well as Midnight, up for success!). I have every faith that Midnight (who's got serious fear aggression, impulse control & a huge prey drive) and I will learn all we need with him to ensure we achieve our goal of a fun, safe & adventurous life together. I can't thank Brock enough for his patience & willingness to work with us both & for all his encouragement that we can definitely grow to a new place of confidence for us both. Can't recommend him enough! As many have said, he's easy to speak with from the beginning & his passion for dogs living their best lives with their Ohana shines through in every way. Don't hesitate, reach out to him if you're in need of quality fun guidance & support! Update -> we had our 3rd session with Brock today in Iao Valley & what magic! We were around Midnight's biggest triggers (other dogs, kids & chickens) and he was a champ. Then, we took this dog, who's scared of the water, to cross the stream and up into the other side and again, he was an absolute star! The moment I saw my boy have the courage to follow me into this fast flowing water he'd never seen before and swim like it was nothing made me want to cry. And on our way back he even passed me in the water as though to say "Come on Momma you too slow!" 😄 Midnight & I left Iao do much more confident, me more educated & with even more trust that I'm going to bring out the best in him & we'll be able to lead a really amazingly fulfilling and fun life together here having some very exciting adventures. All thanks to Brock! Really, don't hesitate, just call him, have a chat & see for yourself how much he'll put you at ease from the get go.

Brock was awesome! I have a very high energy dog and Brock did a good job at tiring him out while I was away. Definitely recommend him!

Brock is an absolutely wonderful dog trainer. He walks you through everything and makes you really understand how to connect with your dog and make a commanding connection that they understand as well. He does all kinds of training, too. Highly recommended allowing his dog to come with on the sessions if your dog is ok with it. Willis will help teach your puppy the ins and outs of being a good girl or boy. Brock does sessions at home or out and about and is extremely flexible. Highly recommend!!
